VEHICULAR CONGESTION IN
PARIS GREATEST IN WORLD

Paris, Feb. 22.-The vehicular con
eestion on the streets of Paris is great
er than in any other city in the world
and In spite of the efforts of the mu-
nicipal authorities, no way has yet
been found To effect any permanent
Improvement i'm street conditions. The
problem is an ever-present one. and
1t grows worse every year, for Paris.
strangled by the stone belt of the now
useless fortifications, cannot expand.
bur must grow upward.
No such congestion of traffic exists
In New York, London, Chicago, Ber-
lin or Philadelphia. The municipality
has sent agents TO all these cities to
study traffic conditions, and TO count
the number of vehicles passing a point
ON an important street in each city,
between the hours of a. IN. and :
p. m. This comparison shows that
S3.323 vehicles passed down the Rue
de Rivoli in Paris; 16.20S were count
ed on the Strand. in London; 14.221 on
the Potsdamer Platz. Berlin: S.665 AT
Fifth avenue and Fifty eighth street.
New York: 6.l76 on Broad street.
Philadelphia; and 5,736 on Sheridan
road, Chicago
Add TO the large number for Paris
the fact that this city has some hilly
and many tortuous streets, il would
appear that the regulation of traffic In
Paris presents difficulties unknown
elsewhere. Eventually the congestion
will become so great that new streets
will have to be cut TO relieve 1t; that
seems to he the only solution.
