CITY STARTS PLANS
TO Relieve STREETS

ries of travel blocked with traffic.
it is difficult to imagine.
The burden of putting the plan
into operation this coming week
end lies at present with the street
department. krochmally and Cleve-
land avenues are not paved streets
and at present are in no shape to
carry heavy automobile traffic.
Alderman Patten, however, has
promised to put some of his men at
work on the two streets. He Will
scrape them and get them into the
best condition possible and expects
to have therl ready by the end of
the week.
Chief Tonnesen will station traffic
men at the principal turning points.
insuring little confusion for the
motorists.
The above scheme will apply sole
ly to incoming traffic, the principal
source of annoyance last week. In
the afternoon. when the return tide
begins, the plan will not be feasible
because of the many points to
which cars will be bound. An even
more serious congestion would re-
suit on the bridge, the chief thinks,
if the police had to halt each ma
inquire it's destination. Afternoon
and night traffic, therefore, will be
compelled to follow its usual course.

New Campaign Against Cut
Outs and Other Unneces-
sary Noises by Autos

Owing to the numerous COM
plants being received by the police
against the use of cut-outs and un-
necessary noises by truck drivers,
Chief Tonnesen has been instructed
by Alderman Albert G. Waters
chairman of the police committee,
to start strenuous campaign
against these offenders.
The complaints have been mostly
from those whose sleep is disturbed
during the night by the large num-
ber of trucks passing through the
city. A city ordinance prevents use
of the cut-out on all automobiles
and violators will be arrested and
fined.
