The La Sale Street project is re-

other American cities are planning
to do. or will be forced to do.
The first section Of the revised
street runs from Washington Street
to Lake street. Shortly. the smooth
pavement will be continued from the
river north to Ohio Street, giving
total length Of nine blocks.
Much difficulty was avoided IN
widening La Sale Street through

AUTO INDUSTRY
SET FOR NEW
SEASON

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 24.-With
the present beginnings of the fall
and early winter declines in auto
mobile sales and production, public
interest as well as the. interest OF
the industry itself is following is
customary change of concentration
on the intense competitive and
merchandising campaigns which
nave been in existence for som J
time and is being focused on the
conditions that may be reasonably
expected after the first Of the year
according to b. III. Cram, president
of Grams Automotive Reports, me-,
industry authority
At the present time the auto
mobile industry is characterized by
an effort to move present stocks
OF cars from factories on 10
dealers floors, and from dealers
floors to the public. Stocks of
materials are practically used up
as far as current models are con-
cerned, and many plants are now
going through the process of tool
ing up for the new models which
may be expected at the time OF
the New York automobile show in
early January.
Generally speaking. the industry
Is in an excellent position to get
away to a flying start after the
first of the year. Manufacturers
report that materials inventories
are low, and because there is still
an excellent seasonal demand for
motor cars, inventories are being
cleaned up rapidly. In fact, many
models, are already out of produc-
ton and dealers are unable, in some
cases, to fill current orders.

CITIES NEGLECT
PROBLEM OF

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Oct. 24.-Nine of

cred here before the Advertising
Mems Post of the American Legion.
The seriousness and scope OF the
street problem were stressed by Cap
tain Whitehurst. who pointed out
that there are in all cities of the
United States more than 20 billion
square yards of improved streets.

''Some cities shave records OF labor

One of the greatest problems
confronting the American city is
that Of building streets properly,
which in itself eliminates consid-
cradle future maintenance. Cap
tain Whitehurst stated: II dare
say 80 per. cent of failures of
streets and roads are due TO
poor inspections, lack of field con.
troll and improper maintenance.

paving specifications Of some 10
odd cities. While there are pro-
visions in some, I do not agree
with, there is not a single one

pose intended

La Sale Street is as old as Chi
cago, yet that wall Street" of the
Middle West has never served the
full purpose expected Of 4 modern
traffic artery. But now, with
building fronts set back as much
as 20 feet and the streets first

nearing completion, Chicago's Loop
will have. in effect, brand-new
entranceway.
10000 Daily
It is difficult to visualize the bur.
den that viii be borne by this
modernized street. Every weekday
at least 10000 motor vehicles enter
or leave the central business dis
trict which is scarcely three. eighths
of square mile in area. With
this tremendous traffic volume in
mind, La Sale Street is being paved
with a 10.inch layer Of concrete.
The La Sale project constitutes
the first attempt to adopt the
remedy : for the traffic malady
pointed out in the recent Chicago
street traffic survey conducted by
Miller McClintock, director of the
street traffic research bureau of
Harvard University.
McClintock reported that "the d.
rect physical relief that could be
brought to the Chicago traffic prob
lem would be an energetic and
comprehensive paving program. The

as a modern rural highway.
