Commission to
Work on Traffic
Betternent
Citizens Committee to At
tempt to Solve
Tangle

Very much needed in New York City
is further regulation of traffic, with
some idea of permitting motor cars to
exist on living conditions with other
forms of traffic, as well as pedestrians.
The congestion of to-day is so much
greater than a year ago that it prom
ises an inextricable tangle as each sue
ceeding season adds to the number,
particularly of motor vehicles in use.
Il is to that end that the Board OF Esti-
mate has authorized the appointment
of traffic commission TO consider the
entire problem of traffic, and, what is
more, to make plans for the develop
ment of the city's thoroughfares. A
commission of citizens will be ap-
pointed to work in connection with the
city bureaus and departments.
The commission is to consider: (D
Traffic regulation and other means Of
increasing the capacity Of existing
streets; GU Means of separating grades
at important intersections, elevated
roadways for through traffic, two-level
streets, street widenings and new
streets; 90 A complete system Of auto
and trucking thoroughfares for the five
boroughs. with special reference TO the
linking up of the boroughs and to the
neighboring centres in Nassau and
Westchester counties and in New Jer-
sey.
The members of the commission are
to serve without pay and no positions
will be created or appropriations made
to take care of the work of the COM
mission. Robert II. Written, secretary
of the committee on the city plan, is
secretary of the commission, and Nell
son +. Lewis, chief engineer of the
Board of Estimate, and the borough
engineers will make the necessary en-
gineering Investigations and reports.
"The traffic problem is now recog-
nized as one of the most important
problems connected with the physical
development of the city," says Mr..
Written. "The enormous burden i'm
posed upon our street facilities has in
creased street accidents and retarded
the flow of traffic to an alarming de-
gree. The increase in shipments and
other business in the city and port Of
New York incident to the war will
make existing traffic delays all the
more intolerable.
"The regulations of the Police De-
partment have been effective in reliev-
ing the growing congestion, but regu-
lation has now gone about as far as
practicable, and it is now more a ques-
ton of actually increasing the capacity
of the roadways or of providing addi-
tional or relieving roadways."

August l Fixed as the Limit
Day for Operators to
Get Cards
Law Works Unevenly
No Permits Here for Those
Under 18-Upstate They
May Drive, Though

After all, it is for thirty days, and
rot for a week, that an extension mas
been given to motorists to obtain the
operators licenses required under the
Cromwell-Kelly act. The Secretary OF
State has granted this indulgence be-
cause the license applications were out
so late that only few of the many
who come under the law were able to
get them in anywhere near the time.
Therefore the law does not go fully
into effect until August l.
Requests for licenses received thus
far show, according to the Secretary
of States office, that anywhere from
two to seven persons in family oper-
ate the one car. The revenue to the
state from this source will therefore
run far above the original estimate OF
about 100000.
The unequal operation OF the law Is
shown in its application TO persons
under eighteen years Of age. Outside
Of greater New York any one under
that age, when accompanied by regis
tered chauffeur or the owner OF car,
may drive. The Cromwell-Keliy act
places the minimum age for obtaining
an operators license at eighteen years
You can Just bet those farmers up the
state never would stand for their sons
and daughters being deprived Of the
privilege Of driving a car. But its al
right to stop them here in New York
What do they live in the city for, any
way?
The confusion arising from the pas
sage of the Cromwell-Kelly act is OF 3
piece with the trouble there is bound
to be over the headlight law. The IL
censing bill when passed set July l as
the date of going into effect, but there
wasn't time enough left to. go through
the detail of actual enrolment. The
headlight law was enacted some time
ago. but judged from what already
has been done it is likely to go into
effect on August / without any one
actually knowing what are permitted
lights and what are not. This Is slt-
uation such as they already have IN
Massachusetts.
