Hearings started this week on the proposed traffic ordinance submitted a few days a,go to the City Council of Chicago by the Chicago Association of Commerce. This ordinance, one of the most comprehensive and far reaching civic measures ever laid before any aldermanic body, is the result of OJ1e yea.r's work by the ~treet traffic committee of the association which has been conducting an intensive scientific study of the traffic problem in Chicago and adjacent suburban area. Inasmuch as the questions of parking in business districts, control lights, traffic police, pedestrian control and many other features covered in the survey just completed for Chicago a.re being encountered in many suburban comm unities as well as in the large ci ties, Chicago traffic students expect that the towns and cities in the Chicago automotive area will show considerable interest in this big traffic survey and the ordinance recommended to relieve the congestion problem. The ordinance is the \York of seventY-eight men and agencies interested in. street use in Chicago and is baed on the surve,· conducted bv Miller McC iin tocR. ·the director o( the Albert Russel Erskine bureau for traffic re search, \\'ho handled the technical \\'Ork of the Chicago survey.
