REGULATION OF AUTOS
SOUGHT BY DISTRICT
Comnissioners Send Bill 10 Congress
Asking Annual Registration and
License Fee for Machines.
WHEEL TAX OPPOSED

The text Of bill for the regulation Of
the licensing. registration, and operation
of motor vehicles in the District of CO.
lumbia yesterday was forwarded by the
Commissioners to Congress.
The bill provides for the annual regis
tration of automobiles. the payment of
an annual license fee, and the repeal
of the wheel tax The Commissioners re-
quest the early enactment Of this meas
ure.
Complete authority to regulate the
automobile traffic in the District Is the
object sought by the Commissioners.
The repeal of all existing laws and regu-
lations on the subject is provided for
in section of the bill. which further
authorizes the Commissioners to make
anew sll necessary regulations. impose
all necessary license fees, impose penal
ties for violations of the regulations, and
to prosecute such violations.
II also 10 provided that on and after
July !. 1914. all owners Of automobiles
shall be required to obtain new licenses,
based upon regulations to be adopted by
the Commissioners.
In a letter addressed to Senator John
Walter Smith, chairman of the Senate
the Commissioners comment, in part,
upon their measure. as follows:
The Commissioners believe that the
present speed limits fixed by an act
OF Congress should be amended. and the
matter of speed should be left to them
to adjust, by regulation, as the neces-
stiles of the case may require. They
believe that there should be an annual
registration or license fee for motor
vehicles, and that the existing act of
Congress which has been construed as
requiring this fee to be paid but once.
should be repealed.
They believe that the imposition of
an annual wheel tax against motor We
hicles should be repealed.
The Commissioners believe q more ad-
visable for Congress to delegate to them
the authority of handling the question
of automobile traffic than that II should
be handled directly by Congress.
IF the Commissioners handled the
matter such changes readily could be
made by a change in a regulation. The
matter is one coming within the general
police power. such as has been dele
gated to the Commissioners by Con-
gress. and there seems to be no reason
why motor vehicles should be excepted
from the general police power of the
Commissioners, as is now the case
