PUBLIC SPEAKERS ARGUE TOMORROW
Men and Women of Y and Banking Classes Fea-
 tured as Opponents

The third in the series oS public hearings on the financial respon- sibility problem will be held at the aldermanic chambers in City Hall this afternoon under the auspices of the temporary committee ap- pointed to investigate the subject by Governor Wilbur l.. Cross. Hearings in which the audience is expected to supply the material for discus- sion have already been held and have resulted in several suggestions of value. Other sessions will follow in the near future.
 According to members of the commission. Superior Court Judge Frank P. McEvoy of this city; Mo- tor Vehicle Commissioner Michael A, Connor; and Insurance Commis- sioner John Blackall, the work 0i the group is purely that of inves- tigatton.
 Opinions Wanted
 The hearings are held for the purpose of giving motorists the op- portunity to advance their own per- sonal opinions on a problem which is admittedly one of the most im- portant confronting drivers today. An indication of the s. te wide in- tercst in the subject was the recent questionnaire conducted by the state department of motor vehicles. re- suits of which showed an over whelming majority in favor of com pulsory insurance.
 The commission is careful to point out. however. that It's work is pri- marily the checking of present sta tutes affecting the financial respon |. sibility of drivers. The questions of interest to the commission have been summarized as follows:
 "Is the present situation satisfac |. tory? Are the present laws adc- quate? If not. what changes should be made in the present law. and how far should those changes go?"
 It is for the purpose of supplying answers to these questions that the hearings are being held.
