TRAFFIC SIGNALS

In growing city, struggling with its traffic prob
lem signal tower was built two years ago to control
Tafflc on the busiest 1t was a fine tower,
nut OF bronze and marble and plate glass and cost
ing good many thousand dollars The authorities
wanted = to be an ornament to the city and stand the
ravages of time. Expert policemen were placed in
that tower In relays to handle the traffic for several
blocks in four directions. 1t worked we'll and the city
was vastly proud of It's tower
The residents have Just discovered to their surprise
that there has been nobody in that tower for six
months. Millions have driven past that crossing or
walked past it, with unseeing eyes. They didn't need
to look up, anyway. Traffic moved along all right
directed by new automatic system of signal lights
which flashed the four sides of the tower as we'll as
at every crossing down the four radiating thorough
fares.
So the bronze tower is left empty monument. 1t
might be allowed to remain there as a real monument
to modern motor traffic, indicating the rapidity with
which that traffic oItgrows all provision made for it
49, sraers control methods and equipment obsolete.
At first there was just an occasional policeman
standing at a busy crossing, mildly regulating the
tons OF few cars. Then came stop-and-start stan
dards then safety and protective posts and fix
ed light signals, then ght-control towers, and
automatic lights operating all along main thorough
fares on the wave or ripple system. What will
be next?
