Commissioners Veto
Of Keneipp Decision
On Permits Expected

The proposal to place revocation
of drivers permits under the juris-
diction of Traffic Director George
E. Keneipp apparently will be killed
by the Commissioners at an early
date.
The plan has the Commissioners
approval on the condition that all
department heads involved are will
ing. 1t is known, however, that
Mrs: Mary Silver, chairman of the
Board of Revocation and Restora-
ton of Drivers Permits, Is opposed
to the plan. The proposal would
remove from her board the power
to revoke permits, and make 1t only
an appeal board.
Barrett Reported Cool.
Police Chief Robert J. Barrett
also is reported cool toward the
plan.
Mr.. Keneipp suggested that his
department appoint hearing officers
to hear traffic violators and that
he make the final decision on
whether a permit be revoked. Mrs.
Silver's board would hear all ap-
peals from Mr.. Keneipp's decisions
under the proposal.
Mrs. Silver's board hears all cases
now and the Commissioners alone
have the power to reverse the boards
decisions.
Taxi Plan Also Offered.
The Keneipp plan would eliminate
the present setup where the same
board suspends the license and then
hears the appeal on the suspension.
A similar plan for taxicab drivers
proposed by Mr.. Keneipp would have
the Police Department ruling on the
suspension of hackers permits and
Mrs. Silver's board acting only ON
appeals.
Engineer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young forwarded the plan of Mr..
Keneipp to the Commissioners. Both
Commissioner John Russell Young
and Commissioner Guy Mason have
indicated they will be guided by the
opinions of the department heads
involved in making their decisions.

Miss Great Lakes won the heat
easily after La-Hala was forced out
with engine trouble in the seventh

The third heat, the only one that
gave any semblance OF race, saw
Miss Frostie first across the line on

lead, however, for Foster opened up
Miss Great Lakes during the third
three-mile lap and easily overlook
his lone rival. He held the lead
from the third lap through to the
end, finishing about half a mile
ahead of Miss Frostie.
The Judges announced that the
fastest lap in today's race was run
by Such Crust in the first heat
when she attained 6S463 miles an
hour, and that the fastest 30-mile
heat also was by Such Crust -
57452.
Speed Far Under Record.
Thus, the speed was considerably
under the record mark The lap
record is 77.911 miles an hour made
in detroit in 1946 by Dan Arena

heat record is 70.878 made by Guy
Lombardo with Tempo vi in the
same race.
With the exception of Tempo vi
so badly damaged that parts OF her
