Responsibility of Car Owners.
The legal department Of "The Sur
veyor," an insurance publication, has
been endeavoring to solve a question
which has been asked by numerous
motorists. There is considerable con-
fusion in the court decisions regarding
the liability of an owner for damages
caused by his car when the machine
is driven either by his wife or by a
chauffeur for the wife and when the
owner is not in the car.
The same point arises where dam
ages are caused through the operation
of the car by son or relative OF the
owner when the owner Is not present.
"The Surveyor" says:
"While the tendency OF practically
all recent cases of this nature Is 20
place liability for damages for negll-
gent injuries upon the person VINO mas
taken the responsibility of placing an
other in charge of an automobile as
chauffeur, the decisions are not alto
gether uniform.
1T has been held by the Supreme
Court OF New York that where the
owner OF an automobile, driven by a
chauffeur employed by him, allows his
wife TO use the machine at her pleasure
and give orders to the chauffeur, the
owner is liable for injuries caused by
the negligence of the chauffeur.
ION the other hand, another depart
ment of the Supreme Court has held
that a man who has purchased an au-
tomoble for tpe mutual pleasure oil
himself and family is not liable for
injuries caused by the wife while per
sonaly operating the machine Tor her
own recreation and not IN connection
with any business OF the husband.
ain another case the court has held
that the owner of an automobile VINO
allows his son, twenty-one years oil
age. TO drive the automobile az has
pleasure, is not liable for injuries by
the sons negligence, when the owner
was not present and when the son was
not acting for him but was driving the
car for his own purposes.
an the State Of Massachusetts, the
Supreme Court has held that the owner
of car is liable for injuries sustained
while his car Is being operated by his
. son.
\ "In the State Of Washington the
court has held that father who fur
nishes a vehicle for the conveyance
of members Of his family is liable for
damages caused by a member of the
family. on the ground that all mem
bers Of the family are his agents"
The legal department Of "The Sur
veyor" concludes by saying that the
general rule seems 10 be that tho
owner Of an automobile, who has per
mitted members OF his family TO use
his car, Is liable for any injuries re-
sulting from such use.

to give this information on the tele-
phone.
The figures quoted are the prices
asked by the dealers for these models
on basis of cash sale. If the car is
purchased on time payment. the prices
will, as a rule, be slightly higher than
those in this list.
September and October are good
months for purchasing q used car. as
the manufacturer agents are. during
this period, making rapid deliveries Of
new cars. and as between so and 80 per
cent of the purchasers Of new cars have

are thrown on the market during these
two months. The dealers do not like TO

the winter, and are offering them just

now at the lowest possible figures in
order to keep down their stock of used
cars during November, December and
January.
The list has been divided according to
make, and each make is graduated from
the low to the high price, regardless OF
year or type Of body. In most Of the
cases here reported an effort is made to
specify whether tho car has electric
lighting and starting. In few in
stances, however, where the cars were
reported late, leaving no time for in
vestigation, this detail has been
omitted.
The complete list of oil the cars The
Tribune was able to get prices upon
during the week Is as follows:
