Greer Predicts Future of Motor Car
BY ERWIN GREER
president Greer College of Automotive Engineering Chcago)

The crowds that blocked every
entrance when the big exhibit doors
of the New York and Chicago auto
mobile shows swung open were
veterans of wheel and trail, for the
most part.
They were ushered in upon a
world Of absolutely new motor cars,
set like strange jewels in brilliant
decorative schemes, unequaled in
lavishness by any preceding show.
All the old familiar makes Of cars
were there, but name plate and
basic construction alone marked
them for the friends of former
years.

Garages will be for storage and
gas, oil and accessories only; no re-
pairs needed at all. Every Office
building will have its own garage.
while heavy traffic streets will be
constructed either over or under the
streets.
The battle of the future in the
automotive industry will be sales
organization, merchandising methods
and constructive advertising.
And pedestrians will have entirely
disappeared from the face Of the
earth.

STATE OFFICIAL
AGAINST SCHOOL site
Advised Not to Have Location In
Mead Memorial Park In
Canaan

New Canaan, Oct. II Np - In a
communication to tho town and
borough officials today Warren ].
Scott, director Of the bureau OF SAN
itary engineers OF the state health
department advised against the
choice OF the site OF the new high
school In Mead Memorial park. The
site was approved at a town meet
ing last Friday night at the same
time that the $4,000 bond issue
was approved. This action has since
been held to be illegal by the town
clerk.
DR.. M ]. Brooks, one OF the OPP
ponents to the site asked the state
department TO send an inspector to
look over the site. This inspection
was made yesterday and the rec
ommendation OF the director re-
ceived today. Some OF the reasons
why the place is not desirable are
the lack of proper sewerage facili-
ties, proximity to the railroad. the
possibility that the rails may be
moved nearer the site, a dangerous
grade crossing and poor drainage,
the director points out.
