Witb the ever-Increasing number cf motor vehicles upon tbe streets and highways and tbe seeming disre¬ gard, either through ignorance or carelessness, of the traffic laws of the State and the Ordinances of the City, it has been felt for some time that an organization ahould be form¬ ed, and a campaign of education should be Instituted, both among au- .„..^„ „„„ ^.»„o=" '-" ••"" *'"'"°"-"""; jtomoblle drivers and pedestrians, to
