It requires partner to make another bid. East passed, South would then jump to four spades which would buy the

A H
 Center street Is to be made 6 one-way thoroughfare with traffic entering from Bank street. Church street will be a one-way thorough fare, autos turning in from Grand street taking the preference. The same arrangement will be made for Field street, permitting cars to turn off Grand street at this par tfcular section. During the heavy rush 1t is planned. to close Grand street, between Leavenworth and Bank streets.
 Superintendent Mclean was also studying Exchange place with a view of invoking the one-way plan such as prevails at noon hours and during the busy evening rushes on week days. This arrangement would speed up traffic and would serve as a protection for pedes- trians crossing at these four par ticular corners.
 In addition to the traffic regula- tions the superintendent has or dered the entire night platoon to report an hour earlier. The motor patrol, 100 per cent strong, will be held in reserve to protect outlying districts in event of policemen being needed to handle crowds In the business sections of the city.
 In view of the fact, however, that thousands of radio parties will be held in homes, clubs, fra- ternal meeting halls and other gathering places the police do not expect the milling thousands of people as in former years. Owing to the fact. however, that hundreds of automobiles drive aimlessly about just to look on and to be in readiness to proceed to any scene of more "attractlve excitement" :" the authorities are eager to be on hand and supervise traffic.
 Policemen will be stationed at all principal trafiics points and there is little possibility of any serious congestions resulting.
 Extra policemen will be kept, on duty in the vicinity of Exchange place where thousands are expect ed to join in the usual walking about" procession.
