TO RE-WORD TRAFFIC TAW Council Proposes New Draft of Or dinance; Sani Provisions. Provisions of the traffic ordinance are to be re-worded to make them mors easily understood, under amendments to the ordinance offered the city coun cil by Mayor Albee this morning.

The amendment Is to read that no vehicle is to pass either to the right or left of streetcars stopped for pas sengers within th restricted district and the bridges, but outside of thla district vehicle may pass to the left of streetcars so stopped. The council decided to hold the amendments in abeyance until it waa seen if further questions arose. If no further questions arise within the next few days, the amendments are to be made.
