Streets<BR><BR>This realty company advertisement from 1924 is interesting. It
shows scores<BR>of people walking through the Liberty Tunnels using four
sidewalks. In the<BR>late 1920s, early 1930s auto traffic had to be restricted
by limiting the<BR>number of vehicles in the tunnels at any given time. This was
done because<BR>many drivers were actually becoming Carbon Monoxide victims
during peak<BR>traffic periods when traffic would be standing in the tunnels.
This also<BR>brought about the installation of a ventilation system to keep the
air<BR>somewhat clean inside the tubes. I could imagine that the majority of
those<BR>pedestrians, walking through the tubes in the advertisement, would
never<BR>make out the other end do to Carbon Monoxide gas.<BR><BR><BR>On Thu,
