NEW JERSEY RETALIATES.
state Resents Discrimination shown
Against Its Automobiles.

state Resents Discrimination shown
Against Its Automobiles.
Feeling that New Jersey automo-
bilists are being prosecuted in New
York, Pennsylvania and other ada
cent states in an effort TO break
down all automobile restrictions here
and throw New Jerseys good roads
open to unrestricted automobile
traffic, J. B. r. Smith, state COM
missioner of motor vehicles, is con-
sidering method of retaliation that
is likely to result seriously for non
resident automobile owners and
drivers.
Beginning with Pennsylvania, Mr..
Smith Saturday wrote letter to the
highways commissioner of that state,
calling his attention to the fact
that the police authorities Of his
commonwealth refuse TO recognize
New Jersey licenses. He adds that
unless there is a modification Of that
attitude he will feel constrained to
refuse to Pennsylvania automobiliSts
in the future the privileges Of the
tourist" amendment to the New
Jersey law.
BY this amendment, which was
passed last winter, nonresident au-
tomobilists may be given tourists
licenses without cost. These permit
the use Of New Jersey roads for four
periods of two days each, or one
period of eight days, in each year,
They may be refused at the discre-
uion of the commissioner.
These tourists licenses have al
ready become popular with nom
residents who desire to tour this
state and their abolition would
doubtless have a far>reaching effect.
