Speed Limit OF 5OMiles An
Hour Is Proposed In Conn.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 8-(UP)-A
speed limit of SO miles an hour, and
perhaps not more than As miles an
hour, on all Connecticut highways
was recommended by Governor Will
bur l.. Cross today by his special
street and highway safety commits
sion. The commission approved a
speed limit, any speed In excess OF
which would constitute prima facie
evidence that the speed Is unreaSon-
able; that IN no event should the
limit exceed SO miles an hour and
careful consideration should be
given TO fixing the limit at 45 miles
an hour" In addition, the commits
sion urged further study of highway
safety engineering, modern facilities
for highway lighting, methods OF
motor vehicle examination and the
drunken driver menace.
Regarding the speed limit, the
commission reported that, according
to a recent survey the average speed
of automobiles on Connecticut high
ways was $50 miles an hour. A
QUESTIONABLE distributed by the
commission showed a great majority
of drivers favored a speed limit o.
As miles an hour or less. 1.-THE COM
mission is impressed" the repor
continued, "by the speed zoning plar
In relation to Its effect on accidents
and their seriousness and believes
that such zoning should be contin
ued and extended TO all state ait
roads and bridges"

MIAMI SALESMAN,
WAITRESS DROWN

Miami Beach, Fla, Feb. 8.-.(UP)
"A chance acquaintance Is bar
followed by a moonlight swim In the
ocean was ended today In the
drowning of q Miami salesman and
waitress.
The bodies of James U. Grant, "a,
and his blonde companion, Sally
OHanlon, rs, of Dorchester, Mass,
were found nude In the surf. County
Physician E. G. Thomas said both
deaths we're caused by drowning.
The story of how the two men
in bar was told police by Mae
MCKINLEY, a waitress. She said she
and Miss O'Hanlon stopped OF have
q drink after work. Grant, she said
started conversation with them
Later Miss MCKINLEY left the party
A few hours afterward the bodies
were discovered In the surf. Empty
liquor bottles and their clothing
were found nearby. Grants body
was identified by his wife, Mrs
Julia H. Grant.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-08

The commission suggested: "The
interest of safety would be served by
authorizing the commission, If con-
tinued, or some special committee
to be appointed, to cooperate With
the highway department In making
thorough study of the highway
system of the state during the en-
suing two years. While the commits
sion fully realizes the tremendous
difficulties which confront the state
In securing universal lighting of
highways" the report continued, "it
suggests that the state traffic COM
minssion and highway department
continue the Investigations being
conducted into the efficiency Of mod
ern highway lighting systems and
that, as fast as possible. dangerous
intersections be lighted with ap-
proved types"
AS far compulsory inspection OF
cars, there Is indication already
that the good accomplished for
safety far outweighs any inconven-
fence which may be caused the own
ers."
Regarding drunken driving. the
commission urged IAN immediate
study be made to determine whether
1t should not be provided in the Law
that the operation Of q motor vehicle
within q certain time after thu
driver has INDUCED In Intoxicating
liquors, shall be deemed prima faci'
evidence that he was operating un'
der the influence OF liquor"

of Highway Dept.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 8.-CUP).-
Consolidation Of every public works
agency in tie state government, ex-
cept the highway department, into

was recommended to the General
Assembly today by the state reor-
ganization commission.
The new department, under the

ed by the governor with consent Of
the senate.
1.-THE substantial amount Of state
money" the commission said,
(which is spent over any period Of
years for the acquisition Of land
and the construction of state build
ings and structures amply warrants
the creation of whatever machinery
is required to assure the efficient
and economical expenditures of
these sums"
Recommendation
1'nS commission recommended:
l-Continuation Of the state wa
ter commission as a division Of the
department of public works.
