MOTOR VEHICLE BILL
Explained to Judiciary Committee
Provisions of the Act.

Highway Commissioner Sargent ap-
peared before the committee on Ju-
dietary Thursday afternoon to explain
to the committee the bill in relation 10
the use of motor vehicles and prOVId-
ing for certain regulations appertain-
ing thereto.
Mr.. Sargent explained that the bill
is the direct outcome of the CONFER
ence of New England governors held
at Boston last fall when it was de-
termined to attempt to obtain some
uniform legislation in regard to the
use of automobiles. At the present
time a similar bin is before the Mas
sachusetts Legislature and also before
that of New Hampshire. Mr.. Sargent
stated that the bill provides for an
nual registration of automobiles with
an annual fee. graded according to
the power of the machine; for the
licensing of operators and chauffeurs
and for an age limit for the same.
Chauffeurs must be lG years of age
and operators IA according to the
provisions Of the bill although mem
berS Of the committee regarded the
latter limit as too young. The bill
also provides for proper equipment an
also that a register must be kept OF
all cars taken out and returned to Il
| public garage. This latter met with
| opposition voiced by Tabor ID. Bailey
| of Bangor speaking for number OF
automobile owners who, while agre"-
| able to the regulation while applied
| to chauffeurs did nOr think that own
! erS should be subject to the same pro-
visions.
Hon. Thomas J. Lyons addressed the
| committee in behalf Of the bill to en-

| tistcs He thought that the commits
sioner should have authority to collect
statistics regarding manufacturing es-
| Refreshments as we'll as labor and that

mining. The bill asks for an appro-
priation of $500. Senator Walker also
