II t'j AIUAIM'A ItriUmUAIN A JN I * IN P,\V H. ATLANTA TRAFFIC f . "nie of the new traffic ordi- J(ince which will be presented to the , i ouncil Monday afternoon by a Joint nmittee of the Council and , e Chamber of Commerce has be came extremely uncertain on account cl a inited opposition to some of its matures by society women who drive automobiles. Many members of Council declared Monday that they were being- sub- 1, ,'ted to a pressure they were power- .jt S to resist, toughened as they are by t r many conflicting currents of po- . ■ - W* »men v ho dri\ e their own machines have been visit ing their offices and calling them by teiei'hon 0 to protest t/at the new law against parking automobiles iti downtown districts would abso- . ; o!> spoil their shopping T -f fight of the women ns gained impressive support in the persons of i ;r rarls of a number of big stores, one f i he arguments for the new tj V ej,- |;nv is that It would benefit i •• trade <»f departments stores by rieariug the entrances of parked au tomobiles awl make entrances easier. The attitude of some of the store heads that they are opposed to dis turbing the leisurely women shop- j,pps who drive their machines and >,rv them standing in the streets las given a number of members of Out il a bewildered feeling, espe- riallv since many of the women have railed in person and demanded pro- teciion. Public Hearing Likely. T>re seems to be little doubt that t . new law will be referred to a spe ll 1 c ommittee of Council for a pub- i;iring. Whether the provision pi tihiting the parking of machines in ajij one block for more than thirty minutes within limits in cluding the whole downtown shopping district will he stricken if a matter of doubt, hut the activities of the women practically assures the elimi nation of the feature making it il legal to leave a machine at all with out a chauffeur on Peachtree and Whitehall and several tributary streets. It looks as though any fea ture of the law tending to present serious interference with the shop ping of w omen is doomec^ During the meetings of the joint committee on traffic law revision of Council and the Chamber of Com merce it was generally considered that whatever laws proposed would be passed by Council and signed by Mayor Woodward. The lament of doctors and business men who arc- in the habit of coming downtown in their machines early in the morning and leaving them standing in front of their places of business all day seemed vain. It was proved that their personal interests conflict so sharply with the general public good that they must be legislated against and ordered to move their cars off the principal streets. Women’s Work Fruitful. The action of the women is a godsend to this class of men. Their complaints have caught the ear of Council in a way that the business men could never hope to do. Some traffic law revision is bound to come from the recommendations of the Council and Chamber of Com merce committee. Councilman Albert Thomson, who is leading the opposi tion. and has announced that he would make a motion to refer the whole matter to a Council committee for a public hearing, said that much more rigid traffic laws were needed. But it seems Monday that the whole matter :s to be reviewed again; and it is certain that pains will he taken not to interfere with the convenience of the women.
