To bo lined for INQUIRIES INVITED THE FIRST National Bank of Salt Lake City SUGAR HOUSE BRANCH Plana for removal of tracks and further expansion of modern were outlined by the Utah Light and Traction company at a public hearing before the state public service commission today,. The company's proposals, de signed to meet the cttya growing urban transportation requirements, were presented before all mem bers of the commission at the state capitol. Cost of the 1040 improvements, as outlined by George B. Thomas, of the company, will be approximately 1115,000 (60,000 of which will be fof track removal and $55,000 for purchase of 10 new, latest model buses. The new buses, Mr Thomas said, will have a seating capacity of 29 passengers, an increase of 38 per cent over the capacity of the buses now in use. The proposals presented by the company are outlined as follows: 1. Replacement of street cars by modern bus service on Route 8 during the entire week instead of on Sundays, holidays and even ing periods. (This route extends from the business district to Fir th South on Main street, thence to Seventh East and South to Seventh to the terminus at 33rd South.) 2. Removal of tracks and over head wires on Seventh East be tween 27th and 33rd South; on Ninth South, between Seventh East and Eleventh East; on Elev enth East between Ninth South and Sugar House and on High land Drive between the D. St R. G. crossing south of Sugar House to the terminus at 27th South and Highland Drive. 3. Interconnection of Route 10 and Route 8 with larger capacity buses to anticipate the needs for additional service on this line. (This route proceeds from busi ness district on Second South to Tenth East, thence via Tenth East, Fifth South and Eleventh East, through Sugar House to the terminus at 33rd South and Highland Drive.) 4. Removal of tracks on Fifth South between University Stadl um and 13th East In cooperation with the state road commission, University and Salt Lake City on the state's contemplated improve ments on the state highway on this street. During football season the patrons will be handled by bus to the stadium. Mr. Thomas testified that with the completion of these improvements only Route 5, extending east from the business district on First South to Thirteenth East thence south to Ninth South, would remain a street car line. He explained the company was making a study of the peculiai traffic conditions on this route occasioned by the heavy loads during peak periods from colleges and high schools and wished to experiment with its larger bus equipment on other routes before removing the tracks on the line. The track removal program for 1940 has been approved by Salt Lake City commission, Mr. vice-preside- nt Under Way May Solve Difficulty. DAYTON, OHIO. Two army air corps officers at Wright Held are conducting seemingly impossible experiments with an airplane that lands automatically. The success of the experiments may mean pilotless landings for the air liners of the future. Already their experimental plane has made many successful automatic landings, but they state that the new device la still imperfect and they are constantly making changes and improvements. The first landing was made in August, 1937. Cants. Carl Crane and George V. Holloman with Raymond Stout, a civilian engineer, had Just begun their experiment, but they tried it out and everything worked perfectly. To effect the landings without the "human touch," the three inventors have combined the principles of "blind flying apparatus and the "gyro pilot" "Blind flying" instruments are based on the radio directional beam and compass. The "gyro pilot" keeps a plane on even keei by utiliz ing gravitational principles. The experimenters have been using a military plane that is similar to a transport ship. Their goal is to combine the radio and gyro Instruments and make a mechanical device which will duplicate all movements of a pilot in landings. The automatic landing system is Intended to eliminate "pilot error" In landings. An pilot today must keep an eye on many instruments even on a routine flight, and if one is not in order a faulty landing may result Crane and Holloman have been making automatic landings several times a week. Until they reach the airport they are guided by radie compass. Then the automatic landing machinery is turned on and the plane lands by itself. The work of the experimenters has not gone unobserved. Last year they were awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for their experimental work.
