hope that some specific uniform Tea
lures could be selected as desirable and
definite recommendations made at the
coming session of the General As
sembly.
Those who attended yesterdays ses-
sion included State Senator Lansdale
G.. Sasscer, Col. A. B. Barber and H.
NJ. Lucius, who were appointed by the
Governor in accordance with an act
passed by the 1929 Assembly TO study
the advisability Of revising the State
traffic code.
This committee was assisted by Col
