When the traffic officials announced, about two weeks ago, that an entirely different method of turns was to be given a trial. considerable opposition developed among motorists, wha feared that any change in the funda- mental principle of making turns would only be confusing to the traffic situation. Mr. Eldridge said he would like to have the opinion of the members of the citizens’ associations regarding the proposed plan and thgt he also would seek the opinion of tfaffic authorities in principal cities of the United States where the plan now is in_operation. In the same letter Mr. Eldridge also asked the views of the civic leaders s to whether street cars should stop before crossing the seven boulevard intersections at which there still is @ difference of opinion between the rallvay companies and the traffic office. The traffic director also sought the views of citizens as to whether safety zones for street car passengers on Fourteenth street designated by the painting of white lines on the street are desirable. The latter two questions are to be considered at a public hear- ing before the Public Utilities Com mission on September 16. e Steel Magnate Dies. CHICAGO, September 4 (£).—S.
