WORKING OUT
THE UNIFORM
MOTOR LAW

Since the publication Of an article
in THE EVENING JOURNAL a few
days ago considerable comment has
been heard regarding the proposed
uniform automobile law which is ex-
pected to be passed by several States.
Sylvester ID. Townsend Jr., drew the
tentative draft of such law and took
il over to New York last Friday
When spoken to about the subject
today, Mr. Townsend said
"One of the Wilmington papers un-
Intentionally made an erroneous
statement with respect to the tenta-
tive draft of the uniform automobile
law. to the effect that it had been
disapproved Of by the committee Of
seven appointed from the representa-
itives of the several states AS a mat
ter Of fact the draft which / prepar-
ed has not yet been submitted TO the
subcommittee.
ION Friday of last week, / con-
ferred with Samuel w. Taylor, presi-
dent of the Uniform Legislation Con-
ference, with respect to this draft
as well as with respect to the pre-
paration of a much shorter one. The
completed draft has been made up
in strict accordance with the IN
structions of the committee OF seven
1t is a voluminous document intend
ed only as a working draft. II was
thought that if every subject covered
by the laws of the seaboard States
from Maryland to Maine could be
put into one draft in some logical
form, that then the Subcommittee
could get together and eliminate al
that they deem inapplicable TO :
uniform law. 1t was never intended
that the draft prepared by me should
be accepted as final il was onl,
agreed that draft of the character
Just suggested should be prepared il
order that we could have a substan
tial basis upon which to do speedie
and more effective work"
