TIMELY AUTOT0PICS
EDGE TO THE RESCUE.
Would Open Jersey Roads to
Outside Motorists.

New York autonlobilists who occasionally
take trip through New Jersey will be
I'm sympathy with the bill introduced in
the Assembly OF tho mosquito state on
Monday by Walter z. Edge OF Atlantic
City, the Republican leader Of the House.
Mr. Edge, who had MUCH 10 do with
building up the we'll known resort where
he lives. thinks that the residents OF his
state should DO well satisfied to have auto
mobilists from other states come to New
Jersey and spend their money without
having to pay for a license 10 do it. His
bill. IL passed. would wipe out ths present
section of the law which imposes charge
OF 81 on nonresident motorists OF the
state for tsn-day license, and in its
stead provides that there shall be three
ten-day periods In a year. with thirty days
intervening, during which nonresident au-
tomobile owners may use the roads Of the
state without the payment OF any fee.
Mr.. Edge thinks New Jersey somewhat
backward in ths matter of automobile reg
ulatton, and in pointing to the new recip-
rocal law which went into effect in Penn
sylvsnia on January says that the resi-
dents of New Jersey gre the only ones
prohibited from taking sdvantase of it, be-
cause of its own drastic automobile law.
