A team of 39 men from the State Highway Department was conducting a "cordon count" in the area. Each motorist driving into the section past any one of 20 intersections was handed a card on which was to be noted the time and place of entry and later the time and place of exit from the general shopping district. It was part of a traffic survey initiated by the Department of Highways several weeks ago at the request of the City Department of Public Safety.
