FFTH AVENUE NEEDS | NEW LAW TO CHECK | CONGESTION THERE Situation Now Beyond ‘Control! ‘of the Police, Says Presi- dent of Association, Congestion on Fifth avenue has! fedohed the breaking point, according to @ atatement just given out by President Robért Grier Cooke of the Fifth Avenue | Association, which has lately been weep. | ing tab on trafic, Monday, when the bad weather slack: | ened trafic, and Tuesday, which was fine, were taken as representative days | for counting the number of vehicles that Dawwed Forty-second street and Fifth avenue, with the following results for the hours named: gee. & 2 gaz 246 | 1,267 | ‘spite of ‘ihe way) the avenue has! been divided up traffic conditions are | worse than ever berore,” Mr. Cooke said. “Last Saturday between 290 and 3.90 we counted at Forty-second street 4.172 vehicles. Tuesday, between 4 and 6! DP. M., 3% vehicles passed the Thirty- | fourgh street corner. ¥ day it took me forty-two minutes to get from For- ty-ninth street to Twent, ifth street in a bus, while a private automobile made the trip in twenty minutes. The iatance is only a mile and a quarter, “The problem arises from the fact that the congestion comes at the same time in both northbound and south- ound traffic. ‘The worst hours are from 2 to 6.30 P. M. No legislation ex- dsts with which to meet the situation, and we of the association mean to frame @n ordinance which we think will do @way with trafic evils, “The Police Department has alded us Since we brought the matter to its at- tention, but It is practically impotent. “Worst of all, at this time, when the Christmas rush Is beginning, the Bureau of Highways sees fit to repair the whole of Fifth avenue, not only taking up|} @ seven-foot strip of asphalt along! the whole length, but blocking an aver- age width of easily fifteen feet with its steam-roilers, tools and wagons con- taining materials.” pelcollin” WO ‘FOUR-YEAR-OLD KILLS CHUM.
