HIGHWAYS BUILT FOR FAST GOING| - ldchstccentylluoml ‘Most Nodern Roads New York, Dec. 7 M—Opening of the Hutchinson River Parkway in ‘Westchester county points the way to the solution of one of the great est traffic problems common to cities throughout the country—construc- tion of highways in suburban areas te insure & steady flow of traffic at high The “bottle-neck” condition found at the entrance to large cities, where traffic must move at a snail's pace along narrow roads intersected by numerous crossroads, is not limited to any one section of the country. It is a situation which more than & score of cities have sought to remedy. The new Hutchinson River Park- ‘way, recently opened to traffic, “by-passes” the congested areas of cities along the Boston Post road Just out of New York, provides four lanes to insure movement of traffic at the rate of 35 miles an hour, and by means of grade separations cuts out the old time crossroad’s conges- tion. The new parkway, 11 milea in length, was created by the Westches- ter county park commission to re- lieve congestion on the Boston Post road, which is the heaviest travelled thoroughfare between New York and New England. The route permits the motorist to avold the congested centers of Rye, Harrison, Mamaro- neck, Larchmont and New Rochelle, ‘while the old road led through the business centers of these communi- ties, slowing down through traffic. Automobiles traveling on inter- secting roads do not halt tratfic on the main thoroughfare since they are sent across the road on over- head arch bridges. All railroad grade crossings have also been eliminated in this way. There are no heavy grades or sharp curves on the new highways, Attractive landscaping has been considered an integral part of the project. Trees and plants have been put in along the road to aid in its beautification. Signboards and fillings stations are prohibited by law. Similar movements are under- way in other large cities to reach & solution tp the same problem. ‘Wayne county, including the city of Detroit, in Michigan, is continu- ing its Woodward avenue exten- son, which is a through boulevard with grade separations accommo- dating commercial and passenger motor tratfic as well as -trolley lines. Philadelphia now has a tri-state federation working on a program for that erea. Chicago is extend- ing its outer drive on the lake- front. Boston recently complett ed a traffic survey of its metro- politan area and St. Louis has au- thorized . elaborate plans for street and parkway development. The value of developing these suburban entrances to the cities is emphasized. by the report of the ‘Westchester County Park Commis- sion that land values in that area have increased a half billion dol- lars since it started the building of a scries of modern highways throughout that section in 1922, REAL ESTATE NEWS An assignment of a mortgage on Greenwood street property .from the Ctty National bank to Nicola Saler- ni, was filed today at the office of the town clerk.

STAGES A RALLY Comes Back in Snpport o0 \ nmg Board” New York, Dec. 7 (M—The curb market encountered today a heavy accumulation of overnight selling orders which carried prices sharply lower at the opening, but support came into the market toward mid- day, In response to improvement on the “big board.” The drastic break brought heavy selling from the ‘n- terior by traders who did not get their orders into the market before the close. A call money renewal rate of 10 per cent for the first time in 8 years caused uneasiness after yesterday's rencwal rate of 9 had been stepped up to 12. Persistent commission house ad- vices of late to buy on breaks, how- ever, brought in some public buying which was an aid to pools in their efforts to stem the tide of sclling. By 1 o'clock a number of losses had been reduced and some turned into net gains. A number of the high priced fs- sues dropped from 5 points to a maximum loss of 20 points in Tu- bize, Deere lost 12 and U. 8. Gyp- sum 8 points, while Sparks With- ington, Walgreen, Todd Shipyards and others slumped about 5 points each. The new Royal Baking shares went forward more than a point.

Early de- clines of 3 to 20 points were large- ly made 1p by mid-day, and a long list of issues were marked up to 10 points above yesterday's final quo- tations in the afternoon trading. Sales were in enormous volume, with the ticker nearly half an hour | behind the market at mid-day. | The recovery was stimulated by indications of easing credit condi- tions. Although call loans renewed | at 10 per cent, the highest opening | rate in eight years, a plentiful sup- | pany fs marketing 2,800,000 shares at par in London. BOND ACTIVTY 1S IN SELLING Declines in Market Run as Great as Six Points New York, Dec, T (M—Activity was chiefly on the selling side in early bond market trading today. Declines ran as great as ¢ points, , (although mosts of them were con- fined to fractions. A few issues made small gains, but the general list yielded to selling encouraged by credit conditions and the break on the stock market. Andes Copper 7s led the early de- cline with a loss of 6 points. Colon Oil 6s, Public Service of New Jer- sey 4 1-2s, Barnsdall 6s, Loew's 6s, and Pan-American Petroleum 6s showed declines of 1 to 3 points. In- ternational Cement 5s, a few sugar issues, American Telephone 4s and Columbus Gas & Electric 58 moved upward against the trend, but turn- overs and gains were small. Rails generally sought lower levels. The foreign list was easier. U. 8. government obligations were | somewhat improved. |May Build N. E. Highway on Stilts Hartford, Dec. 7 (#)—A four lane conerete highway, built on stilts, and extending from the New York state line in the vicinity of Greenwich and passing through Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford, and con- | tinuing to the Massachusetts state line in the general direction of Bos- ton, is said to be under consideration and may find its way into the next general assembly for authorization. The highway, if built, would, it is understood, be in the nature of a private venture which would be paid for by means of tolls collected when automobiles are admitted to the highway. Entrance to the road- way, it is said. would be by means of ramps constructed at points of particular vantage, and it would be at these points that tolls would be collected for the users of the road- way. Charles J. Bennett, former state highway commissioner, and now a Hartford consulting engineer, is un- derstood to have been retained by the promoters for the preliminary work in connection with the plan. Blue Uniforms at Governor’s Inaugural Hartford, Dec..7 (M—The olive drab uniform will give way io the ante-bellum blue and gold braid for the first time in 12 years at the in- augural ball of Gov.

Mistook Wife for “Friend” Judge Hears | Dridgeport, Dec. T (M—Esther DBrown McConnell told Judge Ernest C. Simpson in superior court today that her husband, Olin Mec- Connell, an automobile salesman of | this city, came home intoxicated and under fhe impression that his wife | was “one of his friends” kissed her |and when he discovered his mis- take, beat her and forced her to seek protection in another room of | their home. This incident was one of many recited by Mrs. McConnell on her testimony. She was granted a divorce. Judge Elsner Bids $412,500 for Courthouse Hartford, Dec. 7 (P—An offer of $412,500 for the county court house on Trumbull street, made by Judge Solomon Elsner, was the only one | received by the county commission- ers up to noon today when the bids, if any, were to be opened. The commissioners refected Judge Els- ner's bid. The old courthouse, built in 1883, will be vacated in a month or two for the new county building on Washington street, and the Trumbull street -property has been on the market several months. At the time the new court house was started it was estimated that the old court house tould be sold for ap- proximately $700,000, but in three years property - at the Trumbull, Allyn and Pratt corners apparently appreciated to such an extent that at & meeting of the county legs- lators a few months ago it was re- ported the court house and site should have a value of a million dolhn ' READ HERALD OLASGIFIED ADS ply of funds appeared at that fig- ure, leading to hopes of a lowering in the rate. Receipts of $5,000,000 in | gold from Canada, coupled with predictions that the current h\llow; may reach $30,000,000, also helped | to turn the tide of speculative senti- ment. Several of the large commission houses, which previously had been advising caution in the making of new commitments, took a bullish position on the market on the theory that yesterday’s decline had correct- ed, at least temporarily, the weak- ened technical position of the mar- ket. A brisk demand for stocks de- veloped from the *“sold out bulls” who had been waiting for a favor- able opportunity to get back into the market.
