The Washington times., 1909-08-27

The new automobile regulations re-
gently framed by the Commissioners
went into effect today.
The regulations ia the main are satis-
factory TO the motorists, but some fault
has been found with those provisions re
gardinE disagreeable odors that may be
emitted from tae machine, and unneces-
sary noises that may be made in the
operation Of the machine.
A number OF leading automobilists
have expressed the opinion that some
portions OF the new regulations will
work a hardship to the motorists. 1t is
pointed out that as the members of the
police force are to be the judges of
what constitutes undue noises i'm the op-
GRAFTON OF the machine and what is an
offensive or disagreeable odor cOming
from the machine. any officer who may
have a grudge against any particular
motorist can have him in court every
day charged with one Of these so-Called
offenses.
Auto Club May Act.
It Is likely that the Automobile Club
Of washington viii interest itself ia the
matter Il occasion arises for action.
The new regulations provide That
Article xiv of the Police Regula-
tions of the District of Columbia be,

striking out Sections 8 and and by

tions 8, 8, and 10. respectively. TO II,

A request was sent TO the mayor OF
Greater New York today by Acting
Secretary Of the Navy Winthrop, asking
that an investigation Of the sewerage
conditions about the Brooklyn navy
yard be taken up, with view Of re-
moving the sewers lying about the new
dry dock. It has been found by the
contractors that cave-ins in the eXca-
walton for the dry dock are being caus-
ed by leaks Ia the sewers which run
along one side. Much of the sewage
leaks into the excavation, ana the bulk
Of II is dumped into the Wallabout
channel. where the tidal flow is so
slight that il Ia not carried of. II IS
the aim of the Navy Department to
