Explain Provision OF Bill.
Mr.. Stiekel explained the provi-
sions of the bill and said that our
present regulations had Cost us an
i~nca1culahle amount of money, which
would have come to notels, garages,
etc ), and has cast odium on the state
among -non- residents, who avoided
passing through New ersey. Our
business men are disseminated
against he held, and the Jersey au-
;toists have to pay additional fees to
motor in other states. The bill does
away with the provision that the
state commissioner OF vehicles shall
have tho power OF attorney, for the
visitors, as Mr.. Stickel claimed that
this feature does not exist in any
Sother state.
II the MEASURE becomes a law. Mr..
!Geran objected, the residents of the
state would have no sysem OF pro-
cess agafns an offender In case OF
accident except to carry ali the wilt
nesses tt the home OF the Visitor.
He would have auto fees, higher too,
ibasfng them SO much for each horse
power by d sliding scale.
Leader Whyte Objects.
Majority Leader Whyte asserted
|thst while he Is In favor Of reci-
procity, he did not like the particular
contained In the Stickei bill,
but the state should not be SO gen.
Eerous az to exceed It's means He
showed that Jersey ~autoists have to
pay heavy tolls In Pennsyivanfa for
passing over the roads and that New
York and Pennsylvania have not
had our experience In the use OF
stone roads The counties are too
heavily burdened now. he declared
and thfs bill would reduce the rev
niue. He objected to the abolition
OF the power OF attorney and asked
what was to prevent q visitor any
length OF time If there was to be
no system or registration. ssIn Ave
years, he said, ssthe mileage OF
state roads has Increased IS per cent
Land thescost OF repairs has increased
800 per cent. The repairs 10 81.
i600, 600 annually, about So cents FOL
every man, woman and child. or 9

Among his other figures he point.

Ha Thought the ~autoista should
itaka more Of the burden. as The
heavier cars constitute 80 per cen,
