DISCUSS PLAN TO RELIEVE
OVERCROWDED STREETS.

SPECIAL BY TO THE NEW YORK
ERALD AND THE ST. LOUIS
London. Feb. 6.-(Copyright. 19o4)-How
to relieve I-ordon's congested streets is a
problem the authorities long have tried to
solve. Some novel proposals were made
to deal with the difficulty when the Lon
don Traffic Commission met this week.
h only way to solve it. said Mr..
Charles Scott Meik. is by making new
roads. Two great %arterfal t~horOughfares.
running. respectively. from north to south
and east to west. are of the first i'm
portance. They should pass as closely as
possible to the large railway terminals
and other congested centers. Special pro-
vision should be made for through traffic
and automobiles.
JT. Meik suggested the double-deckeG
construction of roads. the upper deck be-
inE reserved for fast vehicles. including
auto mobiles. and the lower for slower and
heavier traffic. To reach the npper deck
certain secondary streets should be con-
nected with it. The double-decked road
should he within the four-mile radius.
4 suspended railway running along the
new th~oroughfares was proposed. the cost
to be SIS, 900 the mile, whereas shallow
underground railways cost f250. 900 per mile
and tubes f300. 600 to the mile. The total
cost of the two main avenues was esti-
mated by MIR. Meik at I'll. 1S6, 900. but re-
EQUIPMENT from the sale of surplus lands
would bring the net cost down to f2l,3l1. 900.
He estimated the net yearly revenues
from rail and tram ways at II. 62f. $50.

The manner in which Mr.. Tebb's associ-

by the institution of a public mortuarie,
where bodies can remain until the fact
OF death is put beyond the possibility of
doubt.
Another practical remedy suggested
