AN AUTOMOBILE HEARING.
Objections to the Passage of Senate
Bill 1922.


Messrs. p J. Lockwood, Thomas c. Pole
and DR.. w. B. French. committee ap-
no,nted by the National Capital Automobile
Club of this city for the purpose, today
called upon the District Commissioners to
protest against the passage Of Senate bill
$500, particularly the enactment into law
of the fifth section Of that measure.
This section of the bill proposes to make
1t unlawful for any person or corporation
to run or operate any vehicle propelled by
steam or electricity, or other auto vehicle,
unless the same has first been registered In
the office of the District assessor In the
owners name.
Upon such registration the assessor shall
give each vehicle number by Whlch II
shall be known, the number to be placed
upon the lamps and In the rear OF the We
hicle in such manner as the Commission
ers may prescribe by regulations. For such
vehicle shall pay 81 to the collector of tax
ga and such vehicles shall not be run IN
the CITY at q greater rate or speed tnan
twelve miles an hour. s
r,ant against the passage of the section OF
the act objected to, basing 1t upon six
grounds. ,;. that ha Il, q
rooosure was responsible for the ''obnoxi-
ous measure" explaining that recently he
narrowly escaped being run over by steam
propelled vehicle which came upon MN
in the night at an uniawful rate OF speed
and giving no warning Of its approach and
no sign as to its identity. The chief OF
nolice also recommended the proposed leg
islation. and both Commissioners Ross and
Macfariand remarked that AZ any good sub
stitute measure could be suggested by the
committee they would be very glad to con-
slider it.
The public safety. they declared. is Of the
very highest consideration, and 1t must be
protected. They have no desire to annoy
the members of the club or any one else
owning or operating horseless vehicles. but
these vehicles, they stated, are run through
the streets of the city at great speed. en-
dangering the lives Of pedestrians and 9TH
ers, and something must be done to stop it.
: The Commissioners also stated that not
only have they personal knowledge of the
high and unlawful rate Of speed at which
these vehicles are driven through the
streets, but they have received many com
plants from citizens of the same character.
They promised. however, to consider very
carefully the protests filed with them.
