The width of Streets" the Com
missioner wrote. "is one of the fun
damentals vitally affecting the eX-

mistake to make streets too narrow,
1t is also a mistake to make them too
wide. A large portion OF the area of
a city is occupied by streets-the
average is undoubtedly above 80 per
cent of the total area-and if they are
unnecessarily wide there is IA waste
of land that would otherwise be avail
able for buildings.

means found by Washington for pre-
venting the traffic jams that are
