LACK OF PAVING
CAUSES MUCH OF
FREIGHT DELAYS
Small Number of Streets Tap
ping Belt Line Can Be
Used for Trucking
RESULT is, DELIVERY
OF CARS is HELD UP
Scarcity CT Team Tracks Is An
other Prolific Source of
Congestion

One reason for freight delays IN
Detroit, according to Frederick T. Bar.
croft, architect, engineer and member
OF the city plan and Improvement CON-
mission, 10 the city's neglect to pro-
vide pavements on many streets which
give access to the Belt line.
1T Is almost impossible N soft
weather., says Mr.. Bancroft, "for
teams to approach cars at many
points on the Belt line, because there
are so few streets which can be used
for heavy hauling"
A glance at a map Of Detroit shows
the effectiveness OF Mr.. Bancroft
criticism. In the western part Of the
city there Is not a single paved street
touching the Michigan Central. Lake
Shore and Grand Trunk tracks from
Dix-ave. to Forrest, distance Of about
two miles. On the east side conditions
along the Belt line are as bad, II not
worse.
The Belt line runs north between
Beaufait and Bellevue-aves. Bellevue
has been paved as far as the Boule-
ward, but there are many streets west
from Bellevue to the Belt line which

stretches of territory through which
no streets have been cut. and where
access to the tracks Is impossible.
Thus there are no streets from
Bellevue to the railroad, between JET
ferson-ave. and Champlain-st., dis
lance equivalent to four city blocks.
The next street Is st. Paulave., three
blocks away. Then there Is space
OF two blocks before Kercheval-ave. is
reached. II Is two blocks more to Wa
terloo-st and three blocks farther to
Charlevolx-ave., which is unpayed and
cannot be used for trucking except in
dry weather. The next block is Ber-
Inst, from which thoroughfare II Is
four blocks to Mack-ave. Pulford-ave.
and Sylvester-st. come In the right
place; then 1t Is three blocks to Ora
tiot-ave. Forest-aye., the next street,
is unpaved. The next paved street Is
Warren-ave., two blocks above. Then
there is not q paved street for seven
blocks until the Boulevard Is reached ;
and all the cross streets are badly
rutted and cannot be used for hauling
except under the most favorable
weather conditions.

more than average length, there are
only IL streets that can be used ior
trucking. There are but II points al
which the eastern arm Of the Belt liae
can be tapped by teams.
The result Is, delay In delivery OF
cars TO points where they can be I'M
loaded, because only very small
number of cars can be unloaded at
one time. This is waste for the rail-
road, which finds its rolling stock
tied UP and It's tracks so congested

weeks In both ways II Is waste Tor
the city at large. because business is
held up.
Even II streets we're opened and
pavements laid, there would still be a
need OF team tracks. IL Is said. how
ever, that the Michigan Central is pre-.
pairing to meet this problem along the
Belt line.

uation at oregon. He said: I'm my
twenty years of experience as train
er and physical director in colleges,
l have never known an institution in
which interest in gymnasium work
and in athletic games was as wide
spread throughout the student body
as at the University of Oregon. Prac-
tically all the students take part in
the inter-class, inter-club or inter-
gymnasium class games. 1t is due to
this general interest, greatly, that the
University of Oregon has been able
to break even in the divisions of ath-
letic championships with the Univer-
sity of Washington, which has two
OFF three times as many students.
Last year, Oregon won the tennis
and track championships of the
Northwest, while Washington nosed
her out of first place in baseball,
basketball and football.
"The same student backing which
the athletic teams receive is afforded
the college debaters and orators. Or
egon has won a very enviable record
in oratory and debate-last year win
ming the Pacific coast championship
in debate and the northwest cham
pionship in oratory."
