How this teeming, panic-stricken multi tude ever would escape from the ring of fire if it should sweep on southward to the Battery is more than anyone has ever been able to figure out. Frightening pictures have been drawn of the probable holocaust, with thousands and tens of thou- sands being driven into the waters of the East and North rivers. The Hast river bridges leading to Brook: lyn offer at least two avenues of escape from a fire starting north of the city hall, but for any conflagra- tion spreading suddenly south of that point the means of egress are limited to three underground rail- roads and a few municipal and rail- way ferries. The subways are built close to the surface and a heavy wall falling upon them would crush through the thin roofs. Ferries would be swamped in the first rush. Fire Chief Kenlon is very earnest in his warnings to the city of what might happen. At the moment, his chief concern is about traffic con- ditions in the street. Not until within the last few months has New York City had a real anti-parking law for automobiles. It has been the custom to let machines stop where they willed so-long as there was not interference with the main arteries of traffic. New that the new law is in effect, no one seems to pay much attention to it. The traffic court was jammed one day So great was the las week with more than one thou- sand offenders.
