Conditions Were Bad.

Until using park grounds for
parking was decided upon, the Chi
cago police say traffic conditions
were almost uncomfortable. With
the withdrawal of thousands of
cars from the streets, traffic has
been relieved while the fire hazard
has been materially reduced.
While the utilization Of sections
OF the downtown parks for autom6-
bile parking, it is declared, will
meet with opposition, yet those seek
ing a solution to the existing con-
ditions declare that sooner or later
some such step must be taken. One
other solution can be utilized to
free the streets from the thousands
of motor cars lined up during the
entire business day. This is the
construction of underground ga
RACES built in below the park areas.
The plan was suggested several
months ago and will be revived as
soon as the traffic situation is again
under. consideration

Underground Garages.

Another possible solution which,
1t is said, will effect the same re-
suits attained by the Chicago plan
of using park areas for motor park
ing is seen. in the erecting at park
ing garages in the vacant spaces
found midway IN practically all Of
the downtown blocks. These spaces
are now used as backyards, courts
and alleyways.
Incidentally the Chicago police
are in the heat OF a beer war, ac-
cording to Walls. Practically all
Of the Chicago breweries are under
police guards, while many saloons
have been ordered to close. The
situation is the result, 1t is said, Of
a system OF brewing by which
each of the brewers Is assigned in
turn the right to supply the fcfty's
beer. This farming out frsSucc6ss

result that they undertook to do
