Suggestions for modifying the regu-
latons now in force in New York City
segrcgating commercial and passenger
car traffic are contained in state
ment by Robert Lee Mopell, president
of the Metropolitan Consulate of the
American Automobile Association. Mr..
Morrell points out that serious com
morcial traffic tie-up may be expected
to follow heavy snowfall.
The statement follows:
"The present regulations segregating
traffic in New York City represent Il
desirable step forward in solving our
most difficult traffic problem. 1t is not
new, for traffic regulation really be-
gan when slow moving vehicles were
ordered to keep close to the curb.
have followed with interest the traffic
problem since 1898, when | first drove
a car, and when automobiles were
neither regulated nor licensed. How
ever. they were regarded as public
nuisances, barred from parks and bou
lcvards, and their owners and passen-
gers greeted with ovcr-ripe vegetables,
etc, whenever they appeared in certain
sections of the city.
ut seems to me essential that exist
ing regulations in this city be modi-
fled. For example, Lafayette Street
and Fourth Avenue should be avail
able for both commercial and passen-
ger cars Motor transportation is too
vital factor III our economic develop
ment to be unnecessarily handicapped,
especially at this time.
at is necessary that existing regula-
tions segregating traffic be modified if
not entirely suspended, during periods
of heavy snowfall, for the following
reasons: 1t is the custom, in clearing
the snow from the streets. to clear first
the main north and south thorough
fares. The side streets como last, and
often The snow is left there to melt.
In other words, during the period of
deep snow the side streets are all but
impossible. Existing regulations re-
quire commercial vehicles to make
such extensive use of side streets that
serious tie-up may be expected dur
ing period of deep snow
Automobile Row is displaying its
full quota of 100 per cent Red Cross
signs: The stores generally have re-
sponded, as usual, to the call.
Isn't it about time some one took
down the "eight miles an hour" signs
IN Central Park? The law is considera-
bly, violated. c. f. T. S.

supply now being $4,000 bags. Com
pared with 2,344,23l year ago, and
that there win be active buying in the
