Modern ira ffic executives, trained
in engineering and city planning,
with a background of knowledge built
on the mistakes of the past, Will be
the directors OF traffic in the city
of 90 years hence. The cropping, un-
satisfactory" efforts now being made
toward solution of traffic problems
will All be subordinated to a scientific
analysis of and scientific attack on

fic congestion.

Instead of being taken off beat
the traffic officer Will he an especially
trained man, having little in COM
mon with the patrolman. except that
he wears the police uniform and eN-
erCiSes police duties. Instead of MAX
ing arrests his job will be to keep
traffic moving smoothly and precise
ly. although he will have the power
of arrest.
This is the view Of traffic control
in large cities of the future taken
ence on Street and Highway Satety.
The conference took initial steps to
organize public thought toward scien-
tific presentation of traffic problems
