At all times, of course, there will be thc problem of getting the trackless trolleys through — since they hardly can be re-routed
As a result, even though West Market may bo a one-way street to all the rest of traffic, that traflic r will havp to be halted on occasion to let the big trolleys go through in  the   oppo^te  direction.
However, Councilman Price's de¬ termination that at least one lane must bn kept open eliminated all the difficultlps which had been promised when it first was an¬ nounced that the street might be closed to all tratfic for nine v/ecks.
"I know that must not be per¬ mitted to happen and I will not permit  it,'' Price said yesterday,
