yesterday on all but perishable pro—

HARTFORD. Aug. 9,—7“One-way
roads throughout the state connecting
all leading cities will be the only so
lution for the menacing problem of
our over-crowded roads." said Com-
missioner Robbins B. Stoeckel, of the'
Department of Motor Vehicles. yester-
day. when asked if the widening of
state roads would solve the problem'
of the overcrowded trunk highwayof
the state.
The commissioner stated that the
widening of the roads in this state
would afford no lasting benefit, for the ;
number of motor vehicle owners in-
creased so rapidly each year that it
would eventually be necessary to
classify pleasure. commercial and;
“profession" cars and to bar each
class from ‘t roads on certain days
or hours mom in order to keep
traffic moving. ‘
