The Problem of the Standing Vehicle

T his own store door, Merchant A benefits only by to traffic. Everywhere else in his trade territory, facilities for through traffic in his direction have a direct bearing on his prosperity. But in this same region are located Merchants B to Z, each of whom is interested in attracting a maximum of traffic to his store door, but feels little concern for facilitating traffic to the door of Merchant A. The conflict of these warring interests lies at the root of the problem of the standing vehicle. As in many another problem of modern city life, a solution would be reached more speedily if we could eliminate selfishness from human nature, and replace conflict with cotiperation. But, as is also true of these other problems, a kindly willingness to see things through the other fellow's eyes will not suffice; there must be the scientific approach which will substitute real insight into the problem for a mere point of view about it. It was for these reasons that The American City undertook some months ago, with the co6peration of a group of city planners and traffic consultants, to draft a set of principles which might aid municipal officials and business men in formulating local policies as to the parking and storage of automobiles, and the facilitation of street traffic and transportation. In suggesting this study these two questions were propounded: (a) Must our expanding cities look forward to constantly growing expenditures of staggering amounts for street widenings, sidewalk arcades, elevated and underground traffic ways, and other devices for permitting more and more automobiles to move-and parkin downtown business streets? (b) On the other hand, can our progressive business men no longer build big retail shops, theatres and other structures where the crowds congregate, with reasonable expectation that the city will somehow make it possible for their customers to continue to arrive-and park-by automobile? A statement of principles built up by The American City, with the adviceand, in most cases, the consent-of the collaborators' is here embodied in the paragraphs set in italic type; the rest of the present article comprises comments or additional data from various sources which may serve either to fortify the recommendations made or to present other points of view.

Notes On Festvs

In the Teubner edition, just published, I had to reduce the apparatus criticus to the smallest possible dimensions. All conjectures that were merely probable and not fairly certain had to be excluded. Some of them that are new may find a place here. There is only one MS. of Festus′ epitome of Verrius. It is now at Naples, and is said to have been found in Illyria. Dr. E. A. Loew, the leading authority on Italian script, tells us that it was written at Rome towards the end of the eleventh century. It must have been rescued (in Illyria?) from a fire; for the outer edges of all the pages are burned away, so that the greater part of the outer of the two columns on each page has been lost. The chief task for editors is to fill up by conjecture these gaps in the outer columns. Scaliger won immortal fame in this work, although many of his conjectures merely followed out a suggestion of his predecessor, Augustini. Ursini and Miiller were of service in adapting to the conditions of space the stop-gaps of Scaliger, and both of them, chiefly Miiller, added excellent conjectures of their own. The conjectural supplements, printed in italics in Müller's edition, have often, especially in German students′ dissertations, been treated as if they were actually part of the text. The Hungarian editor, Emil Thewrewk, who first provided satisfactory manuscript material for Paulus′ epitome of Festus, in order to prevent this error, took the extreme course of omitting these supplements in his edition; although many of them are made absolutely certain by the words of Paulus. I have taken a middle course between Miiller and Thewrewk and have admitted the certain and the probable supplements, leaving blanks elsewhere. The supplements are printed within angular brackets, the merely probable supplements being in italic type.

Memoirs of some Actions in which Collonel John Birch was engaged. Written by his Secretary.

[The text is given with the corrections, additions, and alterations of Colonel Birch, printed in italic type: the original reading being subjoined at the foot of the page. Where there is no mark of reference, the italic word or passage is inserted by him.There seems reason to snrmise that the MS. now printed is not the autograph of Roe, and that it may possibly hare been transcribed after his departure for Ireland. Blanks occur from time to time, as though the copyist had failed to decipher the original—perhaps very illegibly written—and had no opportunity of referring to the author; and mistakes may be found in punctuation, which could hardly have arisen except in the process of somewhat unintelligent transcription. The more remarkable of these have been indicated in the foot-notes.]
