be effected. Every one knows that London
is full of narrow street corners where the
buildings, erected years before tile modern
orowding, project into the street, leaving
often barely room between the wall and
wheels for the walking or waiting crowd.
All these corners where traffic is large
and constant should be widened, so that
both pedestrians and vehicles may have
more space. We neither can nor desire TO
"Haussmannise" London, but we may
poipt out that the most dangerous cross
ings in Haussmannised Paris are those In
which narrow streets debouch into widc
spaces, as is the case at the back and sides
Of the opera house. What we plead for Is
lat the least expense) the breaking of the
neck Of the bottle in all districts where
that neck is congested with traffic. Another
streetfeform needed is the regulation OF
the pace of all vehicles In important and
crowded streets. That pace should be
uniform--say, four miles an hour. At
present every crowded thoroughfare
offers the spectacle Of every size and
kind of vehicle going much as it pleases,
one crawling at snail's pace, another
dashing along only less fast than the
| fire engine; the whole a medley, q chaos.
The traffic should, as far as possible, be
in line, and conform to one general pace,
with On increase of the number Of those
islands of refuge which are already SO
general. A third element of reform lies
in the spread of electric cars, which
occupy such smaller space than the
horse-drawn carriage, and which also
mean much cleaner streets. In time, as
the science OF electric storage grows, the
old "four-wheeler" will be probably re.
placed by the electric cab, whose fare will
naturally become cheaper every year
We repeat that the congestion Of London
cannot be warred out of existence because
1t is the result of process which Nigh
in q general way be termed inevitable
But science can probably deal with i
ultimately, and meanwhile certain com
nonsense arrangements such MS we hav'
suggested can be carried out with view
to the alleyiation OF existing conditions.
