ALL YEAR DRIVING
 INCREASING FAST
Registration Early in Year Re fleets Changes in Condition

Hartford. May 2 - Further evi- dence of the growing popularity of all-year driving of motor vehicles in Connecticut Is given by the quarter ly statement of the state motor ve- hicle department for the first three months of this year. It shows that the registration of motor vehicles in the opening quarter of this year alone exceeded by approximately 1,500 the registration for the entire year 1923.
 Both commercial and private cars figured in the gain, but tLere was a greater proportionate ga,n in the former class. of which there we're actually $500 more registered for use at the close of the first quar- ter of 1927 than at the end of 1923. The registration of private cars for the quarter fell approximately l,S0O short of the full year registration of 1923.
 Viewed strictly from the traffic standpoint, the comparative state- ments indicate that there were fully as many motor vehicles in use in the winter just passed as at the height of the motoring season four scant years ago. The modern snow clearance method of the state and municipalities, and the tremendous iy increased production of closed passenger cars were undoubtedly im- portant factors in the increased traf- tic.
 While the number of cars in use in midwinter may have equaled the number in use in midsummer of 1923. the winter traffic was not as heavy. of course. Information as to the average mileage of each car used during the two periods would be necessary to make a comparison of traffic density. This can be derived approximately, from gasoline con- sumption figures on file with the de- partment, and will be the subject of later statement from the depart ment
