All correspondence contained in the records is filed in the first three folders of Box 1, and the remainder of the materials are organized under subject headings. The correspondence, 1956-1961, contains letters that reached the hands of Albert H. Houghton, chairman, and some of his replies. Correspondence is chiefly with James P. Economos; various presidents of the American Bar Association, particularly David Maxwell; and companies helping to finance the Traffic Court Program. Much of it is of a routine nature, typical of the correspondence carried on among members of an organization's committees.
Of particular interest are the folders labeled “Committee reports of progress and activities, 1955-1961” in Folder 5 of Box 1 and Folder 1 of Box 2. The reports give a good overview of the purpose and activities of the Standing Committee on Traffic Court Program, and its relation to other organizations and to the American Bar Association.
Other materials in the records include agenda and minutes of meetings, financial reports, references to conferences, speeches on traffic problems by members of the Committee or its personnel, and studies made relating to traffic court problems.
