Abstract :
The report of the Council´s Committee on Street Traffic Signs, Signals, and Markings is now off the press and is causing widespread interest and favorable comment. Many requests for copies are being received by L. W. Wallace, Executive Secretary. It is the ambition of the committee to have its recommendations carefully considered and adopted as a part of all national municipalities and in order to accomplish this the suggestions are made (a) that in each locality where there is a local engineering section, the president be supplied with a copy of the report with a recommendation that he in turn, through a local committee of his own, disseminate the information contained in the report; in communities where there is no local society, the local section of the national society would exercise this same method of information; in municipalities where there is neither local society nor local section, that there be an endeavor to organize a local section through some local engineer or civic organization. The Council offers to supply such local committee with a necessary number of reports and such other guidance as is required. It would appear that now, when traffic matters are so ultra important every community would benefit greatly by organizing to avail itself of this offer of the Council.
