In reality, the use of these words form a misnomer, s nine times out of ten, when such eriticism 1s justified, the complained of section was not “laid out" at all but just happened to grow that way. Whether New Hritain's center and nearby streets were laid out following a comprehensive plan of the ly settlers, or whether the street cente was designated and the streets around it left to pick themselves out of the landscape, is a matter that is not worth discussing at this late day. The fact is, we find them as they are and will have to muke the best of it. New Britain is suffering from the “mame allment as Hartford and other cities pinched by serious downtown traWfic conditions, It is apparent that | there are not enough main thorough- | fares for the use of automobiles from varjous sections of the city: in going | west trom the center virtually all autos take West Main street; in going north or south from the center there appears to be no alternative than to | use Main street. In going east there | is a chance for sclecling scveral routes, | Too much trafic sections of the city is compelled to| find its way past the center, which | naturally adds to the congestion. When it is realized that the city is | in a fair way to continue - rapialy, end that the total of automo- bileg will increase sven more rapidl | it is clear that our traffic problems will increase with the years, What is to ba done about it is something to worry about; and some time, when the city approaches the 106,000 population mark or goes beyond, somehing radi- cal will have to be proposed and exe- cuted, as jak been the case in various other cities which have been confront- ed with similar problems. Incidentally the solving problems along radical lines, such as lée opening or widening of strects, will cost much money, as many another clty has learned. The city right now nceds more of what are known as inlets and outlets. Too much traffic is being concentrated upon a few streets. present are the logical and most con- growing | of venlent thoroughfares for traffic and | likewlse are the most direct and bhest paved. Motorists maturally gyrate npon these routes and will continue to do so until alternate made equally attractive. How to provide such alternate routes in New Britain is believed more of a problem than the same thing is in | Hartford. Virtually all motorists have thought of possible improvements but opinions vary considerably. Tn addi- tlon, nothing of moment has been at- tempted so far and traflic continues to : heart of the city evenually {ncrease in the very te such an extent will become the despair of the traflie | officials. The attempt of tha city government that it to improve street conditions sufficient- Iy to lure trafiic coming from the di- rection of Hartford to reach downtown sections through Eim strect, instead of through Hartford avenue, is a begin- | ning that offers possibilities. The plan looks particularly attractive of the map; in fact, Elm street appears to be the shortest of all routes from this direction; but at the point whero auto- | {sts coming to the city could take the | Fim strest route they are inclined tof follow the more travelled street and to find themselves in the vortex of a more crowded thoroughfare, The way to break the habit is to have the al- ternate route as well paved and as at- tractive as the habitnal route, the city administration has done well in making a heginning in this direc- and between various | such | These streets at | routes are | | telling Jally if &t the same time he ean Aol With this fae too difeult congestion e, it should not be in ' ' A fow years, 1o make a start in (T could function betler liverting 1 o strevts thit at press t but de not Irivers prefer to avoid them ahenever possibie AD 1O MARRIED LI N lomestio rela HWeitain hae no tion urt, but the proseeuting attors probation ofticer combine ney wil the 1 form & protty good ex-offieiul court stieh disputes. he settlement of 1t is statod that ninety married per cent of the cases hotweon people fled in this ety never reach the spote Hght of the ecourtrovin becansy of Lhe uting attorney and efforts of the pre the probation oficer wisdom of persnuding hatehet cases out of ten success Solomon s exvrelsed in militant couples to burey the and i nine ttends the effors Which and the probition officer have a high indieates that the prosecutor conception of thelr duties and are do- the suffer- which some ing their best to alleviate 1ngs of domestic warfare, cxynies claim dre us devastating, at least mentally, ns reguine warfare, | 1t aiso indicates that demestic quar | yets | grounds, which easily can be adjusted are more often bused upon trivial | by the oxercise of common sense and | tair play. | such w dispute have cooled down and ! have had time to weigh their short- ! cominga, they realize that one side is !as much to blame ,as the other and are willing to make up and be happy.

The Dawes report will fail, it is stated, un- less France agrees to the British and American terms. American bankers helped France during the franc crisis, and now have every reason to insist on terms for the floating of a loan which will make it possible to provide necessary security in Germany. The British and Ameri- can conception is that ¥rance cannot be allowed to impalr that security once it is established.
