A new street would branch out
from the center OF the city and run

NEW STREETS PROPOSED
Beauty Board" Meets This Aft
ernoon To Discuss Matter
With Expert

"The plans would make very
beautiful city and no doubt are orac-
ticable, but IL is a question OF how
much Detroit wants TO spend for
such a purpose" said Mayor Thomp-
SOU In examining the plans for a
greater Detroit as prepared by Il. III.
Bennett, of Chicago, Thursday after
noon.
Mr.. Bennett has looked far into
the future, taken the present general
layout OF the city as "A basis and pro-
poses TO extend the main thorough
fares, create others, provide for a
civic center, numerous parks. and
beauty spots and the Improvement OF
the water front Mr.. Bennett has pre-
pared score or more OF plans, any
one OF which would require millions
OF dollars for the city TO follow out.
Members of the City Plan and In
prbvement commission were enthusi-
astic over the plans as exhibited,
Thursday afternoon, by Mr.. Benpetr
In. the city hall Mayor Thompson
also found much to tdnire I'm them,
but he struck a note of economy in
raising the question OF whether the
people want to build on such an am
bilious scale, cutting miles Of new
streets through the center. eastern
and western portions OF the city.
THE engineer who laid out Ne
troit originally certainly knew his
business, ;, said MIR. Rennett 10 tho
mayor. 1.-The arrangement lends it
self splendidly to the plan of extern
sion and improvement"
The commission is far from de-
Gliding on any definite plan, Mr. Ben
nett merely outlining his suggestions
TO the members, the mayor and Com
missioner Hurlbut. of the park de-
partment A meeting will be held at
O'clock Friday afternoon. and The
heads OF the various city departments
as well as General Manager Brooks,
OF the ID. ". r., are asked TO be pres
ent to discuss the plans with Mr.. Ben
nett. The latter's suggestions are
sought In considering the plan from
the standpoint OF street car trarric
and a new scheme of rerouting which
may be required.
THE present street car congestion
might be relieved by the system they

THOMPSON. There the lines run di-
directly north and south and east and
west. All the cars don't come to a
common center. One must transfer. -
1T is only natural that in this
city, where the main streets come to
one center, that the street cars are
congested at that point, said Mr.
Bennett.
The plan of the Chicago engineer
in this respect is TO divert traffic of
Woodward-aye. to parallel streets
from about Brainard south. In The
future, when Detroit mas attained a
population of a million and half.

miles of the sinking liner and to have
disregarded signals for help, Captain
Lord denied positively.
II figure that we were from II TO
10 miles distant from the Titanic that
night" he said. About 1880 we
steamed into an immense icefield
and immediately our engines were
shut down to wait for daylight. With
the engines stopped, the wireless was
of course not working, so we heard
nothing of the Titanic's plight until
the next morning. Then came the
