Commissioner OF Motor \ehi-
Giles Harry y. Roe, a few days
ago gave out a statement from his
office showing receipts from IL
censes and other items for the
year ending April l, 1918.
For the fiscal year ended April

as compared with 100000 for the
prior fiscal year, under the old
law. The professional chauffeur
feature of the law, which was not
i'll the old law. yielded over Sill
eco. The increase in the number
OF licenses over the prior fiscal
year was nearly 80 per cent but
the bulk OF the increased receipts
was caused by the increased fees
for the heavy powered machines
from 80 to so horse power on
which the license was largely in
creased. The increase in license
fees on smaller machines-up to
90 horse pOWer-suCh as are in
general use in the country, was
not proportionately large as COM

TEN-YEAR-OLD

CHIEF SANDERS STOPS YOUTHS
FROM RUNNING MACHINES, AS
THEY ARE UNDER THE AGE
LIMIT.

Chief of Police Sanders will detail
an officer for the purpose of seeing
that all drivers of automobiles are over
sixteen years old and have a permit
to run machines. The officer will also
inspect the brakes on all automobiles
to see that they are in working order
as required by city ordinance.
Chief Sanders has just stopped two
white boys from running automobiles,
as neither one of them is sixteen years
old nor has a permit to run a machine.
One of the boys is ten years old and
the other will not be sixteen until next
December. The city ordinance says
that permit shall not be issued to
drivers unless they are over sixteen
The permit issued to the owner of an
automobile does not allow the machine
to be operated by any other person I'M
less they have permit to do so.
