SYDNEY STREET TRAFFIC.

PROBLEM OF REGULATION. A PUZZLE FOR EXPERTS. [FBOM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] SYDNEY. Sept. 21. The problem of Sydney's traffic is to be the subject of yet another big conference toward the end of the month. In the process of time something may come of these gatherings of experts. The trouble is that Sydney's streets are growing no larger and its population is growing no smaller. Perhaps after a few doten people have been killed in a batch in Pitt Street or at some of the suicidal corners which abound, after struggling to side-step trams, motor-cars or motor-lor-ries, something will really be done. The difficulty Is that streets which were laid out, or allowed simply to grow up back in the early days, now have to carry 50 times more traffic in an hour than they did all day back in that period. The problem i/> to find more avenues to carry the traffic, and, more important still, to find the money to effect the necess&ry resumptions. In the meantime, the citizens of Sydney who have to move about the city at its busiest parts and in its busiest hours are becoming noted for their clever manoeuvring in dqdging the traffic.
