NEW MOTOR TRAFFIC RULES
AND TIE CHAUFFEURLESS CAR
Fresh Trouble for the MuItltudes Who
Regard tho Automobile as
BusIneaa UtIIItv

Business utlIlty
T11E puzzling thing nowadays, II you live
l. in city like ours, is not to get an
automobile, but to know what to do with it
when you get it,
Traffic policemen arc becoming constantly
more strict toward folk who go up and down
in motors. and it is hardly fair to blame them
for that. YhCy are, as the French neatly
say. diclrG1. Yet automobiles are truly
marvellous things Even the littlest Of them
will return good for evil in n way that
makes the family dog seem in comparison
like a bleak soulcd hypochondriac. They
seem to know more than good many people
who drive them. They survive all sorts of
shameful treatment with a bright air OF let
ting bygoues be bygoncs.
The lamentable thing is that with the
approach Of the motor millennium innumer-
able people in every big city in the East
are gradually being deprived Of tho fullest
benefits of device that seems in its present
state to be the actual embodiment Of many
essential virtues.
Listening to Director Cortelyou or Super
iutendent Mills. you realize that we are IN
the shadow Of n day when, to get the best
use of motorcar, it will be necessary to
live and do business somewhere in the open
country.
The city streets are gradually being closed
20 the man who drives his own motor to his
business and to the theatre. IL the new
parking plan OF the police department is
actually put in operation. motorcars will
have little more than the right of passage
in the area between Race and Vine streets
and Seventh and Eighteenth. Lucky folk
who have Chaufeurs will be able to send
their machines to wait in far place. But
the hard working bus that is accustomed to
browse at the curb while its boss works for
the tires and gasoline will have to pass it's
idle moments outside the closed zone. 1t
will probably be left in the garage at home
The police whose job Il IS to keep traffic
moving are doing their best amid welter
Of difficulties. Yet it would be possible TO
accept each new system Of motor regulation
with better grace if the people at City Hall
were little less ready to be content with
merely restrictive measures. If there ism t
room in the city for automobiles, room ought
to be provided in ono way or another. 1t
il because no ono ever appears to think in
constructive terms that Nutomobil" owners
will sooner or later succumb 10 n mood of
irritation.
In many important Western cities there
are public parking places where cars are
cared for by the police. who charge a very
small fee for this special service. Where
there are no open spaces there are public
garages operated under q reasonable scale
Of rates.
You cannot solve problems such as the
police are wrestling with by merely driving
motorCars further and further away from
tho cityS center.
There is great deal cf open space at the
eastern end Of the Parkway which might be
