Two year old Wacker Drive, Chiâ€" cago‘s twoâ€"level street, has already expressed in dollars and cents the wisdom of widening streets and of doubleâ€"decking them where â€" traffic warrants. Wacker drive has added considerably more to the value of downtown Chicago than its actual cost of about $22,000,000. The augâ€" mented value of abutting property and not including the sharpened value of adjacent property is conservative» ly estimated at $65,000,000. Before the street was improved the square foot value ranged from $8 to $16. Unimproved property, of which there is very little, is now held at from $150 to $200 a square foot. Such progressive steps as street widening and doubleâ€"decking will ultiâ€" mately conquer traffic congestion, which, say highway autborities, should yield to the highway doctor in much the same degree of success that measles and small pox have sueâ€" cumbed to the ministrations of the physician.
