UNDERGROUND ROADS
PARIS TRAFFIC S PROBLEM LONDON, 22nd July. Paris is likely to be the first city in the world to solve the traffic problem by the construction of underground highways. The Paris correspondent of the "Daily Mail" says the City Council has decided to open a competition for the best architectural scheme of underground roadways reserved exclusively for motor traffic and foot passengers. The roadways will be flanked by special tunnels, containing moving belts, which will be used to transfer goods from one part of the city to another, thus avoiding the need of heavy, cumbersome service vehicles, which'are chiefly responsible for the present traffic blocks.
