Gated traffic movement, the committee
points to the desirability of a special
trafhc planning commission to study
the flow of traffic and make recon-
mendations to correct unsatisfactory
and unsafe traffic conditions.
Chasing Of Committees.
In outlining program of Coop
erative action the committee recon-
mends classification of communities
into groups: those of 5000 or less,
5000 to $4,000, $4,000 to 100000 and
loo, 600 and over Except in the case
of those located on main travelled
highways. communities of less than
5000 population do not have an
acute traffic problem says the COM
mittee. Findings of the conference
should be sent to the political heads
of communities of 5000, located on
main travelled highways, as well as
10 organizations which engage in
civic work in such communities
either through their national head
quarters or direct.
For the next class, IL is recon-
mended that a complete set of the
reports OF the conference be supplied
to the political head of the COM
munity and to the chamber of COM

report, dealing with the third part of

sity continue, with a subject so close
to the public interest. 1t is especially
desirable that as much duplication
as possible be avoided in the efforts

Continuation Of the co-operatiye

recommends that the Secretary of
