CIVIC NERVE is NEEDED
TO COMBAT TRAFFIC
Seattle Slashes Through Buildings
To Create New Wide Street
By E. E. Duffy.

Boldness, or at least a lack of the
unprogressiveness built up by habit
is necessary in outfitting the modern
community to cope successfully with
the automobile.
Seattle, Washington, has removed
traffic barrier at what at first
might seem a tremendous cost, YET
the one and one-quarter million dol
lar expenditure is cheap price fol-
the traffic benefits resulting.
A quarter-mile long street has
been created there, project that re-
quired the cutting through of four
blocks occupied by buildings, most
of which were several stories in
height. Today cars flow freely over
54-foot width of smooth pavement
which connects nicely with other
main thoroughfares.
This street, called the Second ave-
nue. extension, permits Second ave-
nue. to continue on through the older
diagonal section of the city. Travel
has been speeded up remarkably.
The cost of acquiring the needed
property, including property dam
ages, consumed n per cent of the
total money outlay. The actual paw
ing operations and the placement of
sewer and water mains absorbed but
13 per cent of the total cost.
This high cost of property con-
demnation and acquisition, illus
trates the need for regional plan
ming work in growing cities, where
through the establishment of set
back building lines, and other fore
sighted requirements, considerable
money and difficulty in the future
will be avoided.
Slashing through street in the
fashion of Seattle obviously re-
quired no little civic nerve. Yet
most of the large American cities
must take similar steps, for the
automobile registrations are grow
ing and halfway measures no long
er bring any real relief.
Chicago is bridging the Chicago
river wherever a bridge is practic-
able. Washington, D. c., is widen
Milford chronicle., 1929-09-06

at such switchboard, since there is
nothing to touch which could shock.
Throughout the building a generous
number of plug outlets are provided
to suit any convenience.
An electric clock is prominently
located which is periodically reset to
correct time by telegraphic control.
The gate entering the safe deposit
department is controlled by an cleo
trio lock. A push button at the tell
ers desk releases the gate, which
then springs ajar of itself, so that
the person so desiring may enter.
The telephone wires are also en-
cased in conduit and concealed in the
building construction. The telephone
system is of the ntercommunication
type with number of stations plac-
ed at convenient points. In the vault
there is a telephone for the use of
any one who may be so unfortunate
as to be inadvertently locked in the
vault.
The vault is protected by the
''soundwave" type of burglar alarm.
This system is actuated by an, in
strument embodying the principles
of the radio microphone, when set
for duty, at the time the vault door
! is closed for the day, the instrument
| is sensitive to sounds. Hammering
on the vault walls, the roar of bur-
glars cutting torch, conversation
within the vault, and similar noises,
will release the mechanism that sets
off the burglar alarm gong. At
number of stations strategically 10
Gated throughout the building, there
are push buttons or other devices by
which the same gong can be releas-
ed in case a daylight hold-up is at
tempted. This entire system con-
forms to the requirements for the
highest rate of approval and lowest
insurance charges recommended by
the insurance underwriters.
The plumbing work includes all
conveniences appropriate to build
ing of this quality. A storage water
heater provides an adequate supply
of hot water. The water pipes are
all solid brass. They cannot rust,
with the attendant difficulties of
clogging and replacement. The drain
pipes are of the extra heavy grade
cast iron, for protection against pos
sible cracking. Rain water conduc-
tors are concealed in the building
walls and discharged into a cess
pool instead of into the gutter. This
avoids any chance of their freezing,
inside or at their outer ends.
The plumbing fixtures are of the
highest grade. Vitreous china ware
is used throughout. Toilet seats are
practically indestructible of ebony
whaleboneite.
The most modern type of heating
system is used. This vapor vacuum
system has single supply main and
double returns, with graduated sup
ply valves and thermomstatic return
traps. It is so designed that the rad
iators actually pull at the boiler,
taking steam from it at less than at
Milford chronicle., 1929-09-06

mospheric pressure and lower than
boiling temperature. The pipes that
supply the radiators with steam are
insulated like the hot water pipes, in
order to reduce coal consumption to
a minimum.
The fire is regulated by therm-
ostat which will automatically keep
the temperature in the building at 20
degrees during the day and any de-
sired temperature at night. A clock
incorporated in this system changes
the setting for night and day so that
no personal attention is required.
The steam is generated by an effi-
cient modern type of boiler.

