of Identifying hit-and-run drivers es-
cape by permitting thousands of cars
to operate with tags which cannot

the lights are so placed as not to

1.-The District of Columbia is

MANY persons are arrested and
taken to court for collisions at street
intersections, when the real cause of

ion of the committee this distance
should be not less than 80 feet from
