DETROIT STREETS
MOST INADEQUATE
Tens of Thousands of Autos
Made in City Provide Baf-
fling Problem.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, November 5.-Detroit
wasn't SO much until the automobile
came chugging into the picture. But
just as too much prosperity frequently
proves an expensive thing, SO do many
officials here suggest that too many
automobiles may spoil the municipal
broth.
Almost. every one in Detroit, it
seems, drives. Every one with as little
as IS for a first payment is potential
purchaser. Detroit makes more auto
mibles than any other city: 100000
of It's population are employed in au-
tomobile factories. They make motor
cars, and they ride In them.
So Detroit's thoroughfares are
choked with machines-flivvers by the
ten thousa nds, trucks, passenger cars
of every description. jitnies and motor
busses. The automobile industry has
made" Detroit. 1t also has created
serious problems. Detroit today is
hard pressed to keep pace with its
motorized citizenry.
Many Remedies Urged.
Subways, elevated, wider streets,
stringent parking regulations-all II
have been suggested as panaceaS- In
the meantime the situation becomes
more acute. Where TO put a car is
more of problem to many than rails
ing the revenue TO buy it. Garage
shortages in many sections. coupled
with the native thrift of penuriousness
of owners, have worked to increase all
night parking at curbs. Big and shiny
ones stand with their lowlier brethren.
Thereby is added another perplexing
traffic problem.
There has been evolved what is
known as the master plan" entailing
an expenditure within the next 10
years of 500 900 900 for new thorough
fares and the widening Of many exist
ing arteries.
For two years past street widening
has been in progress, but it has not
kept up with traffic increase. A super
highway TO bisect the city, providing a
direct East Side-WeSt Side thorough
fare, has been approved by the voters.
