pose Of making the necessary change.
The license commissioners have al.
ready established the fees Tor the coming

States Attorney Of chittenden County
Asks Sec. Of staet Bailey to Hold

States Attorney H. B. Shaw Of Bur
lington has sent a letter to Secretary Of
staet Guy H Bailey asking him to with
hold the issuing Of an operators auto.
mobile license to Albert B. Henderson
Of Burlington until after a hearing has
been held on the question Of granting
the license. In his letter States Attor-
mex Shaw says that Henderson was ope-
rating the car in the accident in which
A. J. Taylor was killed last fall and
that there was no question that excessive
speed was the cause Of the accident, as
also was excessive speeding the cause Of
the accident in which Robert Clark was
killed In 1905 in the Queen City.
The states attorney thinks that liz a
license Is refused Henderson II will act
as warning to other operators IN regard
to speeding, and states If Edward Law
ley, the driver ef the machine in which
Clark was killed, should apply for a
license, he should be refused on the same
grounds.
