"The volume o.f traffic which enters the citv from the county or from the adjacer{t communities," said Mr. 1~cClintock, "is of such size that it would make a considerable showing upon the streets of Chicago even though there were nd intra-city traffic." · In order that data might be available to correlate with the information col lected upon the paved routes out of Chicago, the survey undertook a studv of the principal points of congestio~ throughout the city.
