Ooddard und 1. J. Parker, local manager of the Ameri can Kxpresa company, met with the directors and told them that aomo- thlng should be done. The mayor'a position . was that whatever bualnoaa men decreed, In regard lo traffic regulation, ahould ho done, aa long ns the measures to ward traffic control were feasible nd law abiding.

Parker told tho dlroctors hat unlesa the measures wore taken to facilitate traffic movement ana o allow more parking apace on Main troct, that tho time would eoon ocme when tho American r.xprcsa contpany would bo forced to auapevJ deliveries. The general sense of the meeting was that aomethlng ahould bo done. Rather than bavo tho movement for better traffic regulations emanate from tho chamber of commerce only, it was decided to call a meeting of bua'neas men and tho general pub lic that would bo affected by tbo chargo arrl take tho matter up In a business like manner.

Director In Favor Many phases of tho auto traffic situation were discussed informally by th directors and all stood un animously in favor of sponsoring some movement that would relieve poor traffic conditions. Inasmuch ns the movement for the building of a golf course seem ed a more or lcsa private enterprise. it was 'Jecided that the chamber of commerce ahould not become active ly connected with tho matter. "It would bo different If It were municipal golf course," W. O, Smith pointed out. "Uosldes we have enough projects on hand al ready."
