TLeHon.Mayor and gity Council,
Beaumont,Texas,
Gentlemen: -
BE AUPgONT, TEXAS, Nov .18, 1919.
We hand you herewith Ordinance prepared by this
Committee making a slight change in our present traffic
ordinance,which we believe will tend to relieve congested
conditions if lived up to.
We have in mind xx= a number of othw changes,
but think,at this time, it, is inadvisable to
pass an ordinance putting them into eff ect,as,unless they are
enforced,we-are just as well of without the-changes,and to
enforce them would mean more traffic officers.
The change suggested in the attached ordinance,
we believe,will meet.with universal approval &n the part of
automobile drivers,and,therefore,will require very little
effort on the part of traffic officers to have it enforced,
. -. Respectfully submitted
