URGED IN REPORT
Council Designates Points
Where LAMBS Are
Needed.

Placing of traffic officers or erec-
tion Of traffic lights at points where
arterial highways cross important
thoroughfares on which street cars
are operated was advocated by the
District traffic council in a compre-
hensive report on traffic conditions
adopted at a meeting Friday night at
the American Automobile Association.
Submitted by George w. Offutt,
chairman of the council. and indorSed
by the body, the report made several
drastic recommendations. Among
| them were.
| That the practice OF police OF lying
in wait in oLs.of.the.way places for
motorists should be condemned.
That trucks should not be barred
from certain streets unless adjacent
parallel routes are provided.
That the director of traffic should
have control over pedestrian trafnc as
well as vehicular traffic.
Special Training Demanded.
That special training in traffic en-
forcement be given to all poilcemen
engaged in this work by the inspector
| in charge of the traffic bureau.
That the courts should find and ad'
here, to a uniform system OF Hnes or
punishment for violators OF the traihc
| laws.
| That regulations governing truck
| loads be 50 changed as 10 take 1ron
| the truck manufacturers the right. by
establishing a rated capacity to deter.
| mine what loads Il truck may carry.
The council reatiirmed it's previously
| declared stand in favor OF the bill
| amending the present traffic act.
In commenting on the so-called spy
system, Mr.. Offutt's report said: THE
| council absolutely condemns the pres
| ent practice of manV of our traft'c n"-
| trolmen of concealing themselves In
side streets and dark corners and
pouncing out upon unSuSpecting mo-
| torists using main thoroughfare. 1t
does not have the tendency 10 pre-
| serve order and encourage respect for
| the law.
"Spy Systems" Cited.
"All spy systems. such as the use
of automobiles which are not conspic-
uously marked as police cars, the use
| of plain clothes men and the like, de-
serve most severe criticism"
Members Of the council explained
that the traffic directors should have
the same right over pedestrian traffic
he has over vehicular traffic for the
reason that "a pedestrian dodging ir
and out between lines of moving cars
endangers his own life and the lives
of motorists as much as n vehicle
moving into lines of pedestrians.
The council also urged that the ligh'
control system be extended except in
much congested districts, where a sur
vey should be made here. and in other
cities, before action Is taken.
