SEEK TO REDUCE IGE
LIMIT Of AUTO DRIVERS

Modification of the new ordinance
forbiddng persons under Is years OF
age driving automobiles was attempt
ed in the city council last night. The
ordinance goes into effect about three
weeks hence. 1t is now proposed to
pass an ordinance reducing the age
limit to 16 years and giving it imme
date effect. Such an ordinance was
referred to the ordinance committee
for action.
The argument put up for change
is that there are many boys here
under l8 years who have been driving
autos and that it is a hardship in
many cases to bar them, considering
that 16.year-old boy is as capable
as an 1S-yearold boy.
