This fact is brought out in the traffic survey just completed by The Chicago · Association of Commerce. The complete report of this survey conducted by the. Street Tcaffic committee of the association will be transmitted to the Chicago City Council in two or three weeks at which time the recommendations of the· committee for scientific control of traffic in the Chicago region will be made public. In making a survey of the congestion and traffic problems of the Chicago area Miller McClintock, director of the Albert Russel Erskine bureau for traffic research, the engineer in charge of the survey, has made a complete study of traffic flows, street needs, congestion snarls and other features of the street use which may be applied effectively to Chicago and suburban residential communities. Plans for traffic control in urban Chicago cannot be differentiated from a plan for the entire Chicago area, Mr. McClintock points out, because of theconstant exchange of vehicular trafficbetween the big city and the suburbs-: All users of motor vehicles in the suburbs of Chicago will recognize that there is no distinct line between the streets of these communities and the country highways which are in many cases continuations . of crowded city streets. In making our survey we found that only through cooperation between city, county and suburbs can satisfactory improvement be made in traffic relief. Some suburbs are deluged with motor cars on SundaY,s because arterial highways pass through their boundaries, a fact that emphasizes the relationship between the large city and suburbs in the treatment of the traffic control problem." That Chicago and her ·· suburban neighbors must get together for a modern traffic control system and reduce motor accidents is evidenced by the Surveyor's report showing the economic cost of automobile accidents last vear to be above $17,000,000. And this -figure does not estimate ·the economic cost of delays caused by accidents as distinguished from delays caused by congestion. It is apparent that on the economic side alone, accidents con.stitute a material part of the traffic problem in the Chicae-o area . In substantiating the statement that a modern scientific traffic control system will reduce accidents the Street Traffic Committee of the Association of Commerce points to the result achieved in Los Angeles. After the installation of such a svstem the western city flow of traffic on some streets was speeded up to as much as 50 per cent while accidents were reduced 30 per cent. 14 1/f- THE BRILLlANT CADILLAC SILVER ANNIVERSARY SALON OCTOBER lOth to 16th An Exhibition Representative ot Cadillac Standard Body Types, and in additi~n, Custom Bodies by Fisher and by Fleetwood. .f f f / This formal presentation of the great new line of Cadillac cars displays 50 Body Styles and Types in a choice · of 500 Color and Upholstery Com, binations, and inaugurates the in' dividualized motor car, one of the greatest advances in the history of the n1otor car.
