The architect teported that It could be done and In a manner which would add rather than detract from the appearance of the avenue If the estate was willing to spend about ISiO.fiHO in inakilisr ovi the houses.

No objection waa offered, (specially when the executors saw the tratisf.irma-1 tlon which the ir.in.iy would make In the eld houses. The alteration is now completed.

Inauranc. MOr.TO.tr.K I.O.VNn. I I WANT CARS TAKEN OFF MADISON AVE, Only Wny to Itcliovo Traffic Congestion, Sny Residents nnd Shoppers. Traffic conditions on Madison nvcnuo north of street, always bad, reached such a deplorablq Unto last week as a rcnult" of tho recent snowfall Mint many property owners nnd business people In tho vicinity and residents of the upper Kast who have to use tho Madison nvenue car lines expressed the greatest Indignation nnd demanded a change In the situation, which rapidly Is becoming unbearable. During tho afternoon hours of heavy tratllc Madison nvenue from Forty-second to Forty-eighth street becomes impassable, nnd It is usul occurrence for cars In both directions to be held up for hnlf hour or moro In those few blocks on account of the Jam of vehicles.

After every heavy snowstorm the difficulties of travel uro greatly Increased. When tho recent storm Impeded tho progress of vehicles on Fifth nvenue many turned Into Madison avenue, adding to the already heavy trafllc and bringing It practically to a standstill. Trafllc policemen declare that In their experience they have nctr seen worte congestion than that on Madison avenue during the last ten days, but unless some lemedy Is provided nt once they expect such a state of affairs lo become a regular thing In view of the growing veh'eular tratllc In that part of the city. While those who hnve the making of tratllc rules hao been giving much thought to a solution of the Madison avenue problem without finding a solution, other people, viewing tho matter 'only from tho point of oervlco to the public, havo suggested several solutions, one of which seems particularly worth while. It Is to take the street cars off Madison avenue entirely south of llfith street, thereby giving the city another wide avenue running north and nouUi for Its vehicular traffic.

This plan further contemplates the turning of the Madison avenue cars Into Ix-xlngton avenue from Forty-second to UCth utreet. For this plan there are many recommendations. Ity giving Madison nve-nu entirely to vehicles It would relievo tho city of the necessity of providing I some other means for taking care of the overflow of tratllc on Fifth avenue. Two plans In this respect aro now before the local authorities. Ono calls for the widening of Fifth avenue, and Is Impracticable because of the cost of acquiring Fifth avenue frontage.

The other contemplates building a serlci ot four roadways under Fifth avenue frnni Twenty-third to Fifty-ninth street, WAR Xon-produccrs of cYcry kind, aged people, infirm, convalescent or retired, must sec the patriotism, wisdom and personal comfort of spending the cold winter months in Southern Florida.

Homo englnoers have approved this plan, but the city Is too poor to build It now, nnd probably will bo for mntiy yenrs. In fact, any plnn for relief adopted will liavo to bo ono cnlHng for llttlo expense, and that Is ono of trie chief recommendations for the scheme to tnke cam off Madison avenue, for It will entail no cost nt nil, It Is pointed out that tho number of people living between Forty-second nnd 116th eust of Fifth nvcnuo who use the Madison nvenue cars hi comparatively small, and they could bo better served If they had to walk nn extra short block or two ncross town Mirouaii the saving In time that would result from sending nvenue, cnr.s up and down Lexington avenue. Ono of the principal causes of congestion on Madl.

son avenue Is the heavy crosstown trafllc nt nnd near tho tlrnnd Central station. Forty-second street, west of Park nvenue, suffers from conditions that nro especially bud, and cnuso much of tho confusion anil delay throughout the district. Hut practically all of the, tlrand Central trattlc. Is on the west side of the big terminal, which means Mint If Madison avenue cars were turned Into Lexington nxenuo they could have practically a clear road uptown. They would not be Impeded ns they aro now by frequent delays caused by the many vehicles that cruss Madison nvenue seeking to get to or from Park avenue.

Mnny property owners nnd business people on Madison aNcniio regard with fnvor taking the cars off Mm avenue. Som; point to the probablo unwillingness of tho railroad company to ncccdn to the plan, while others suggest that the saving In time nnd better service to patror.s possible under the operntlon of Madison avenue cnia on Lexington nvenue would more Minn compensate the company for making the change.
