Geological Survey for Alaska, who represents the Department of the Interior with the Detachment, looking over films in his laboratory on the barge; of the planes circling over Taku Gla- cier, and number of others were shown. Later the complete film will be made up.

There was no cut Of credit, no EN-

Use OF WASTE
SPACE URGED
Land Can Be Utilized
I'm Handling Of
Auto Problem
Nv T. r. DrFFy

In line with the elimination of
waste in all forms Of endeavor. a.
for instance the use Of corn stalks
in making paper, cities in the fu-
ture must give more attention to
the elimination OF waste pace.
OF the several conditions hamper
.ng cities, now that the automobile
has complicated transportation prob
lens. one OF the most in need OF
Corrective measures is the elimina-
ton of "Chirese Wallis aceumulat-
ed through the construction of re-
tanning walls and fills by electric and
steam railroads. IL has long been
the custom in elevating railroad
tracks to build parallel retaining
walls, Killing in between them with
earth, with occasional openings at
street intersections
Traffic authorities point out that
barriers formed by such construc-
ton are not in keeping with modern
needs. Instances are cited TO show
that this space the tracks can be
utilized to the advantage Of both
railroads and the general public.
Such SAGE, frequently valued at
$3.50 or nor per running foot. can
be l-ade available through simple
and ecoT omical construction of sup
porting columns and deck.
Three uses for This SPACE are ap-
parent; business, parking and auto
mobile traffice arteries.
In the Wilson Avenue section of
Chicago, space beneath the electric
elevated lines has been successfully
converted into business property.
This Improvement benefits both the
railroads and tn public.
An excellent example Of the use Of
space that otherwise might be wasted
Is at the East Orange. ". j., station
Of a large railroad. Underneath the
elevated tracks and hear the station
provision has been made for the
parking Of numerous cars.
Engineers point out that where
four tracks are elevated, the ground
space under the sanerstructure Il
about 60 feet wide. With the proper
spacing Of the supporting columns
1t least three al can be parked for
each eiRht-foot length. The yearly
income from this eight feet OF land
would be equivalent to the annual
interest income from three or four
thousand dollars and in addition
motorists would have a convenient
place to park.
