Traffic Suggestions Continue to Roll Into Times Office

The Times traffic problem contest, which ends next Thursday night, is causing much comment among motorists and pedestrians. Ths result is that safety is brought to the fore. For the suggestion voted the best and most practical the Traffic Problem Editor of The Times will gtve a prize of SSO. Send in your suggestion immediately. Here are additional contributions; Would Ban Autos In Downtown Loop. Do not let any cars drive inside of territory bounded by Capitol Ave. on the weet, Pennsylvania St. on the east, Maryland St. on the south and Ohio St. on the north. Have ten miles an hour speed limit inside of the mile square, and enforce it. C. W. CLARKE, 330 N. Hamilton Ave. Don’t Change Present System, Is Advice. My suggestion for a safe city for the pedestrian: Stick to the present traffic system. Don’t change it every other day. By doing so the pedestrian and autoisc soon will know all rules thoroughly. NEAL M’CORMTCK, 1125 H E. Washington St. Cross-Town Cars and Corner Lights Uptown. People to go with traffic. People to keep to the right at all times. Make all auto traffic east and west or north and south in up-town section. Put cross-town car lines into effect so as to go straight east and west or north and south in uptown section. Put lights on all comers in uptown section to operate from one cab so traffic will move at all corners at the same time. Make laws and enforce them with people, street cars and autos. WILLIAM H. LOVE. 2207 Brookside Ave. Take Street Cars Out Os Busiest Section. Why should people transferring from one line to another have to walk two blocks after paying 2-cents for a transfer? For instance, a passenger or. the College Ave. line leaves his car at Pennsylvania St.. walks through the congestion to Illinois St. end as he reaches the proper corner his car pulls out, leaving him to wait for the next car. There is a fine belt line starting at Capitol Ave. and Ohio St., extending east to Delaware St., south on Delaware to Maryland St., west on Maryl? id to Capitol Ave.. thence north to Ohio. Every car line taps this belt at some point along the way. By using this belt it would take all cars off Washington St. from Delaware St. to Capitol. Ave.. and also on Illinois. S. Meridian and Pennsylvania Sts. By using the center of the above streets for automobiles it would take care of the parking situation. T. J. BUCKMAN. 711 E. Twenty-Third St. Speeders Should Be Sent to Asylum. Stop all auto traffic in the downtown district from Georgia to Ohio St. and from Capitol Ave. to Pennsylvania St., with the exception of taxicabs, from 6:30 to 8 a. m. and from 11:80 to 1 and from 4:30 to 6 p. m. To speeders and careless drivers. Instead of making them pay a fine, send them to an asylum, for the desire 'to go at breakneck speed is a certain form of insanity. Let all speed cops wear plain clothes. CHARLES F. KELLER. 743 Fletcsher Ave.
