Pavement, "All Shot to Pieces"

WATER IN THE HOLES
SPLASHES RIDERS
Street Patched and Repatched
Until 1t Resembles Crazy
Quilt Design

Between Jefferson-ave. and Palmer
Park. Woodward-ave. Is one OF the
smoothest paved streets in the world
except at one spot, block in extent,
where it has more bumps than most
streets have in mile. Under the
Michigan Central tracks, between Bal
timore and Piquette-aves., at what is
ordinarily known as the subway
there is a true valley OF despair" for
automobilists.
The sharp declivity caused by pass
ing the street under the railway is
paved with brick instead OF asphalt
like the rest OF the street, and II has
been patched and repatche. until II Is
now sort OF crazy quilt design with
no resemblance to pavement.
During the rush periods Of the day
from 900 to 200 automobiles go
through this valley every hour. The
stcepness of the incline makes II nec-
essary TO put on extra speed for the
upgrade. and the motorists fly through
as well as they can, hitting the high
spots and being jolted unmercifully,
to say nothing of damage to machines.
There Is usually water standing few
inches deep in some Of the holes and
that adds to the excitement by splash
ing the occupants Of every auto.

Are some of the old advocates or

Yes, a SCHEME, which, for several
