suited In q set of regulations in which
ambiguity of wording and often in
tent are frequent.
The proposed revision, 1t Is said,
represents q, careful consideration
Of the Districts dual government
functions as city and state, its high
way plan and geographical location
and q careful research and checking.
The committee which has been work
ing on the revision for the past two
years say the new regulations will
be In the interests Of highway de-
velopment and safety.
The committee which has been
working on the revision Is composed
of: Nathan M. Lubar, attorney,
chairman; Traffic Director George
e. Keneipp, Wallace L. Braun, deputy
director; Inspector Arthur E. Miller,
commanding the police traffic divi-
sion; Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert D. Wise, and M. o. Eldridge,
