"Congestion in our metropolitan areas is costing car owners millions of dollars annuaJiy and this problem is one deserving of attention on the part of all of our affiliated clubs. · ..The chairman of the new committee, Mr. Hayes, has had a vast amount of experience in this work, and I am certain that he will formulate plans which will go a long way toward relieving traffic congestion." Wh~n Mr. Hayes was informed of his appointment on this committee, he said: Need a.tt. Facilitkt. .. It is hardly necessary to draw attention to the need for more adequate traffic facilities · beyond reference to the rush hour congestion in any large American city. Traffic congestion takes ' on a more formidable aspect, however, when we consider in detail some of its economic effects. "The commercial efficiency of a city is impaired by anything that limits the utility of the streets and the convenience of their use. All business activity is more or less affected by congestion. An enormous amount of money is involved in ·the operation of the various forms of street transportation, and considering the magnitude of this daily operation .cost, it is apparent that tremendous savings would be effected by even a moderate reduction in delays. "In Chicago alone, a ten tier cent reduction in traffic delays would mean a saving of twenty-seven million doll~rs in one year, as was shown by Miller McClintock's recent survey.

It has been found, too, that providing well paved routes which parallel the heavily traveled arteries, thus spread.. ing tiJ,e flow of vehicles over two or .three streets instead of one, tends to relieve congestion. Urp Co-operatioa · "The American Automobile association urges all affiliated clubs throughout the country to assist city planners and the various governmental units in working for wider streets and highways. The establishment of a committee _on ~id~r highways and grade separatton 10d1cates that the national orga.n!zation considers such work of prim~ importance, not only in metropolitan areas, but in smaller communities as well. Observation of the conditions in small towns traversed by main trunk lines proves the need of widened highways and of grade separations."
