Every Plane Must Bear License Number and Pilots Will Be Compelled to Observe Universal Regulations.

Washington, Dec. 2s R-Rules of the airways, designed to safe guard life and traffic in the clouds as do the older codes which guide vessels on the sea and vehicles on the highways, will take effect over the United States with the New Near.
 They were promulgated today by the commerce department, after Secretary Hoover's assistants in the task of drafting them called into conference representatives of all groups interested in the field of air navigation.
 After New Years Day, every craft that flies the air must bear its license number. and if 1t is used for public conveyance of people or goods, its airworthiness and safety must be certified to by the commerce depart laent on the application Of detailed tests that touch its power plant, fuselage and wings.
 Pilots and mechanics alike. &C., cording to the grade of their service, must be picked men Of proven competence, who have survived the ordeal of both physical and mental examinations.
 Once alright, the ships must con- iuct themselves by set rules for meetings and passing in the air, by lighting at night. and by carrying Instruments which will demonstrate the functioning of all portions of their contrivances.
 Five Types Of Planes
 As to airplanes, the new regula- tons recognize five classes of ma chimes, ranging from the 2.500 pound plane to the big machine that fits l3,O0O pounds and more. Tests were laid out which each machine must meet before it's airworthiness ean be certified, with the exception that when a manufacturer turns out m approved type of vehicle. the fol- owing identical machines may be given certificate based on the dem- onstrated safety of the model 1n- spectors of the commerce depart aent will see to 1t that machines in sarvice are kept up to standard. and got put in shape for use after acci- onts without renewed testing. Oper- ,ors of commercial vehicles, like
 ,sc. must make regular daily and
 led inspections. and keep log
 their findings, from which they
 Il make regular reports to the
 rnment.
 ,icchines in the air must refrain ...on1 approaching within 300 feet of other craft. They must pass to the right when meeting. and airplanes must give way to balloons and air. ships. By night, plane must carry a red light on it's right and green light on it's left. each visible for two miles, and must show a white light to the rear visible for three miles, Passing over landing fields, pilots must take notice If 8 red fuse is burning, for that will signal the

WELD'S LETTER ID
 TOWERS DISCUSSED
City Engineer Considered Capa-
 ble of Enforcing Efficiency

Chairman Regipald Towers of the board of public works, in session last evening. read letter from May or Weld, which stated that ineffi- ciency was believed to exist in the department and that no employe was indispensable to the city. Chair man Towers stated that he believed that the City Engineer was able to cope with the situation and to bring to task anyone found not dis charging his duties efficiently. and, if necessary, to dismiss him.
 We do not want inefficiency in this department" said Towers. Il have already spoken to one employe
 of the department about the ques- tjon, and I am fully prepared to let anyone in the department leave if he is not efficient"
 Chairman Towers did not state who the employe was and stated that he did not think 1t necessary
 to mention the mans name at the
 meeting.
 City Engineer Williams read a letter from the Mayor statinng that a list of streets which were receiv- ing oil sprinkling benefits and which
 were not assessed for the service should be filed in time for the board
 of assessors to act upon them. After
 some discussion 1t was voted that the city engineer and tho chairman of the board should confer with the mayor on the idea that the funds should be obtained by general taxation instead of assessment col lection, as the oiling came under the head of street repair more than
 dust laying. The list requested by the mayor was made up. however.
 It was voted that letter be sent to the owners of the Strand theater on Main street, stating that when weather conditions permit, the own CTS should improve on the walk in front of the structure. Several mem bers of the beard stated that they had received complaints relative to the slipperiness of the walk in wet weather and former cases of similar walks being improved by rough ening process were cited.
 A hearing for the construction of sewers on Holmes avenue was held at the advice of the board of health which recommended the construc- ton. The cesspools in service now are not functioning properly. It was voted to grant the petition and to recommend the construction to the common council.
 A hearing on the construction of sidewalks on Mill street, both sides, from South Main street to Logan street was held over for inspection next spring. It was felt by the members of the board that the street should be placed in as good condi- ton as possible.
 The construction Of curbs on Lyons street from Monroe street to Cambridge street was held and the matter was held over for inspection next spring. It was decided that the curb construction should be held over until the paving is put through on the street.
 A petition for the reduction of . building line on the west side Of Harvard street was returned to the

 The new code prescribes qualif-

 severe than those for pilots of goods

 All Of the licenses granted under
 the new regulations run for limited
 periods. a year being the longest as to both craft and pilots Violations of regulations can bring about
 suspensions or revocations of licenses for both craft and -len.
 Among the safety regulations is
 one forbidding any objects or ma terials to be dropped from craft in flight. except as a safeguard in times of stress. Another requires all planes for passenger carriage to be so con- structed that there are at least two exits from the passenger compart- ment
