Cleveland, O., Oct 2.-London ID
the best regulated city in Europe from
traffic standpoint and Paris prob
ably is the worst, Edward May, police
inspector of Cleveland, reported upon
his return from trip thru European
cities to inspect traffic conditions.
Obedience of the English populace
TO the police and the traffic rnles and
lack of obedience or regard by the
French populacc accounts for the diff
ference, he said.
Inspector May recommends the
abolishment of the present yearly
automobile license plate and substi-
tuition therefore of perpetual license
and urges much more stringent exam
nations for taxicab drivers. He also
advocates raised safety zones in the
middle of the streets, such as used
in many European cities, TO protect
the pedestrian from automobiles.
Under the system of abolishing the
issuance of new license tags, Inspector
May said millions of dollars would be
saved yearly. License fees would be
collected annually as at present, but
the license would be valid IA long as
the car is used.
An excellent system Of Licensing
taxicab drivers Is us--d in London, he
said. Most of the drivers are middle
aged. The examinations for licenses
arc stringent and when man gets
one he is cautious to keep it Few
Of the chaufeurs arc mixed up III
