TELL
Of AUTO TOUR IN
THE OLD COUNTRY
Robert Hensler and Samuel
DENLY Made inspection of
Motor Factories in France.

Robert Hensler and Samuel DENLY, of
Newark, returned on Wednesday last
from a two-months' trip abroad, most
of the time being spent in and around
Paris, where a complete tour was made
of the big French automobile factories.
Soon after their arrival they were
joined by George Robertson, who drove
derbilt cup race. and Frank Rikers of
New York. The entire party visited the
works of the Panhard, Renault, c. G. v,
Daimler and other companies, and were
treated with the greatest courtesy by
the French automobile manufacturers,
every facility for studying the French
methods of construction being given
them, and a car of each make being
placed at their disposal.
The Frenchmen looked Upon Robert
son with the greatest respect, and could
not say enough in praise of the Wander
bilt winner.
While at the Daimler plant the party
met Mr.. Knight, an American, who has
invented the silent Knight engine.
The Daimler Company have discarded
their Ole engines and are now employ
ing the Knight type exclusively. Mr..
Hensler spent several days with Mr..
Knight, who demonstrated to him
everything of interest in the Daimler
works.
At the Clement Bayard plant, the
party was also given exceptional priv
ileges for investigation and they have
nothing but praise to bestow upon the
treatment accorded to them by the for
eign autoists.
While in Paris the airship show and
the Paris Automobile Salon were visited,
both exhibitions containing much to in
terest the American motorists.

BENJAMIN BRISCOE ON
AUTO TARIFF REVISION.

The suggested revision of tariff on
automobiles is one Of the vital ques-
tions before the American automobile
industry today. Benjamin Briscoe, pres
ident of the Maxwell Briscoe Motor
Company, and chairman of the Ameri-
can Motor Car Manufacturers Associa-
ton, and H. 3. JOY. president OF the
Packard Motor Car Company, have
probably delved more deeply into this
question than most automobile manu-
facturers. In fact, Mr.. Briscoe was
one of a committee of two to place be-
fore the committee on ways and means
at Washington. ID. c., a brief prepared
by the Associated American Manufac-
turers of Automobiles. "Notwithstand-
ing the great number of machines sold
and the money invested said Mr.. Bris-
coe, lit is a fallacy in the public mind
that the manufacture of automobiles
represents a large profit. As a matter

manufacturers of this country are not

per cen II is an unquestioned fact
that labor is cheaper abroad than in the

ployees 1915 as against 1929 in Europe,

per cent. higher in this country than In
Canada. Should the present tariff rate

the American manufacturer would be TO

JERSEY MOTORISTS
TO Be ALLOWED
TO GET TRANSFERS
Commissioner Smith Hands
Down Ruling of interest to
Local AutOiSts.

The local agency of the State De-
partment of Motor Vehicles received
word this week from Commissioner
Smith that hereafter transfers from
II car to another would be permitted
upon application being made and a
transfer fee of 81 paid.
This ruling will be received with
great satisfaction by motorists all owe
the State, as it does away with the
great injustice that prohibited a car
owner, after registering his machine, to
transfer his registration to another car
If nc decided to exchange his old one
for another OF later type. 1t practi-
cally prohibited q man from selling a
car registered in his name and pur-
chasing a new one, unless he paid the
full years fee over again. 1t can be
readily seen what a hardship this was
to a motorist who made four or five
changes in his car during the year
Under Commissioner Smiths present
ruling an owner can change his car as
often as he likes upon the payment of
a nominal transfer fee of 81. Special
registration cards have been designed
that show, not only the horsepower and
makers number of the new car. but
contains a fun description of the car
from which the transfer is made, thus
getting over the difficulties arising from
the differences in tho makers number
as shown on the owners ticket and OH
the markers that are attached to the
automobile.
The local license Office in the New
Jersey Automobile and Motor Club
has been supplied with the new tickets,
and ABB lie Massena, the agent in
charge. announces that he is ready to
issue transfers under the new ruling to
all who apply for same.

DEPARTMENT
IS ON THE HUNT
FOR MOTOR FINES
Newark Called Upon for Money
Collected iron Penalties and
Not Turned Into State.

As a direct result of the tracing sys-
fem which the New Jersey Automooiie
and Motor Club i~naugurated last sum
n,er. formal demand was made TINS

RENTED to the department of motor
vehicles to be applied to the repair ana
maintenance of the roads, as the Ere
~linghuysen law demands.
Since the original act went into effect
in 1906 there have been numerous con-
victions in the Newark courts under
this law and yet the State never re
ce1ved any revenue from the fines col
lected from the motorists. The sup
position is that the moneys which nave
been collected through the agency OF
the police courts have taken the course
Of other fines received through such
courts and beer paid over to the city
treasury. The present demand is there
fore made in order that the revenue
from this source will reach the motor
AFiltie departments
properly lodged
The local situation is not the only one
that Commissioner smiths inspectors
have been investigating, with the CO.
operation OF the local automobile club.
Several municipalities which, like New
ark arc believed TO have retained fines
illegally. and man. justices OF the
reace. scattered throughout the rural
sections Of the state. are being brought
into the limeiight.
The Investigations conducted by the
New Jersey club have revealed three
separate conditions in relation to tine
Withholding Of automobile fines; First,
several justices OF the peace were found
10 have w~ilfully withheld the money
and appropriated it to their own use;
second. many municipalities, like New
ark. have turned the money into the
wrong channel without any intention to
defraud; third, some peace officials
were found TO be so ignorant of the
law that they simply did not know
what to do with the fines and held
Same subject to demand by the proper
authorities.
According to reports issued by the
motor vehicle department. the income
derived by the State from fines i'm
posed amounted to but 1891 in 1906.
During the following ear there was
received from this source s., $40, while
in 1908 this had been increased to 49,
1854. of which latter sum S2,992 was
turned ia by two justices. the notorious
mali order squire. Naar. contributing

Brunswick, running a close second with

There Is every prospect that the pres

will result in good. not only to the
State. but to the motorist. the former
