Mayor Says He Personally
Favors Ordinance to License
Motorists to Curb Reck-

Support in City Council

Mayor Dahlman said last night that
he is considering the introduction of
an ordinance to license all persons
driving automobiles.
Several other city commissioners in
dicated they will support such an
ordinance.

Commissioner Dean Noyes and Com
missioner John Hopkins, who carry

danger which reckless drivers create
for pedestrians and other motorists on
Omaha streets, and declared they will
support the plan for licensing driv-
ers.
Prefers State Law.
Commissioner Dunn is strongly in
favor of some regulation which Will
weed out careless and incompetent
drivers, but said he would prefer a
state law rather than an ordinance
affecting Omaha alone.
II think a copy of the Maryland
law. which makes 1t necessary for
those driving cars to qualify before
an examining board, should be intro
duced and passed by the Nebraska
state legislature at its next session. 7"
