of State Hosa to assume that role.

bt the bus aad track laws is badly

"shrouded In obscurity" until op
erators are at a loss to understand
their intent and purpose,
Shelton, as representative of the

Hoss to call a conference In the
near future to consider the pro-
nosed recodification. Ho suageets
that such a conference be attended
lj representatives of the state
traffic department, the - public
err Ice commission, the attorney
general's office, members of the
legislature -who are especially In
terested in traffic problems and
by representatives ot bus and

cated that he would probably act
