Chamber in Favor of Inquiry
 Into Trolley Rerouting
ROAD IS WILLING TO HELP
Commercial Men Pass Resolutions De- msnding Scientific Investigation of Transportation Lines-Wish to
 Prevent Traffic Congestion.

New Haven - Resolutions placing the Chamber Of Commerce on record as in favor of a scientific iuyestiga- ton of the trolley transportation sub iect in New Haven, with the object of rerouting the lines and establishing transfer points to meet the require ments of the future, and equalize and uphold land values as far as possible, were passed at the monthly meeting. The introduction Of Hand values" into these resolutions puts an element into the local transportation problem that has never been considered publicly before, and gill undoubtedly open up big question for discussion. Accord ing 10 George Dudley Seymour. who, with Lewis 5. Weleh. chairman of the committee on town and city improve ments, drafted these resolutions, 1t is held by experts on city planning that the concentration Of traffic at one place, so that property in that locality becomes extraordinarily valuable as compared with other property In the city, Is conductive to congestion and is bad for the city. One of the results of a scientific transportation system here would, it is probable. be the re- moval from Church and Chapel streets of part of the transfer traffic, which would probably have the effect of in creasing the business district These plans for scientific investigation Of the transportation problem have been approved by Vice-President Lueius F storrs Of the New Haven road, who has charge of the local trolley system, and he has promised to take steps for such an investigation when asked by the Board of Aldermen.
