WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1925 rE, TT, Ty 0 PLANNERS SCAN ROAD PROPLENS Regional Planning Associa- tion Conducts Minute Survey of Traffic Blocks SEEK PROMPT REMEDY Study Is Basis of Wide Road Plans Special survey of the traffic obstacles existing on the main thoroughfares within the region of Chicago is now be- ing carried on by Engineer Howard R. Olson, new member of the staff of the Chicago Regional Planning association, according to Robert Kingery, secretary of the association. "Mr. Olson's education and experi- ence have equipped him particularly for this character of work," stated Mr. Kingery. "He is a graduate civil engineer of Iowa State college, has had practical road building and munici- pal engineering experience, has been on the engineering staff of the Iowa Highway commission and has worked under Professor T. R. Agg, well known expert on highway economics, on traction resistance investications which have been of great value to highway builders throughout the world. Survey Traffic Blockades "The survey now under way with the cooperation of the Chicago Motor club has for its immediate objective the improvement of the inefficient and dangerous sections of our most heavily traveled roads. Studies by the commit- tee on highways of the Chicago Re- gional Planning association, indicate that sharp angles and curves, poor stretches of pavement, unpaved car tracks in municipalities, narrow sub- ways or bridges and grade crossings are the principal cause of traffic tangles which affect long lines of motor cars out on the unobstructed pavement. These obstacles to free-flowing traffic can be ironed out by the co-operation of the various responsible authorities. "Western avenue, the Dixie Highway route from Chicago to Momence was selected for first consideration because it is the principal direct outlet south from the city and, according to the traf- fic survey conducted last year by Cook county in conjunction with the United States Bureau of Public Roads, carries almost 16,000 vehicles daily and over double that number on Sundays, the greatest volume of traffic on any of the city's outlets. "The present survey supplements the data now on hand in county and state highway offices and includes a detailed map and report on the width of right- of-way, width and condition of pave- ment, number and character of grade crossings and suggestions for their improvement or removal, directness of route, marking, subways, viaducts and bridges and the width, type and charac- ter of street pavements in cities and villages through which the route passes. Basis for wider highway "The study Mr. Olson is making is not only ferreting out traffic obstacles and working out means to eliminate them but is also furnishing the basis for detailed plans now under considera- tion by the association for a system of broad radial and circuit highways. From the Dunes Highway on the east to Sheridan road on the north including every main radical highway of the Chicago region there is need for wider pavement, elimination of bottle-necks and improvement of dangerous turns and crossings. Federal, state, county and municipal officials who constitute the Regional Committee on highways, have planned this survey as a major step toward providing adequately for the traffic on the highways in the chi- cago region which, it is predicted, will double in the next five years."

Wilmette 290 PURPLE COACH LAUDS WORK OF HAROLD WHITE While Ralph "Moon" Baker was re- ceiving the plaudits of the football fans last fall for his remarkable feats on the gridiron there were those who were wondering what success he would have had without the assistance of one Harold White, fellow halfback and running mate. White received little mention during his first year of play with the Purple last fall since he seldom carried the ball. Despite this lack of attention being centered upon the plucky lad from Boise, Idaho, Coach Glenn Thistleth- waite has characterized him as one of the most valuable men on the eleven because of his remarkable ability at running interference. Many times when Baker was seen to break clear from a flock of tacklers and go running down the field he was assisted by White who seemed to have an uncanny abolity in bowling over tacklers and still retain his feet. "It is such players as White," declar- ed Coach Thistlethwaite, "that help make star players out of others. White does not have the shifty weaving gait of a back who can evade tacklers, but he can run fast and ward off tacklers better than any man I have ever seen. "Of course, such a player does not catch the eye of the average fan who is always watching the man with the ball and consequently he does not re- ceive the credit due him. Most of our stars at carrying the ball owe much of their renown to the hard- hitting teammates who pave the way for their sensational runs."
