PITMAN BUSINESS COLLEGE of Trade meeting on AIonday night in Ambleside Hall, his subject being "Increasing the Capacity of City Streets." The interest in the lecture divas considerably enhanced by the large number nf lantern slides, in charge of ~Ir. J. Porter, but due to the fact of their being several other meetings taking place the same night and the inclemency of the weather. there was not a large attendance. Those, however, who did attend enjoyed a rare treat. i~Ir. Oliver, who has made a special study of the subject in the province. started out by say- ing that the traffic capacity of any street was governed by two main conditions, first the area of the roadway, and second the speed of the traffic. Any scheme which increased such capacity must be regarded as a surgical operation in that it was cheap at any price, but at the same time it must also be remember- ed that it was a job for engin- eers only, and riot for amateurs. EVhile he was not there to boost street railways, it was a fact proved again and again by actual tests that, in proportion to the amount of people carried, a street car occupied less space on a road than either an auto or a bus. The ratio in square feet for the street car was 13 as com- pared with 30 feet for the auto and 15 for the bus. So far as speed was concerned it had been demonstrated that 20 to 25 miles per hour on the part of traffic enabled a street to accomodate the greatest num- ber of vehicles, over any given period of time. The older cities in Eastern Canada and the Eastern United States and particularly those in the old countries presented, of course, the greatest difficulties. This, 51r. Oliver amply illustrat- ed by a number of lantern slides, at the same time, strange as it might seem, Paris in France and washington, the United States Capitol, had the best street lay- out. i~Ir. Oliver then &vent on to en- large upon a number of ways in which the traffic problem was being tackled both in European countries and in the largerAmer- ican cities. He showed by lantern slides, sketches and photos the benefits of the elimination of the lefthandturn, theroundingofF of right angular street corners, and the excellent results obtained by building circular roadways with roads coming into them like the spokes of a wheel. Another il- lustration was the use of ramps or sloping roadways to carry traffic coming from side streets under arterial roadways, and the use of regulations by which the line of buildings was placed well back from the roadway with a broad boulevard in front. This alloived of the roadway being increased in width, without such svidening necessitating the de- struction of buildings. One point i~Ir. Oliver particu- larly emphasized, namely, that the largest expenditures in street ividening were the sums it was necessary to pay the owners of buildings for their property. In the case of skyscrapers the price divas absolutely prohibitive. For this reason and because they created a traffic problem of their own, skyscrapers stood con- demned. No such buildings ivould be allowed to be built in the future in any city adopting town planiiing principles. Iii conclusion 51r. Oliver had thrown on the screen an artist' conception of a down town sec- tion of the future where sky- scrapers had beeii built, and ivhere traffic was carried on sev- eral tiers of roads coiinected by ramps, the highest road passing from the top of one skyscraper to another by means of bridges.
