af F a -------- November 24, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 45 Regional Planners Seek Uniformity in Traffic Ordinances Every mayor or president of the 280 municipalities within fifty miles of Chicago has been asked by the Chicago Regional Planning association to con- sider revising the traffic ordinance of his community to conform to the Model Municipal Traffic ordinance just completed by the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety. "With a different traffic ordinance on the books of every town," says H. R. Olson, highway engineer for the association, "a driver cannot hope to become even remotely acquainted with them all. "Uniformity in general provisions of traffic ordinances throughout the whole country is desirable, but more especi- ally in the Chicago region where, for instance, a motorist drives through fifteen separate municipalities in going from Chicago by the way of Washing- torn boulevard to Geneva thirty miles west of the city. "To bring a local ordinance up to date is easy with the model devised by the national conference which was called by the now president-elect Herbert Hoover who was then Secre- tary of Commerce. Plenty of direc- tions, explanations and reasons why. accompany each section, and blank spaces are indicated for inserting local titles, restrictions and special regula- tions. Copies of this model have been furnished to the mayor or president and to the engineers of each city or village in the region either by the Automobile Club of Illinois or the Chicago Regiona! Planning associa- tion. . "The new traffic ordinance recently passed by the City of Chicago con- forms to the general provisions of the model. It is now up to local officials and citizens of each community in the. Chicago region to make their own ordinance uniform with this national standard." READS BEFORE MINISTERS Dr. Horace G. Smith, pastor of the Wilmette Parish Methodist church, read a paper on the "Art of Biogra- phy," last Monday, before the gradu- ating club of ministers of the Rock River Conference in Chicago. The paper dealt with the tendencies in the field of biography as shown by the work of Bradford in America and Strachey in England. IN UNIVERSITY BAND Robert Harper, son of Supt. J. R. Harper, of the Wilmette Public schools, visited his parents in Wilmette Satur- day and Sunday. Robert is a fresh- man at the University of Illinois and plays in the university band. He came from Urbana for the Illinois-Chicago game at Stagg field Saturday.
