MOTOR CAR OWNERS
TO FIGHT NEW BILL
Big Delegation Going to Capital
Next Week
CLAIM IT Is VERY UNJUST
Measure Requires Driver of Automo-
bile to Stop at the Approach of
Every Mule or Horse
Along the Highway.
CLAIM IT Is VERY UNJUST

The Birmingham Motor club will fight
the bill which has been introduced into
the legislature to regulate use of autos.
AT a meeting last night about a score
of members of the club pledged them
selves to go to Montgomery Tuesday
morning to fight the bill before the COM
mittee to which it was referred, and a
committee was named to make the ar
engagements. 1t is probable that there will
be thirty or forty others to go, and a spe-
cal car may be chartered for the trip
Every member present last night prom
ised to call on some of the owners of
machines who We're not at the meeting
and urge that they go to Montgomery to
oppose the bill. 1t is the purpose of the
club to get strong delegation to go to
Montgomery, and also to bring pressure
to bear on all the Jefferson delegation to
oppose the bill. Pressure will also be
brought to bear on the representatives
and senators from other counties.
1t is the contention of the Motor club
that if the bill becomes law it will pre-
vent the use of automobiles in the state
either inside the city limits of a city
or in the country. The bill provides that
the person operating an auto must stop
at the approach of every vehicle. kill"
the engine and walt until he ascertains
whether the horse or mule to the vehicle
is afraid of the auto. II the animal Is
afraid the autoist must wait until the
animal is past or turn out of the way
where the machine cannot freighten it.
They contend that If this was done they
would be constantly jumping out of the
auto and cranking 1t so that all profit
and pleasure would be destroyed
Every man in Birmingham who operates
an automobile, 1t is claimed, is very care
ful to avoid Frightening horses, and in
variably stops when a horse or mule
shows any indications of being freight
ened.
The committees of the club are to re-
port to DIR. j. e. Dedman Monday after
noon, that final arrangements can be
made for the trip.
