New Traffic Laws An Imperative
Necessity for District.
By BILL PRICE.

Every official and civic force and influence of the Dis
trc should be concentrated Congress at the beginning
of its next session Tor prompt passage of stringent
traffic laws. The eternal procrasnaon of Congress to
District legislation is irritating enough but when that
procrasnaon becomes responsible for increasing numbers
of traffic accidents which lives snued out
almost daily then quick action is Imperative necessity
Two things mainly responsible for the recklessness
and disregard of traffic regulations which bring these ata
ties, nues and damages. The first is the ndiscrmnate
censngo men and women to drive motor Existing laws
neither compel stringent regulations give the automobile
license office sufficient number of employees to initiate
of its for the greater protection of the public
against irresponsible and absorbing applicants for
drivers licenses The halt the lame and the deaf and
with defective eyesig defective of response
blity defective minds, obtain licenses with without
medical examinations to determine fitness And the most
dangerous of all licensed drivers with alcohol appees
whose exhauss off booze strong the gaso
line fumes of their autos.
No should have drivers license who is
addicted to the of alcohol and from every app
for license should be required to state to what extent
he alcoholic drinks, atestng his sobriey by afdavts
from responsible citizens if there is doubt to his
statements.
The second crying need is Traffic Police Court, with
requirements that every offender against traffic laws
shall be compelled to appear for trial in that court instead
of deposting collateral at police stations to be forfeited
If this DONE then repeated volaors of the laws will be
definitely located by court records and upon these records
the court and traffic police will know what to do. The
records should be delivered in duplicate to the automobile
license Office guide to action there upon applications
for licenses
Until better laws passed. it behooves the Commits
soners to devise plans that will bring about active
cooperation of the traffic squad the license Office and all
other agencies that have to do with reducing traffic dangers

it a mistake for any girl to in
