UNIVERSITY 5236 What Does It Mean FIND GREEN BAY ROAD HAS BIG TRAFFIC LOAD Survey in Chicago Metropolitan Area Shows Vast Amount of Daily Highway Traffic Approximately 125,000 automobiles moving every day over thirteen paved highways link up the communities around Chicago with Chicago proper according to a check-up made by the metropolitan street traffic survey just completed by the street traffic commit- tee of The Chicago Association of Commerce. This great exchange of traffic between the many suburbs and the big city and the lack of highway space to handle it has been one of the things studied by this survey which is the first scientific engineering ap- proach to the traffic problem that has ever been made in the Chicago auto- motive region. For more than ten months the street traffic committee of The Chicago As- sociation of Commerce has been study- ing the traffic needs of the Chicago area and the city proper. It has an- alyzed the causes of congestion and devised remedies for its relief. The Mme.

According to an announcement made today by Elmer T. Stevens, chairman of the traffic committee, the complete text of the survey with its recommendations for traffic relief will be made public late in October, when the report is to be turned over to the City Council which asked the commit- tee to make the survey. In checking up the motor traffic on the paved highways around Chicago, Mr. MeClintock and his staff of in- vestigators found that the Green Bay road north of Glencoe carries 6,731 cars on an average day and more than twice that number (15,200) when the peak is reached. The Waukegan- Milwaukee road, Milwaukee avenue road, Northwest highway, and Higgins road accommodate 15429 cars on a week day while 24,210 jam the pave- ment on a Sunday. The Lake street, Roosevelt road, Ogden avenue and Western avenue, Halsted, State street routes accom- modate more than 43,000 cars on an average day but more than 96,000 cars make these streets "monoxide high- ways" on pleasant Sundays. "The volume of traffic which enters the city from the county or from the adjacent communities," said Mr. McClintock, "is of such size that it would make a con- siderable showing upon the streets of Chicago even though there were no intra-city traffic." In order that data might be available to correlate with the information col- lected upon the paved routes out of Chicago, the survey undertook a study of the principal points of congestion throughout the city. As a result more than 250 intersections along the major routes of travel leading out into all portions of the city have been studied. Miss Amy Rothschild of the North Shore Garden club arges that surplus fruits and vegetables be taken to the booth in the North Western station terminal, which is sponsored by the Chicago Plant, Flower and Fruit guild of Chicago. The contributions are dis- tributed to hospitals, social settlements and similar institutions. f Eye-Strain Eye-strain is an easily perceived symptom of failing vision.
