The Traffic Report urges Southern Railway to adopt recommendations from the chamber of commerce including a passenger elevator, escalator, or ramp to street level with a preference for efficiency. It also calls for larger, better signs at the railroad station, warns on bus station visibility, and supports a central taxi station near main bus stops. Duke Power is praised for service, with a gentle pat to Mr. Davis.
