ters Quick Protest

London, March l0.-Premier Asquitli
yesterday laid before the house OF com
mons his proposed concessions to Ulster
in regard to its position under the home
rule bill
The announcement, which had been
so long and anxiously awaited, was to
the effect that before the bill became
operative a poll SHOULD be taken of the
parliamentary electors OF each county
to decide whether there should be an ex.
cIusion OF the Ulster counties from the
provisions OF the bill for period Of
six years from the first meeting of tie
new Irish parliament.
If the majority Of the voters was in
favor of the scheme the county would
automatically be excluded from the pre-
scribed period.
Before an attendance even bigger
than that which listened to the intro
duction of the Irish home rule bill, Pre-
mier Asquith began his statement short
~ before 4 o'clock lie prefaced his
speech with the declaration that the
government made these suggestions
yesterday not because it was running
away from the original bin, but merely
to allow the bin to start with the great
est prospect OF success.
While there was possibility of acute
dissatisfaction and civil strife in Ulster,
said the premier, yet, il the bill should
be shipwrecked or postponed, the out
look was equally formidable.

did not commend itself either TO the Ma

Summarized the compromise offered
by Premier Asquith is that the four
Protestant counties in the province Of
Ulster, namely Antrim, Armagh, Lon
donderry and Down, shall retain for six
years their old standing in the United

ner such natural obstacles.
One of the best methods Of laying
out a city, as has been pointed out, Is
that of radial streets leading to the
principal center, with qcircumferential
concretic streets, but sufficient variety
must enter into such layout to obvi-
ate its faults.
The principal stream of passenger
traffic during the day is between the
better residential districts and the CIV
1c and Office building districts. between
the home of workmen and factory dis
tricts, between both the residential
districts and homes Of workmen and
the retail districts and in the evening
between the various residential dis
tricts and the places Of amusement
and recreation.
Radial avenues leading thus to the

destrian traffic during the day, while
at night the amusement center is Ordi-
narily reached the same way. since 1t
is usually found between the retail and
the residential districts.
There Is no great need for important
streets between the various residential
districts Of city, as the traffic be-
tween them is light. Through such
districts, however. a driveway or bou-
levard may be run. A pleasing drive
is thus afforded. which adds greatly
to the attractiveness Of the city.
In order to afford ample facilities for
traffic and at the same time to avoid
unnecessary outlays streets in varying
widths should be provided. 1t will
usually be found that streets of three
different widths will suffice for practi-
'cally all purposes-that is to say. main
thoroughfares. secondary thorough
fares and local streets.
As rule. it Is better to err on the
side Of having streets too wide than
too narrow. \ city Shunld have as a
minimum 10 per cent Of its area de-
voted to streets. while 10 per cent is
far better allowance. The streets of
the city Of Washington. which are IN
usually wide and imposing. occupy 81
per cent of the city's total area.
A Prussian law of 1873. enacted to
cover the streets Of Berlin. prescribed
that the main streets should be 95 feet
or more in width. secondary thorough
fares from 65 to 80 feet and the local
streets from 10 to 65 feet. Another
standard for secondary German cities.
such as Dusseldorf. Cologne and
Frankfort. ETC.. is: Main thorough
fares IS to 12O feet. secondary thor
oughfares 30 to 80 feet, and local
streets IS to 48 feet.

lBy Frank Koester. author Of ''City Plan

In considering the various problems
of traffic to be solved the principles
J. of city planning should guide the
work. The purpose of the city should
. be kept in view and carried out in the
best possible manner.
A city is in reality kind of appara-
tus or mechanism consisting of fixed
places in which to live, work and be
amused, with means Of access thereto
and means Of transportation of prod
ucts to and from desired points.
In city the arrangement Of high,
ways must be such that the citizens
who traverse them In great numbers
may be enabled to reach their destina.
tons with the greatest possible dis
patch, for large part of the time of
the public is consumed in merely going
from place to place. The daily move
ments of the population should thus be
studied with the utmost thoroughness
and the streets laid out so that access
to the different parts of the city may
be had from all the other parts In the
most direct manner possible.
A question Of great importance to
the civic engineer in the laying. out of
such plan Is that Of grades, as many
cities are built on hills Of greater or
less height and the arrangement of
