BIG CITIES MOVE NEARER
COUNTRY
Work Progresses On Outlet From
New York That viii Carry 100000
900 Cars.
By E. E. Duffy

Big cities are gradually gettins
nearer the country. Talk and plans
for adequate highway outlets from
the regions of massed 3kyscrapers
and towering, cliff-like apartments
wherein dwell thousands who have
never seen herd of cattle, are civ.
ing way to action.
The latest and most startling high
way project is that of New Jersey
which is building a great super
highway leading away from New
York City's Holland vehiculor tun-
mel. 1t is estimated that this road
way, when completed, will carry TO-
100000 automobiles in a single year,
or nearly as many as the entire reg
1stration in the United States.
Travel to and from the sun bathed
Fairgrounds scattered along the New
Jersey coast will be accelerated by
this super-highway with its five traf-
fic lanes. Long distance travel will
also be accelerated inasmuch as the
Lincoln Highway will soon incorpor-
ate this high speed road and the
Holland tunnel. Thousands of New
York City's people who have given
up all hope of comfortable weekend
holiday travel will soon have an ex-
press route for IS miles through
Jersey City, Newark and Elizabeth
without hindrance from a single
street or railroad crossing; ramps
provide local connections.
DOuble-decked through most of
Jersey City and portions of Newark
and Elizabeth, the new highway
will eliminate the congestion now
experienced when the motor owning |
herd is free to break away from the |
cares of business. The super-high-
way starts with gigantic concret-
ed, viaduct suspended over the maze
Of railroad tracks at the New Jersey
entrance of the Holland tunnel. At
ter spinning along for a few NOM
ents the motOrist will find himself
1t the beginning of the doubTe-deck-
I'd portion. The through motorist
will shoot down the ramp onto the
over level while local traffic con-

costly but, as in the case of this Hol-
land tunnel extension, the expendi-
ture. win save money, actually, not
theoretically.
Experience has proven that high
ways built to handle existing traffic
only will be entirely inadequate in
ten years. The least that a popu-
lous community can do with a clear
conscience is to make plans for a
decade or two ahead.

The motive behind Eskel- sons death was not clear, but the police were convinced that it had some connection with the staying of Lombardo and the fatal wounding of Ferraro.
 Exerted Power

A star desig- hating Eskelson as assisting prose cutting attorney, Chicago" was found in his clothing. but police quickly ascertained that Eskelson was un- known at the prosecutors office. They advanced the theory that he had used the star to extort money from manufacturers and dealers in alcohol-two lines of law breaking in which they said Lombardo was prominently linked.
 Arrangements for Lombardo' s funeral were not to be completed until late today, but it was tentative ly set for tomorrow. It promised to be another of those "s100, 00O funerals" which have come to be regular gestures whenever a figure prominent in gang warfare is buried
