Boulevard TRAFFIC
RULES IN PARIS TO
MAKE HORSE MEMORY

PARIS, Dec. 22.-The horse soon
will be but a memory, so far as the
principal thoroughfares Of Paris are
concerned if plans of traffic reform
ers" are adopted in an effort to olsen
tangle the traffic jams which are daily
making the pedestrians existence
more uncertain.
These experts propose to bar all
horse-drawn vehicles from the chief
traffic arteries during the daylight
hours, leaving the horse only a few
hours at night in which to jog along.
The Traffic authorities would go fur
Their and even Danish ordinary human
beings who are forced to walk. They
propose putting them all underground
on a moving sidewalk.
In any event those Who take a
gloomy view of the traffic situation,
see one optimistic aspect of it. They
say it can't get any worse. Accidents
are almost hourly occurrences on the
boulevards and tieup is the inevita-
bic result.
The red bands at crossings con-
structed to give protection to the
walkers, have proved a failure. Only
a heavy rain reveals their presence
and even then the drivers ignore them.
Cruising" taxicabs add to the con
fusion and it further suggested that
this practice be prohibited. The in
crease in the buses has deprived taxi
cabs Of much business and they are
now forced to solicit business, a thing
unnecessary since 1914
