Mrs. Jacob Marki had been 80 badly

AUTOISTS DISCUSS
LEGISLATIVE BILLS
Meeting of Directors Of State
Association
Call New Haven Park Board Straight
Laced Fossils-suggest Amend
ments For Vehicle Light Bill.

A large number of the directors of
the Connecticut Automobile Associa-
ton met in eHdffTord' Tuesday after
noon and discussed several bills Of in
terest to automobiles now pending
before the Legislature.
A bill making possible the use of
parks by automobiles ELECTED warm
comment on the abilities and char
acters of the men who have power
over the New Haven parks
The automobilists' park bill pro-
vides that, If the use of parks which
are wholly or partly maintained by a
city, is prohibited to automobiles by
an appeal may be taken from their
decision to the mayor or other Off
Gals of the city.
Another. bill that was endorsed pro-
videS for the removal of all brush,
small trees, vines and low-1ying
branches situated at corners or curves
I of streets and roads or at railroad
drivers or pedestrians.
A bill which originated with the as
ISOLATION a. month ago requiring that
all vehicles besides those automati-
ca1ly propelled carrying lights at night
was re-endorsed with amendments.
The original measure required that
the single lights carried should be Wis
of 2G0 feet. This ,stiplfla ton was all
tered to read that the light should be
visible from the front and rear, as
the other part of the provision seemed
ing that loads of hay carry adjacent
lights was omitted. The bill will now
be recomme ended with the suggestion
that these amendments be inserted
Senate Bill No. 27S, which does away
with the present system of double
taxation of .autom obiles, was approx
ed.N Automobile revisions that Secre-
tary of the State Albert Phillips has
recently mapped out were taken UP in
detail and approved by the associa--
ton with the exception of two items,
that concerning an increase of $50 in
the license fee fixed for dealers, being
one Of them. 1t was said that the OBJ
ject Of the measure was toa prevent
owners from evading the intent of the
taking out licenses when they were
not morally entitled to them.
The secretary said in answer to a
suggestion from one of the members
that the entire question be referred
to the Automobile Dealers Association
that the dealers had given the assoc
citation as short a, deal as any one,
and cited as an instance that two of
the largest dealers in this city had
they did not care to join it or have
anything to do with it. As a conSe-
quence he could not see any reason
for submitting the matter to them for
their approval. No further action was
taken. Among the changes that MT
Phillips's bills may bring about, in
addition to those already described,
ers SO that they will not only be short
er and bear smaller letters, but will
have small letters at each end to in
dictate the state Issuing the license
and the year of issue These letters
will be superimposed, thus:

POPE-HAR4FORDs SHOW
CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRESS

Striking evidences of marked pro-
gress are found in Pope-fIartford mo-
tor cars for the season Of 1913, fore
most among which is the produc ton
of an entirely new model of 40 H. p.
complete in every detail, including
electric starter and electric dynamo
lighting system listing at 1880 fully
equipped. Including this new car the
pe-Hartford line is now represent
ed by three distinct models of as
many different sizes, rating at 49, Sc
and so H. P. respectively, and known
as Models 81, SO and 20. The essential
principles underlying the design and
construction of these three cars are
identical and Pope quality is even
more apparent than in any preceding
line of cars that we have built.
The New Pope-Hartford Model 81
is car of convenient size and com
Portable proportions, powerful enough
to meet every demand of strenuous
service. It differs in size and power
from other Pope models, but not in
quality of material or workmanship
It is ful1-fledged Hartford
throughout, as a part by part exam
fnatton of its various features readily
proves. In comparing its component
parts with those of the two larger
higher-powered and consequently
more sive models many of thuem
are found to be not only identical, but
interchangeable as well.
The Pope is sold in Bridgeport by
the Consolidated Motor Co.

will be two of them instead of one.
These will be Tuesday, February rs
and Thursday February 27 to be
known as Society Nights There
will be no increase in the price of ad-
mission on these dates.
The musical program is being ar
ranged at the present time and a
specially engaged orchestra will be
present at every show. The program
although not yet completed but with
the supplemented orchestra the music
is compelled to prove very attractive
AS for the decorations. the decorator
engaged by the committee promises
that few will recognize the building
when he is through.

ready sent in contracts for floor space

increased a. little over 10 per cent,
owing to the fact that the legislature
of 1911 reduced the fee on all motor
vehicles of 25 horse power and over.
from so cents to SO cents per horse
power, SO that the receipts from reg
istration alone, only increased a little
over 4 per cent.
What may be expected in the way
of increase during 1918?
If the legislature of the present
year does not make any change in
the law which will affect the fees
the receipts should greatly exceed
those of 1912, and amount to well ov-
err 100000 for the fiscal year ending
September 80, 1913, with a total reg
istration of at least $4,000 private and
commercial cars with fully sas many
dealers and livery cars as are in ex-
istence at this time.

TOUR KLONDIKE
IN LOCOMOBILE
"TRIP. DEMONSTRATES THAT SYs-
TEN OF AAUTO TRANSPORTA-
TON WOULD BE PRAC-
TICABLE

News of the remarkable trip
through the Klondike country in
Locomobile car, made by the COVER
nor of Yukon territory and represen-
tatives of big mining interests. has
ust reached S. de B. Kein, local man
ager of the LocomobiIe Company of
Am erica. In letter from White
Horse, Yukon territory, dated Deem
Der %, 1912, Harold E. Wilson tells
of this trip from Dawson City to
White Horse, made by the governors
party, which included Assistant Man
ager Thomas of the Guggenheim in
terests in the Yukon and George Po-
ter, who is said to be the best cTauf-
feur IN Alaska.
The purpose of the trip was to dem
onstrate to the government that it is
possible to make such a run regularly
by automobile over the Winter trai1''
through Alaska. The distance be-
| tween the two places is 322 miles, but
1 the trail taken by the Locon1obile par
! ty was over a course eight miles long
er. In describing the trip, Wilson
said:
ITO put it mildly the trail was in
| very poor condition. The lack of
snow in many places forced blowing
/ through hub-deep- mud, and enor-
nous glaciers and snowdrifts in other
spots made driving most difficult.
| Many of the hills were so steep and
slippery and the drifts SO frequent that
| the average driver with an average
| car would have despaired. The
| Transportation company, a local con-
| Germ; and others had made repeated
| attempts to cover the route, but all
met with absolute failure. The Loco
mobile was the first to demonstrate
to the country generally and the
Transportation company in particular
| that system of autom obfIe transpor-
| tation would be practfca bic.
| 'tAs a result of the demonstration
the KlondiI<ers in all probability will
| receive government aid ON the trail
and will be able to get it so improv-
| ed that the trip can be made with
a fair degree of comfort in about half
the time. now. required by the horse
drawn stage line. The actual run
ming time for the $50 miles was 36
hours, although the trip required
more time because of the fact that
gasoline was placed at the wrong sta
| ton. This forced the crew to wait
| two days until a supply reached the
car. NJ
Eat another spot on the trail a
| stop was made for a day, as the crew
were half frozen and needed a rest.
To them the trail was unknown, 9TH
er than that they had been over it in
| the horse-drawn stage. Considering
| that the Locomobile was a 1908, 5 pas
senger, 6O-horse- power, 4-cyIinder
| touring car that had been in active
/ service for five years, the performance
was remarkable one. Upon inves-
tigation the running gear of the car
was found to be in excellent shape
| and showing no strains of the trip.
The engine was in perfect condition
and required no adjustment, and in
fact, all that was done to the car
was washing and thorough oiling.''
