|Noiarizing Of Drivers
Permit Statements
Held SuperfIuous

The new District regulation re-
quiring notarization Of statements
on applications for drivers permits
was called superfiuous by the Key
stone Automobile Clubs Advisory
Board, because Misrepresentation
already are punishable by law. The
board met in the Shoreham Hotel
last night.
The application form contains the
warning. False answer to any Of
the above questions will make ap-
plicant liable to revocation of permit
for Misrepresentation" 1t was
pointed out by Ernest r. Brett, Sec
retary.
Although members said they re-
garded the appearance Of prospec-
tive drivers before a notary public
as unnecessary, no formal action
was taken on the matter, pending
consultation with George e.
Keneipp. director Of vehicles and
traffic.
Plan to Hear Keneipp.
Mr.. Keneipp, whose attendance at
q San Francisco traffic conference
prevented him from appearing at
last nights keystone meeting, will
be invited to give his views on the
application form and other traffic
problems at the groups next meet
Ing January 81.
In his absence, Wallace L. Braun.
newly appointed deputy director of
vehicle and traffic, outlined the de-
|partment's preparations for trafic
Improvement, as recommended in
Engineer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young's six-year expansion program
for the District.
He pointed out the local traf1ic
pattern has changed considerably
since traffic lights were first installed
here, and said the department was
studying moves to speed the flow
Of vehicles.
OF Al signals, the use Of which
was discontinued during the war,
because Of the reduced number of
cars on the streets, ~ are still out.
he said. A considerable number of
these, he indicated, are regarded as
no longer necessary, but some must
be replaced. Eventually, he said, the
department hopes to provide eight
signals at each intersection where
lights are used, SO drivers and pe-
destrians can see the signal plainly
at any angle of approach.
More Meters Considered.
Other problems, he said, were the
elimination Of cheap metal signals
erected during the war, reduction
Of unnecessary or confusing signs
and provision Of additional parking
meters.
He said a study was being made
OF the possibility of reducing the
80-second cycle for signal changes
which prevails in the downtown sec
ton. Although some reduction might
speed the flow of traffic, he said,
sufficient time must be allowed for
pedestrians to cross In each direc-
ton.
The board extended its congratu-
lations to William D. Heath on his
recent appointment as planning en-
gineer for the Department of We
hicles and Traffic.
