Chief traffic officers of Los Angeles city and Santa Monica were enrolled as members of the committee and 114 officers were used in addition to 1500 temporary direction signs. It is believed that making this committee a permanent institution will do much toward solving the more intricate traffic problems that are presented in this section from time to time. The advisability of such a committee is suggested by the fact that there is one automobile fr every three persons in this part of California, making it the most thickly populated motor car district in the world. REDUCING THE ARMY Because the appropriation for payment of the Army for the fiscal year 1925 is insufficient to maintain the present authorized peace establishment another reduction of the already low strength of the army has been ordered which will lower the authorized enlisted strength of the army from 125,000 men to 118,750. In the Ninth Corps Area, only 89.37 per cent of the authorized peace strength will be maintained. This will reduce the number of troops in this Corps Area to 11,762. The reduction will be accomplished by the discharge of soldiers at the expiration of their enlistments and for the convenience of the government. Among those organizations which will suffer a reduction under this order are the 30th Infantry and the Coast Defenses of San Francisco, San Diego Puget Sound, Los Angeles and the Columbia. Other posts will also be affected. The District of Washington, the September, 1924, all the right title, and interest of the said Martha A.

AUTOMOBILE NOTES Opportunity for the motorists and public of Los Angeles County to eliminate the most dangerous of the existing grade crossings will be offered at the election, November 4th. At this time, voters will be called on to pass on a bond issue for five million dollars to provide the county with funds to do its share in abolishing grade intersections which are a continuous menace to human life, and which every year gather a greater harvest of death. The first definite step toward making these death traps safe was taken by the Board of Supervisors recently when a resolution was passed submitting the proposition to the voters. Safety organizations, communities, and the Automobile Club of Southern California have been urging for years that something be done to prevent the abrupt toll of lives and injuries. Figures so far indicate that in 1924 there will be double the number of lives sacrificed and persons injured at grade crossings than there were in 1923. Up to May 31, in the United States, there were 789 persons killed and 2,300 injured, which is more than the entire number for 1923. It is understood that the railways are willing to proceed with abolishing grade crossings so soon as the county will bear its share of the expense. Railways are expected to pay more than half the cost, and the community most benefited by the eliminations also will pay a part. A two thirds affirmative vote is required for passing of this bond issue which will result in the releasing of other millions of dollars, for this measure so that a start may be made in the southland toward making this Corps Area to 11,762. The reduction will be accomplished by the discharge of soldiers at the expiration of their enlistments and for the convenience of the government. Among those organizations which will suffer a reduction under this order are the 30th Infantry and the Coast Defenses of San Francisco, San Diego Puget Sound, Los Angeles and the Columbia. Other posts will also be affected. The District of Washington, the army service schools, the Detached Enlisted Men's list, the recruiting service and the United States Military Academy detachment are the only one which will be maintained at full authorized peace strength. The National Defense Act of June 4, 1920, authorized an enlisted strength of 280,000 men for the regular army.
