COSTLY TO LONDON Millions of Dollars Lost Yearly by (ongestion in Streets London, July 11.—Twenty million | pounds annually 1s thrown to the winds as the result of traffic delays and congestion on the streets of Lon- | don, according to experts in the art of statistics. This huge sum, which is said to bé a conservative estimate, is sufficient, however, to arouse the in- | dignation of many London news- papers and to open a campaign against the present plight of the | street traffic. l | The members for London in the| House of Commons have agreed to take the matter up and present a bill | designed to regulate all classes of tratfic in the city. The most difficult problem in Lon- | don is that of the omnibus and other heavy motor lorries. There are about 3,700 passenger buses in operation in the city, and the number is steadily increasing. The congested traffic has caused a considerable loss to the bus owners, as it is impossible for the ma- chines to make any speed through the maize of other vehicles. The situation is becoming .worse according to the newspapers, and it now takes a bus| thiee minutes longer to traverse the | Strand, about a half mile in length, | than it did six months ago. ‘\ A report shows that 63,600 vehicles | pass Hyde Park Corner every 12 hours beginning at eight o'clock in the morning, while Picadilly Circus sc- counts for 43,200 and Trafalgar Square for 41,000. At the present time only in the ecity of London proper, an area of léss than a square mile, is heavy trafiec pro- hibited on some of the maln streca. On all other streets any class of ve. hicle may wander at its own will. There have been many attempts by royal commissions andeseelct commit. tees to deal with the problem, but these have béen unable to find a solu. tion.
