B 6 CHANGES

According to Edward 8. Jordan,
president OF the Jordan Motor Car
Company, any prophet who has the
courage and is familiar with what
| lis going on In the world today, can
visualize three or four things that
| are going to happen in the United
states which were far beyond the
imagination OF our fathers before
the traffic problem and the prohi-
bition question dominated all polite
conversation.
i. Broadway in New York, Broad

last generations will be the back
streets of the coming generation.
2. The department stores which
depend for their volume Of business
upon the myriads OF people who
came TO a certain center to do their
shopping. will find themselves
spread ali over the population areas
just as the banks, the cigar stores
and the drug stores have been
3. The street car. which now Is
Just an incubator for automobile
prospects, will go numbering down
these back streets, while broad ave-
nues for slow speed, high speed and
pedestrian traffic Will spread them
selves 200 feet wide along the Hud-
son and East rivers In New York

There win be no serious traffic

the street cars VIII be replaced BY

Across the country, from coast TO

Al few years ago some railroad
men got the idea that the truck
business and the bus business were
interfering with their oid-estab-
lished industry
From now on the railroads win
be the CHIEF buyers OF trucks, Just
as the street railway companies now
are the principal prospects for
buses.
Passenger cars win grow lighter
and lighter IN weight and IN every
family with sufficient means there
will be from three to five cars, or
one for each member OF the family.
Real estate values In outlying
districts win continue TO so up.
The downtown sections Of the
cities, from the standpoint Of bust
ness, will be more wholesale IN

Saving in Highways
Examples from the experience Of

Further Draft on Lake Michigan
Protested in Communication

MONTREAL, April Mayor Du-
quette. on behalf of the city Of Mon
treal, telegraphed energetic protests
to Washington and Ottawa against
the proposed diversion of additional
water from Lake Michigan by the
City of Chicago for nine-foot channel
in the Illinois River.
To Charles Stewart, minister of the
interior at Ottawa, the mayor tele-
graphed that the proposed diversion
would have "a very detrimental effect
on the port Of Montreal" I'VE pro-
test vehemently," he added.
Mayor Duquette, In a message to S.
Wallace Dempsey. chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee of the
House OF Representatives at Wash.
ington, asserted that the diversion
would necessitate large expenditures
by Montreal for remedial work and
said that the city protested its being
