Alex. Samuels Moves to Covent Garden Authority rHAIRMAN of the London and Home

Counties Traffic Advisory Committee since 1948, Mr. Alex Samuels has now resigned this post, and has been succeeded as chairman by the Mayor of Lambeth, Councillor A. C. Dennis, who has been a member of the committee for nearly 10 years and since 1949 has been a member of Lambeth's public services committee, which is responsible for highways.

Mr. Samuels, who has accepted the Minister of Transport's invitation to become his honorary adviser on London traffic management, told The Commercial Motor this week that the pressure of his work at the Ministry of Transport, and his recent acceptance of a position on the Covent Garden Authority (where he is the Minister's nominee) led him to decide that he could no longer give his duties as a Shoreditch Borough Conn

c24 cillor the attention they deserved. Since the Traffic Advisory Committee is composed of local authority representatives, his resignation from Shoreditch council leads automatically to his resignation from the Traffic Advisory Committee.

Mr. Samuels commented that although he will hold no special post in the new Covent Garden Authority, as the Minister of Transport's nominee and with considerable practical experience of dealing with London traffic problems, he hopes to be of greatest help to his colleagues in matters of transport and traffic.

In fact Mr. Samuels' inclusion in the membership of the Authority—which is intended to oversee the running of the market as well as the initial changes— will presumably satisfy those who have been pressing for transport representation there.
