<DIV><BR></DIV>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>
