LEGISLATURE NEWS.

After a vigorous debate, during which
some Of the members opposing told Of
the practice OF automobile speeding in
New Castle county, the State Senate by a
vote of 10 to last Tuesday passed the
Drexler bill increasing the speed rate OF
automobiles from 20 to "A miles an hour,
and exempting veterinarians in emer-
gency cases the same as physicians. Sen.
ator Drexler explained that the aim of
the law was not purely to increase the
speed, but to make the rate uniform with
the laws Of Pennsylvania Maryland and
New Jersey. The opposing Senators gave
the reasons that too many we're already
violating the speed limit in New Castle
county, and that by so doing, they we're
making it dangerous for pedestrians, es-
pecially school children.
Mr.. Davis also gave notice Of bill
which has for its object the giving Of the
county in which State licenses are paid a
share in the licenses. II provides that
when q person pays a State license to the
clerk Of the peace be shall pay fifty cents
for the use Of the county.
