UNDERGROUND GARAGES
FOR DOWNTOWN AREAS
Cincinnati Has Solved Problem Of
Caring for Automobiles in
Congested Districts.

An unusual detail for two large prof.
ects for downtown construction in Min
neapolis, announced this week., is an
underground garage. For both of the
large structures designated for physi-
clans Offices the promoters promise
that garage accommodations will be
provided in the basement. says the
Improvement Bulletin. Thus apears in
our midst one of the developments OF
construction caused by the automobile
and the ever increasing demand Tor
parking space downtown.
In Cincinnati preparations are being
made for a large parking space under
one of the main streets in the shopping
center for several blocks; and under
Fountain and Government squares.
Space for 500 machines will thus be
provided.
The privileges for parking are d.
vided into four periods of six hours
each. namely, from am. to l pm,
pm. to pm, pm. to 1 am, and
am. to am, a popular fee to be
charged for each period.
Two methods of financing have been
considered, one which is for the city to
amount collected yearly from renting
space. it is stated, would be larger than
the combined interest on the bonds,
cost of operation. and maintenance.
The project it is expected. would pay
for itself in a period of years. Should
the city not desire to undertake the
proposition, a franchise could be grant
ed to corporation. which now has the
project under consideration. and oper-
ate it under the control of the city.
The parking space is arranged that
all machines stand at an angle of 80
degrees to the roadway, thereby avoid
ing all dangerous turning and expedit-
ing the getting in and out. Each space
is provided with a gate opening onto
the footway leading directly to the
street above. No pedestrians will be
allowed on the exit or entrance road
WAYS.
Modern ventilating and drainage sys-
tens, automatic fire curtains between
each space. a compressed air system
with an outlet at each space will be
the paramount features of these sani-
tary and fireproof accommodations.
Fire extinguishers will be provided for.
in case of emergency. The Garfield
and Courthouse square parking units
are to be provided with public comfort
stations. Present street surfaces will
remain as they are, excepting entrance
and exit inclines at each end and the
kiosks at the head of the stairs leading
to the footways.

John Jones. who drives a smart look
ing little racing automobile, was doing
a bit of shopping one day last week.
and left his car near the front door OF
large department store.
When he emerged from the store he
saw a large. square-toed and blue-coat-

then John Jones realized that he had

That is a violation of the law. as 1t in

One of his stories is being told and
retold this week, and without attempt
ing to quote the exact words of " X.
Wellington Koo. l will outline the yarn:
1t seems that in 1882 this government
sent a sturdy old salt named Roberts
(admiral or commodore, l know not
which) to China, to endeavor to wake
up a few trade and diplomatic relations.
Upon reaching Canton, Roberts sent
word to the viceroy that he wished to
have an audience with him. He sent
the request in Chinese, and received the
reply that the viceroy, who was the
grandchild of the moon and relative TO
most of the stars, planets and lot of
the hidden forces of nature, would have
nothing to do with this stranger.
And why not2" beloved Roberts to
the Chinese translator.
Because your titles are only two
inches long and the viceroy's titles are
q foot. at least"
Well. now. A little thing like that
was not disturbing to Roberts. He
called for a Chinese pencil and a lot of
Chinese paper-red and crackly, like
laundry checks-and began to dictate
his real titles to the translator.
He began with his name. then added
the United States of America. and then
enumerated the various states and ter
ritories, and by the time all the avail
able paper had been used, there were
still a few localities missing. Had he
been given a few more sheets he would
have put in the boundaries of the coun-
try. and the principal lakes and rivers
and mountains. But this would have
been superhuous. When the viceroy
received and read this revised calling
card he uttered a low moan, command
ed that the finest incense should be
burned, all the rice wine in Canton
brought up for the purposes of the
American crew, and laid a silk carpet
from the dock to the palace, lest this
giant possessor of titles should stub his
august toe on Canton cobblestone.

the reported order is nothing more
than what is already in effect here

required for years when necessary.

are required to be examined thorough
ly.

to afflict others. If the doctor thinks
there is any doubt about their physi-
cal condition they must remove their
clothes while a thorough examination
is given. No aliens not fit to enter
