Maxwell Smith, secretary of the Keystone Automobile flub, cnltl today tlint the plan under consideration In New Yerk It an excellent one, nnd lias went possibilities. "There nre n great number of tie tailn. eald Mr, Smith, "that wen'. enter Inte constructing fitch n garage, but en the face of It. the plan leeks like a capital Idea. It has w mderful possibilities, nnd If successful In New Yerk It would undoubtedly be sticces-,- Mr. Smith said he would write Im mediately for details of the plan te Dr. Jehn R. Harris, Special Deputy Com Cem Com relfslencr of Police of New Yerk, who presented the plnn. What New Yerk rfans te De The proposed gnrnge under Central Pnrk nt Fifty-ninth street nnd Fifth avenue would enre for ,'10,0(111 curs while the one under Jlrynnt Park, at Fifth avenue nnd Forty -(second street, would accommodate -1000 cars. According te the plnn, the cost of construction would be absorbed by the rental charge within n few years. Kane S. Greene, president of the Au tomobile Club of Philadelphia, wni much Interested In the New Yerk plan. "I happen te knew," he snid, "that experiments of this sort have proved successful abroad. My son told me upon his return from Europe that he had -een the plan In operation in several cities of the Continent, netnbly the German cities, I 'Tt scorns that if this plan could be worked out In Philadelphia it would allevlate greatly our present traffic dlf fleultles. Ter nunc reason the Idea has ; never been pushed here, but it would lucent n solution for ninny parking dlf-lli-ultlca. Sile Is Dig Problem The chief difficulty -here would be In eiuiiilng suitable ground for the pur- ip, 1 see no reason why the space . "iicntli the Parkway could net be ex- a rated, as for n subway. We hare also I our city park", many of them located uenr the center of the city. It would he merely n mnttcr of digging down deep , enough te nreid Injury te the trees and plnntH above. "Certainly we will hare te de some thing, sooner or Inter. There is no loom ter paining en tlie streets new, ml they nre se narrow thnt nil the sitnte tlie construction of n special ' illding en ground Hint might be uted for ether purposes, while the latter would make um of underground space new lying idle." However, Elwood Chapman, president of4he Chestnut Street Association, does net see thnt the building of underground garages offers any solution of the traffic problems of Philadelphia, "The plan hns been suggested here before," said Mr. Chapman, "but there is n geed deal of point in nsklng where the garages might be put. Te put them underneath the streets would take an enormous cost ns much ns te build n subway, Besides that could net be done without Interfering with the subway sys tems that have been projected nnd, we hope, will sonic day be carried out. "Te put them in Washington and Franklin Squares would mean cutting down nil of the trees In these srpinrcs and robbing them of much of their at at niespliere mid beauty. "I think the erection of n few garages uiicre motorists might park their cars nt n small sum per day at suitnble prints downtown would improve the sit uation. These might be mnde into u very profitnble private enterprise. "Mere than anything else I think we lifed n little mere tolerance and under standing en the pnrt of the motorists. They must be made te sec thnt it is they, nfter nil who are responsible for the traffic problems." . BEAUVAIS MOVIE STAR Stlllman Guide Writes and Produces Motion Picture New Yerk, Dec. 22. Fred K.
