NEW AUTO" REGULATIONS
Discrimination against Maaoatfdctur-
ers an importing Machines.

Washington March 1e.-The Secretary OF the
Treasury has issued new regulations governing the
importation Of automobiles for touring purposes.
These regulations limit the privilege to nonresdents
OF the United States. and require certificate from
the United States consul the port Of exportatloh
TO tbs effect that the machine is for touring puT-
poses only and that the owner is not in any way
engaged in the automobile business. The owner
may bring It with him or it may come thirty days
before after his arrival.
It is not to be used for business exhibition pur
poses. but It may be used for racing taking part
in other specific contests. Automobiles to be free
OF duty household effects must have been used
abroad for a year or more by the owner or
member OF his family residing with him abroad and
these include father. mother, brothers or sisters
The period OF such use may not have been con-
secutive or Immediately preceding the importation
The new regulation may discriminate against the
foreign manufacturers, who send racing machines
here for such contests as the Vanderbilt Cup race
and the contests held in January on the Ormond-
Daytona beach, according to several well known
automobilists last night. In these races many OF
the foreign entered sent over by the manu-
facturers accompanied by well known drivers Here
tofore the foreign machines allowed to be kept
three months in bond after their arrival in this
country while being raced
Three years ago the law committee of the Ameri-
can Automobile Club made application to the
Canadian government for permission TO have free
entry into Canada Of automobiles for touring pur-
poses The Canadian government granted the APP
to the entering of such machines into country.
That ruling, in substance, has been adopted by the
Secretary Of the Treasury for the importation OF
automobiles for touring purposes only 1t comes at
an opportune time according to members Of the
Automobile Club OF America
Efforts were made to obtain such ruling from
the previous Secretary of the Treasury, but for
certain reasons that application was not approved.
The difficulty experienced BY tourists with ma
chimes in this country have been many. Under the
old regulations, owner of touring car had to
place with the appraisers department cash TO the
value Of the machine. or As per cent of the ma
chimes value duty. provided cash deposit was
made Before the car was released, the owner
had to file bond for double the value of the ma
chine, with two sureties, each of these having
TO file bond for double the amount OF the bond OF
the owner plus the duty the machine.
