supploted by an investigation

Cant Collect For
Auto or Rig Let
Out on Sundav

The Court of Appeals has just
handed down an important de-
cision to the effect that those
having automobiles or horses and
buggies to rent cannot collect
their hire, in case same is let out
on Sunday that is to say they
cannot collect for it if the party
getting it is inclined to resist.
The decision was in the case
of H. T. Jones VS. A. L. Bellisle.
Jones rented an automobile from
Bellisle on a Saturday night, and
shortly after midnight rented
another. He was presented with
a bill for $25, SIS of which was
for the car rented on Sunday.
He resisted payment, and the
court of appeals made the fol.
lowing ruling-"A contract
made on Sunday in furtherarce
of work of the ordinary calling
of one of the contracting parties
cannot be enforced by him.
which exempted Jones from pay
ment of the auto hired on Sun
day.
The moral for local liverymen
is collect in advance for your au-

New Auto Law
To Make Records
More TruSty.
Now Hard To Keep Track
Of Who Owns License,

Atlanta, September 15-In the
view of Secretary of State Cook
the automobile registration law,
effective on January first next,
will serve one excellent purpose
at least and that is to make the
records in his Office fairly trust
worthy.
"Practically the entire record
here is valueless and Enthusiastically
under the old law" he said today.
"The law went into effect first in
1910 and since then we have lssu-
ed nearly $4,000 numbers.
"Under the old law it is impos.
sible to keep track of numbers or
prevent irregularities. Take num-
bers issued back at the beginning.
Actually l have heard of No. 2
being used a half dozen places,
and this is doubtless true of literal
IY thousands of other numbers.
Nov under the Law a number can
be used only on the original car.
If that car changes hands the
number does not 60 with it and
can not legally be used on any
other car. But hundreds paw no
attention to this law consequently
as an accurate record, the regis
trations here in my office in a
large measure, are worthless,
"Frequently, IN fact every day
We have letters of inquiry from
officers all over the state, or other
parties, wishing to know the own
ers of car displaying giTxeq
number. We look it up. Their
develops that the purchaser of
that number has sold his car and
number and maybe after tracing,
| it is found that the car has chang
ed hands half a dozen times and
the number with it each time. The
new law will do away with most
of this trouble, inasmuch as it
will be an annual registration and
the numbers will bear the year
Hence, at the end of the year the
old number is no good and can
not be used without danger of ar.
rest and fine"
