J. 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."

XzP Building Sites
A building site is unproductive se
long as it remains merely a building
site.
Put something en it, and it helps
you as well as the community. Many
a building site in Philadelphia lies
idle, merely taking up space and
doing nothing else.
A row of houses some stores an
apartment house an office building
a moving picture theatre many
are the valuable uses te which an idle
plot of ground may be put.
In many instances we have taken
idle ground, and started it working.
