otherwiHe Owners HIVE No One But
Themselves to Blame.

Automobile owners who leave their
machines on the street without locking
them are violaters of the law, accord :
ing to Major Werner, who yesterday
called attention to the statute.
The statute in question reads:

With n lock or other device to prevent
It's being set In motion. and no per-
son shall allow any such machine
operated by him to stand or remain un :
attended in any street. avenue. road.

making fast the machine as above pro-
vided."
Major Werner said that car owners
whose machines were stolen are re-
sponsible In great measure for tho
thctts when they leave the cars with
out locking them. He was Of the opin-
ION that If the law was observed there
would be fewer reports of thefts OF

the individual and corporation income
tax this year will not only come up to
the original estimates of sSa, 900. 900, but
probably will exceed that sum.
If the estimate is borne out, the

thought possible.
