TRAFFIC CONTROL
PROGRESS SLIGHT
Business Concerned Through
out Nation-InstitFe One of
Suggestions.
BY ]. c. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch 10 The star.
NEW YORK, June 5.-Business men
throughout the United States are grave
ly concerned over traffic congestion re-
lief. Congestion grows daily, and
dozen agencies and thousands of in
dividualS are graphing with the prob
lem, but little progress is being made.
The latest move, a traffic conference
of experts called in ST. Louis a few
days ago by national traffic maga-
zine, resulted In no marked achieve
ment. 1t did, however, emphasize the
chaotic state Of the situation.
An offer by the publication of $4,000
in prizes for new traffic congestion re-
lief ideas produced practically none.
The committee on awards. composed of
leading engineers and traffic experts
from many parts of the country, grant,
ed only part of the awards because of
lack of good ideas The meeting ad-
iourned after appointing committee
to study the advisability of forming a
national traffic institute.
Too Many Conflicting Interests.
Many close students of the situation
feel. however. that the committee will
not recommend an institute except with
reservations. There are too many con-
fiicting interests pulling in different
directions. They include the automo-
bile makers, steam railroads, road build
ers. signal manufacturers. engineers.
traffic experts. city planners and Fed
eral State and local bodies All admit
the great necessity for traffic conges
ton relief and agree on general Ideas,
but when they get down to details their
own interests bear weight. Some prog
ress has been made. but 1t is insignifi-
cant compared with the size of the
problem.
The problem Is national and almost
all the experts admit the Federal Gov
ernment is the logical agency to head
up relief work. Four years ago, when
the Hoover conference was called. hope
was high that substantial progress
would be made. Delegates were sent to
the initial meeting by all parties con-
cerned from every State and until the
committees got down to work every
thing seemed lovely. Then the fight
was on.
The automobile interests naturally
wanted nothing done which would seri-
ously interfere with the sale of cars
The railroads set out to protect them
selves against ruinous overhead crossing
costs The road builder saw much value
in widening streets The signal manu-
facturers had some ideas of the help
fulness of more signals. The engineers
and city planners had services TO sell
City and State officials, while not in
terested financially were quite partial
TO their pet schemes. 1t would be un-
fair to say no progress was made, but
1t was minor progress.
Accidents generally have increased
and traffic congestion. save in few
cities like Chicago where an electric
railway engineer evolved a workable
platoon system for moving traffic in
layers, is worse than ever.
Outstanding. perhaps, among results
is the model traffic code which recently
came from the hands OF Department

of Commerce committee, but at best 1t
Is simply the offering Of voluntary
body which has no right to enforce
It's suggestions.
On two points, seemingly. most ex-
perts are agreed. They are that aboli-
tion of downtown parking is the largest
single contribution to traffic congestion
relief and that juvenile education Is
an outstanding aid In accident preven-
tion.
Pittsburgh, Chicago and New York
are outstanding examples of cities
where tests on the value of non-parking
have proved its helpfulness,
The suggestion for congestion relief
most frequently heard is widening or
eleyating streets. This is admitted to
be an excellent idea, but expensive.
Constructing subways also is suggested
This has a minor drawback In that 1t
costs between $3,000,000 and $l0,00O,00O
per mile to build them.
The greatest progress, apparently,
that is being made just now. is in the
growth in number of traffic experts" ;"

Farm Loan Board TO Appeal.
The Federal Farm Loan Board is pre-
pairing to appeal the recent decision OF
the Federal Court at Milwaukee which
held void the double liability clause
Of the farm loan act.
Backed by favorable decision up
holding it's powers to assess stockholders
of bankrupt joint stock land bank
under the double liability provisions Of
the law handed down by the Circuit
Court of Appeals at st. Louis prior to
the Milwaukee ruling, the board Is con-
fident the higher court will uphold the
legality of the provisions of the farm
loan act which constitute one OF the
important safeguards behind the Joint
stock land bank bonds.
The ruling by Federal Judge Geiger
at Milwaukee was merely upon de-
murrer and was not considered an
opinion by the court. Hence the ruling
is not looked upon as carrying the same
weight as a formal written opinion, says
the Wall Street Journal.
