The pioneer Arizonnn must rub
his eyes when he Witnesses what

I generally believe
Tucson has solved the railroad
grade crossing that Is Dotherlng El
Paso. but they had a situation that
made It easier. Along the full length
OF the tracks IN the city there eN-
tends a park. for some width on each
side 1t was not hard therefore, TO
build subWays beneath the tracks and
send the traffic under the tracks in
stead Of across them The subWays
come up to level ground by the time
they reach private property on either
side. The park was the solution
These subWays are paved and lighted
by electricity, with a sidewalk on
either side for pedestrians and are
artistic as vel as useful
one Of the things that one likes
Tucson for is the fact that Il is keep
ing its distinctive Mission architec-
ture TO the fore Both its depots are
Of Mission design, also many OF its
public buildings and scores and scores I
