TRAFFIC FIGURES SHOW
AUTO PUBLIC SERVANT

Some idea Of what the automobile
is rendering the American people in
the way of service can be had from
figures compiled by a two weeks
traffic census recently conducted by
the State Highway Department nf
Connecticut.
Traffic was counted at Thompson.
Vile and Greenwich, the two ex.
tremes of the New York Boston
highway through that State. BY fig
uring the value of the passenger ser
vice at the railway rate of 3.6 cents
per mile the Thompsonvllle End
showed a value Of 1927. $3.50 over q
period Of two weeks. For this same
period Of time 1856. 6.T7.04 represented
the value OF passenger service rem.
dered by motor cars at Greenwich.
For a year the passenger service N
and out of Connecticut would be
t17,23s,326.
This figure is raised to S22 ,000, 900
when approximately $1,000, 900 is
added to cover the railroad equiva-
lent Of freight service handled by
motor trucks over this one highway.
