these columns on Tuesday to the unjust-
fed acts OF police officers in bothering
View Workers ayailing themselves OF the
fifteen day touring reciprocity privilege.
Commissioner Lippincott says: ANY
person driving ON "a New York license with
chauffeur duly licensed in New York
state Is entitled to fifteen days free tour
ing privilege In New Jersey" This does
not mean that New York owner must
have n chauffeur's license from New York,
because. the Commissioner says. "the law
OF the State OF New York does not re-
quro an owner TO have n chauffeur's
license and an owner can drive In New
Jersey without any other license than a
car license for a period OF fifteen days.
II write this letter in order that any
possible apprehension which might be
caused in the minds OF New Workers. who
intend to visit New Jersey should be cor
rected.''
