The tabulators stop a certain pro-
portion of the traffic passing and
question drivers of both passenger
cars and trucks as to where they
started from, where they are going
and by what routes.
The speed Of autos in relation to
the width of roads is carefully
watched, the object being to deter
mine how wide the roads should be.
The Cleveland investigation is the
second in which the Government
has co-operated. In 1924 less
elaborate survey was made in Chi
cago, but lack of proper co-opera-

In the Cleveland survey such en-

SEEK TO. END
; ROAD JAM BY
new ROUTES
Congestion Of Highways
Leading Into Major Cities
NeceSSitateS Remedy.
BY KENNETH WATSON

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Auto-
mobile traffic in and around all large
cities of the United States has
reached such proportions that radi-
cal changes in present road routing
is necessary to prevent hopeless con-
gestion in the next few years.
This was the declaration today of
j. Gordon Mckay, chief of the divi-
sion of highway economics of the
United States Bureau of Public
Roads, in citing the present regional
road survey of Cleveland and vicin-
ity. as offering the best solution of
the growing traffic problems in
American cities.
The survey, initiated in June by
the county commissioners, has been
under way since Sept. 4, under
supervision of the Government
bureau.
Before the Government consented
to make the survey, the Bureau of
Public Roads insisted that the coun-
ty commissioners secure written
pledges of all counties and cities in
yolved to cooperate in constructing
roads deemed necessary. The prom
hses were obtained and Sept. 4 men
We're stationed IN all sections of Guy
] ahoga and seven adjacent counties
to tabulate automombile traffic.
Plan to Be Presented
After several more weeks tabulat-
ing the Government engineers and
the various county and city engi-
neers will work out a comprehensive
plan for road routing, construction
and design. According to Mckay
the survey will enable roads to be
constructed to take care Of Cleve-
lands growing traffic problem Tor
the next ten Or fifteen years.
IT am absolutely convinced that
such survey is imperative for coun-
ties near large cities and advisable
for States" Mckay said.
The main difficulty in present day
road construction, Mckay says, is
that most county roads converge
into cities in fan shape, thus Great
ing tremendous congestion at the
center.
Chief attention will be paid to
three kinds of routes. One class will
be new artelial highways running
into Cleveland in such manner as
to provide easier egress and ingress;
a second class will be belt routes
that will avoid Cleveland and other
nearby cities and the third bypass
roads.
Traffic Will Be Noted
Special attention will be paid to
the origin and destination of traffic

FAIL TO CLIMB

Canadian Mountain Turns
Back AIpinlsts.

BIZ NEA Service
LAKE ADOLPHUS, Mount Rob-
son, B. c., Sept. 30.-Mount Robson,
giant peek of the Canadian Rockies,
this year has turned back every
party of Alpinists who have ct
tempted to scale it. Two recent at
tempts we're made by members of
the Seattle Mountaineers' Club. but
they, too, met with failure.
A driving rain and low-lying
clouds were encountered by the
climbers on their dangerous ascent
from the valley floor. At high al
titudes they ran into sleet and
finally, when the weather cleared.
they waded waist-deep through
snow. Finally. when success seemed
almost certain, they brought up
against huge ice cliff, blocking the
only possible approach to the sum-
NIT.
The cliff is 100 feet high and al
most perpendicular. The climbers
said they would try again next year.
