Freeways are shortening travel times despite steadily increasing vehicle registration in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area, a recent Automobile Club of Southern California travel time study reveals. Although there has been an 11 percent increase in the number of vehicles in the area since 1957, it is somewhat easier to drive around now than it was three years ago, thanks largely to the addition of 47.5 miles of freeway to the system. The five-day study, conducted by the auto club's engineering department in June, covered 342 miles of surface streets and #reeways over 17 routes from various suburban areas to downtown Los Angeles. Test runs were made during morn- ing and evening peak hours. Overall average speed was found to be 26 miles per hour as against 24 m.p.h. when a similar test was made over sub- stantially the same routes during June 19i 7. Most striking gains in average speeds were recorded in areas served by the Ventura, Harbor and Long Beach freeways. One route utilizing 27 miles of the Ventura and Hollywood freeways permitted an average speed of 33 m.p.h. This com- pares with an average speed of only 22 m.p.h. over a comparable route in 1957. Another route utilizing 19 miles on the Harbor Freeway and Figueroa Street permitted an average speed of 42 m.p.h. in 1960 as against 33 m.p.h. in 1957. "In approximately 18 months to 2 years motorists can look forward to even more relief and still better travel time with the completion of the freeway loop bypassing the four-level interchange," points out John McDonald, auto club engineer. "The loop formed by the Golden State and Santa Monica freeways is now entirely under construction, with two links completed."

  • Preambule Aux Commentaires Sur Le Budget 1961

The speed at which this programme is being carried out, which determines the rate of expenditure and therefore the annual budgets, was first estimated in 1959. At this time the annual contribution ceiling was fixed by the CERN Council at 65 million Swiss francs for the years 1960, 1961 and 1962. It is worth recalling that is was towards the end of November 1959, just before the meeting of the CERN Council, that the CERN Proton Synchrotron accelerated protons to full energy and it has only been during the course of 1960 that the full financial implications of the experimental programme of this machine have become apparent. In making the predictions in 1959 for the rate of expenditure of the laboratory assumptions were made of the rate at which the CPS would be brought into service as a nuclear physics tool. Certain reserves were prudently put in the budget to cover the case that the experimental programme of the CPS would be in advance of the estimated programme. Part of this reserve was removed in fixing the ceiling of the three year period, part was eaten up by the steadily rising prices, and only by strict internal economies were some items, unfore• seen at the time of making the 1960 Budget, covered in the course of this year.

Preliminary monthly esti- mates of the level of strike (or lockout) activity for the United States as a whole are issued about 30 days after the end of the month of reference and are available upon request. Preliminary estimates for the entire year are available at the year's end; selected final tabulations are issued in April of the following year. The methods used in preparing work stoppage statistics are described in appendix B. The Bureau wishes to acknowledge the coopera- tion of employers and employer associations, labor unions, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and various State agencies in furnishing information on work stoppages.

Most of the photographs are undated, but it appears from the departmental stamps on the backs that they were taken about August 1955. The original purpose for which these photographs were intended is unclear; they may have been used to comply with requirements governing federal funding of hospitals.