ing streets; New York City is build
ing an elevated highway-and many
other cities needing modern traffic
facilities are doing nothing but
planning.
There is more of the spirit of

nue. Extension was completed al

held fast by the levers of the press,
is rolled over the die under great
pressure until the soft steel of the
roll is forced into the liners of the en-
craving, perfectly reproducing it in
relief on the circumference of the roll.
The work of each engraver contribut-
ing toward the particular design is
thus transferred to rolls, which,
through this method of transfer, are
assembled on one roll.
"This roll is hardened in the same
manner as is used for hardening dies.
The design is then transferred from
the roll to a steel plate by the same
method as is used to transfer from
the die to the roll, the impression
from the hard roll with engraving in
relief making an intaglio or cut-in
impression on the plate. The engrav-
ed plate, when hardened and cleaned,
is ready for the printer. 1t reveals
the individual excellence and char
acteristics of number of skilled en-
gravers, making it difficult for q
counterfeiter to make a perfect re-
production of this composite work OF
other engravers. A roll will dupli-
cate an engraving great many times
before wearing out, and the original
engraving or dies are preserved fol
making new rolls"

rs MONTANA RIVER
WITHOUT A NAME?

State Game Warden Robert H..
Hill was confronted with the naming
of quarter of mile of Montana
stream last Saturday when a fisher
man residing near Three Forks asked
whether it was permissible to fish
between the junction of the Madison
and Jefferson rivers and the mouth
of the Gallatin, where the waters OF
the three form the Missouri.
There proved to be considerable
conjecture in the matter.
II the stretch of water has no name,
it has never been closed to fishing,
the warden declared; therefore, it
must be open.
If it is the Madison river, it is
open and if it is the jefferson, it is
closed; because the game laws govern
those streams that way.
As far as the three rivers which
make up the Missouri are concerned
the nameless quarter-mile is two
thirds Missouri, Mr.. Hill said; and
four-fifths of water Of the famous
three rivers flow from the mouths OF
the Madison and Jefferson.
Name or no name, the man may
fish in that part of the river, the
IVA rden ruled.

HIGH LOCALS

Three plays, "The Neighbors," "The
Florist Shop" and Lima Beans, !"
were presented at the Roosevelt
school on April 9 by the public speak
ing class. Miss Fisher directed the
plays. The characters in each play
carried their parts well. A large
crowd attended and everybody enjoy
ed the plays.
The Camp Fire Girls did not meet
this week as the high school assem-
bly,, where their meetings are usually
held, was being used by the Glee
clubs for practicing the operetta,
"Lotta," which will be presented this
month.
Rae Love called a meeting of the
Pep Squad Wednesday, April 10. She
told the girls about the social gather
ing which had been planned for
Thursday
"Nine bucks and sixty-three cents!
Robbers!" "They must think I'm run
ming mint" "Ain't it a shame ?
All that money just to graduate. y
And so on and so forth far into the
day. The seniors have received their
bills for the various graduating ex-
penses, and by the expressions and
calculations heard and seen we come
to the conclusion that the seniors are
not exactly pleased with the amounts
of the. bills. The famous bill-collect-
ors, Olga Karhu and Hera Luhtala
have been appointed to take in the
money.
A short assembly for the boys
was held last Monday after school,
with Principal Schmidt, Coach Hart
wig, and Mr.. Spogen as the CHIEF
, speakers. The meeting was held tt
censure the boys and ask them tt
come out for track. The speeches
concerned the we'll known evils Of
non-training. The sensational fac
brought out, however, was that only
19 days are left before the count,
track meet, and it set the boys think
ing. Mr.. Hartwig's words, "Com'
out or we won't have track meet,
was the parting shot at the boys
and it appears that, even with snow
they are coming out.

CURTIS HAS WAY,
SISTER rs HONORED

For the first time since she became
the center of social controversy, Mrs.
Edward Gam last week was among
200 guests invited to an official dim
ner and her chair stood at the right
of the host, Ambassador Davila, of
Chile.
That position was in accordance
with what has been demanded for
her at such functions by her brother,
Vice President Curtis, for whom she
has been designated to serve as hos
tess. The vice president also was
among the guests to whom invitations
had been sent. Another was Mr..
Gam, who has figured practically
not at all in the dispute which has
occupied capital society recently as
his wife's rank.
The vice presidents chair last week
was at the farther end of the han of
nations in the Pan-American Union
building. Mr.. Cams position also was
far removed from that chair of hon
or reserved for his wife.
The dinner was in honor Of Pablo
Ramirez, minister of finance of Chile.
