THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Edmund ID. Hubert, president of the
Merchants Loan, Illinois group Of
banks, who is considered one of the
city's most conservative bankers,
said:
Il feel that possibly the worst is
over. Liquidation has been going on
for some time. | feel there is moth
ing in the situation to be disturbed.
about and that conditions, generally,
have a better undertone."
That the period of REIMBURSEMENT
is nearly over and that trade again
will start an upward trend was the
statement of James b. Forgan, chair
man of the board of the First National
Bank, who returned from the East.
''In few months readjustment will
be complete and business activities
will be on the upward trend again."
Mr.. Forgan said. my judgment is
that within four months or so we
should see turn for the better We
are passing through a trying period,
owing to readjustment in prices and
losses caused by the reduction in
value of stocks of goods on hand"

THE LOOP TRAFFIC PROBLEM.

The movement to clear the LOOP of
all vehicles during business hours is
gaining ground
According to figures submitted to
the committee by r. F. Kelker, Jr..
the city's traction expert, more than
$4,000 commercial automobiles and
horse drawn vehicles pass through the
loop daily in addition to AZ 900 pleas
IRE cars. The parking of cars along
loop streets adds to this congestion.
making the streets almost impossible.
Mr.. Kelker's figures also show that
between $3.50 and 1870 a. m. there
are $500 horse drawn vehicles and
$500 motor vehicles used for COM
mercial purposes, leaving the loop.
From 1870 to $50 p. m. there are
6,2S6 horse drawn vehicles and 1915
motor drawn vehicles, a grand total
Of 26,405.
Mr.. Kelker further reports there are
100000 passenger cars in the city
and 10000 of these enter the loop
daily and their progress is rendered
slow and hazardous by the presence
of the 1000 parked cars. The car
owners who use the streets for park
ing purposes evade the present park
ing regulations by moving their car
every half hour
Mr.. Kelker estimates that street
cars through the loop during rush
hours are delayed eight minutes by
the congestion caused by these parked
cars.

That this is a splendid record IS re-

when the average train load was 765
tons, the average car load 28.4 tons
and the average car movement 237

Just what this improved perform
