SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1926 Tall Structures Confine Business to Small Areas BY ISRAEL KLEIN Science Editor, NEA Servcie Business districts, compact as they are today, are one of the gri Mmenaces to the country’s traffic uation. There people congregate, on vehicle and afoot, and there they cause con- gestion that no end of regulations could clear up. The automobile was formerly con- sidered a means by which popula- tion would be most likely to spread out toward the open country, away from city eon; in and poor health. It has done t in 2 way. But it has also helped ‘further to confine the business area into a closer, more compact mass. Out of this area, people have moved to make room for skyscrapers hous- ing thousands of inhabitants at a time. Into this area, the same people almost at the same time, ing through the streets on tomobile, strect car and a New York Reaches Limit New York City, although the ex- treme in this situation, is an example to what limit thriving business dis- triets may reach. Automabiles, trucks, taxicabs, street cars, all on one level, pour in and out of the few square miles and the narrow streets form- ing lower Manhattan Island. The tall skyscrapers draw millions of people into this small area by subway, street car, elevated, auto and even ferry transportation.

He had in mind the * comfort his young son would enjoy riding on air on his bicycle. With the same idea in mind, the company he established have lived and prospered for 38 years, af- fording camfort to motorists all over the world, by giv- ing them a product perfected by their long experience. Dunlop Tires are built in 9 modern tire factories, serving the motorists of 6 continents. The largest of: these factories located at Buffalo was finished and started production less than thyee years ago at a cost : of 43 million dollars, showing the confidence Dunlop ' ae se ° oy é Sie ' ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN - a a a ee i ee ee SKYSCRAPERS MENACE TO TRAFFIC! gegeaanes | bi Virginia Morton is cnly three years old, but i ‘the: feminine ciency from the unsprung weight. speed championship of Los Angeles.
