TT IS sowrnl years since the roiulwny In South riftecnth street between Mnrket street and South l'ciin .square wns widened by the remoial of the sidewalk to the build ing lino mid by placing a new sidewalk under mi arcade in the sttect front of the Conunercinl Trust Company's building. The experiment in street widening thus begun has been Ignored until this week, when the conimiUeo on public works of the Coun cil approved nn ordinance providing for widening Fifteenth street from South Peiin npiarc to Chestnut It is understood that the widening1 plans fnvored In the coinmlttce provide for con tinuing the mcade as far ns Chestnut street and for letuoving the existing side walk mid adding the space to the roadway. This project is complicated by the desire of the pouncllineii back of It for the erection of n City Hall Annex between Chestnut street and South Pcnn square It is not necessary to go into the merits of this phnse of the proposition. Hut it is dosirnblc to call intention to the feasibility of arcading the sulewnlks on the narrow streets as the least expetispo method of relieving trntlic congestion. This is nn expedient much mnimoner in lluropoan cities than in the I'liiled States. Visitors to 1'nris nro fnmiliar with the nrcaile rm the Kiip do Itixoli. and they hnvp been impressed by its benulv as well ns by the comfort nfforded to pedestrians iu tin pleasant went her Similar nrcaded streets in Itnlinn and Spanish cities nl-o conic to tmnd. I'ut in spite of their oliimus advan tages in the older Americnn ities. there has been no attempt to introduce them cx tciisiioly here. One has onlv to look nt the east side nf Fifteenth street adjoining the Commercial Trust building to see the effect. The side walk hns been removed for onlv a Fhort half block, but It gives nn effect of spneious ness emphasizing the narrowness of tbo roadway beyond. I'ut no general nrending plan can be e.irrnd out until the people haw- been pr pared by long discussion. Few property own. rs affected will favor such a plan when first proposed because it decreases ground llnoi areas. The point is whether the pub In ied of wider streets is greater than the nn oiii enience to property on in is.
