be stilled forever
A new co-ordinated system of traffic
lights, called the largest in the world,
was put into operation yesterday
morning, when Mayor w. E. Daver
threw a switch that turned on lights
at Forty nine street intersections
The system is controlled from a
board in the citv hall, and traffic dem

so that the operator may regulate

Differing with the systems employed
on Michigan boulevard here and on
Fifth avenue and Broadway in New
York City. where the traffic flow is
continuous along the length of the
streets, the stop and go intervals here
vary at different intersections.
The cops who footed whistles and
waved white gloved hands will now
confine their efforts to keeping motor
lists moving with the flashes and in
