Authorities.

New Haven, CT. Nov. 13.-For the
second time the city authorities have
used civil engineering students of the
Sheffield Scientific school at Yale in

The observers divided up 12-hour
tricks at street intersections with a
half-mile radius of City hall Figures
obtained, last week, have been ana
lyZed for comparison with those taxi
en-, n year ago. Vehicle traffic in
creased 20 per cent. and IL per cent. in
Approximately 90 per cent. is
motor propelled. Motor trucks increas-
ed Is per cent.
Based on these figures which are
carried out in detail the city's engi-

one in the closest touch with the
worlds greatest musical artists, but
he has succeeded in producing a real
ly wonderful organization. 1t is COM
posed of nine people, eight famous So
loists from leading metropolitan
churches. most of them having also
achieved fame in opera, and a great
pianist and musical director.

been printed concerning their work,

unusual concert is not only an occa-
sion of rare delight but real uplift.

flood of stirring melody which only
