H. M. Lane, the engineer, has mapped out a plan for the virtual construction of an underground city, where automobilon could travel back and forth in spocial auto tunnels, where they could park in plonty of space, where pedestrians could cross birouts unmolested and where trucks could deliver 'heir freight without; delaying traffic.

According to Lane's plans, tho underground city could bo tun- nelled without hindranco to acti vities on the surface. Tunnelling could start from the outskirts of town, so that all dirt could be taken out through the excavated paria

In Detroit, Lane sava thle under ground oity could be dug to a depth of 10 stories, with autos for long and short cistanca taking different lovals, and pro- viding several floors for parking. Thun, this city could be dug beneath the centre of town, with parking areas under parks and squares.

PAY FOR ITSELF.

The project would pay, he adds, if the city would dofor taxation to the interests undertaking the job, and would permit low park- bosides other charges, ing sources for revenue, liko advor- tising and space rontale.

"Such a system would take a vast amount of foot traffic from the streets," Lano adde. "I would construo either moving alden alks or small electric rail- ways 60 foot below the surface. Most department stores would be glad to sink their elevator shafts to this lovel.

"Imagino then a sories of broad passages, occupying tho entire width of the down- town stroots, all interlock

connected with ling, and all

stares, hotels, thoatres and public buildings by olevatore-the whole serios amply lighted and with no street cara or vehicle traffic to interfere with the fron movement of pedestrians."
