There is space along loop curbs
for $4,000 parked cars" said Maj. r.
f. Kelker, city traffic expert, "and
that space is filed all the time. Clear
these streets and solve the greatest
part of the problem.
"One-way streets will not work in
Chicago with street cars operating as
they are. Automatic signals will not
work in the loop and will be found
impractical on Michigan avenue un-
less the plan is co-ordinated with
practical loop movements ChicagO's
traffic problem is unlike any other.
We can solve it only through direct
cooperation of every city department
and park board on a unified and prac-
tical plan"

Three veteran Aldermen will retire
voluntarily before the new council of
fifty takes Office next April They are
Aldermen Michael Kenna of the First

in order not to have to run against
their colleagues. Aid. Bowler, ac-
