TIME AT HAND FOR STREET REPAIRS

The unanimity Of opinion that exists regarding the necessity of putting streets in good repair ought to produce satisfactory results be- fore the year is far advanced. The large number of streets which are paved with amiesite possess one ad- >antage-to repair them by the kold patch process is comparatively easy. This method is to place mix ture Of tar and crushed stone in the crevices, and after rolled down and hardened the street again is as smooth as repairs can make fl, The process has been perfected by he state highway department and is in widespread use m Connecticut.
 One wonders why the creviccs are allowed to become so dtep on many streets before such repairs arc at tempted. More frequent overseeing of the condition of streets, and more constant repair work, are essential.

ANNUAL STREET PROJECTS
 .AFTIICT CITIES

One of the invariable signs of spring is tho crop Of street Nidcn- ings and other civic improvements that are preached in every city of the land. It is a poor town, in fact, that cannot trot forth one or two necessary improvements. Most Of them arc due to the general use of automobiles, the bcnzinc buggies either requiring more room 10 get around in or they need safer meth ods of crossing the multifarious rail- road tracks that infict the cities and the countryside.
 Down in New York the authorities have taken q survey Of conditions which is one of those things that result in a boollful of facts, figures and statistics" What has been found is that if every automobile using the doWntoW section Of tho city. or desiring to do so, is to he given though room to navigate inc en- tire street system will have 10 be changed. Indeed, double decker streets would have 10 b" the rule. This much being granted. who is so- ing 10 pay for all these chang"s? :? Tax rates usually arc as high as tho taxpayers think they ought to go.
 The New York survey showed that street cars take lip onr-tiith Of inc traffic lanes, whether they arc nov ing or standing still. II is pointed out that the main contention against inc trolleys is that inc tracks inter fcre with the lIcAibility Of the traf- lie lanes, and unlike buses. they cannot move around parked cars - which Of course everybody already knew. The survey report went so
 far as to say that bus"s were su- porior 10 the ;roIleys for city traffic in New York.
 But the report Nas just as N"-
 hcmcnt against the Us" Of auionIo- ! biles unnecessarily ill th" doWntoWn
 districts. A large percentage Of th" 1 traffic. ii was shown. is composed ! of automobiles containing only one
 or two persons; and that one person 1 in an automobile occupIoS an amaz- i ing amount of street space. The same observation came following a
 similar survey in Boston about a
 year ago. Both surveys so'nrd io

 Of he cities to provide sufficient spaca for such trafhr; that it in

 The south meadows project IS on sound,r footing.
