WEIGH AUTOS
FOR INSURANCE
New Jersey Tries a New
Scheme; Classics Light
and Heavy Cars.

new basis for insuring automo-
biles has been evolved by one Of the
leading New Jersey insurance com
panies. The weight Of the car is now
depended on in defining the risk and
setting the preium required. cars
weighing under 5000 pounds are in
sured at a certain rate and all those
over 5000 pounds at a different rate
This standard applies both TO anfo-
mobile liability and property damage.
This new principle can well be con-
sidered the outgroWth of conditions
as they are now holding. The man
experienced greater expense for gaso-
line, tires and depreciation, and now
his insurance follows substantially the
same ratio.
A new element in establishing the rel
alive safety Of automobiles is shown
by this weight standard The sta
tistics Of the insurance company have
established the fact that lighter cars
are safer The rates bearing on the
'Iight'' and heavy" classifications
establish their relative safety in the
proportion OF two to three, that is, the
light car is one and one-half times
as safe as the heavier.
Conditions affecting the expense Of
operating automobiles are more and
more reaching the point where the
question Of weight must be the first
to be considered. Already weight
elimination is one Of the biggest
problems automobile designers are
working out. Simplifying the mechan-
ism of an automobile is regarded as
the initial step. Complication is known
to be too closely related to high up
keep and lack Of control Of autOmO-
biles to longer stand the test which
motor cars are now required to meet

NOT FOR R5ES
Massachusetts May not Per
nit Commercial Cars on
the Streets Sundays.

Boston, Mass, April 22.-Motorists
who have cars which they use for
business six days in the week and for
touring on Sunday, now are faced with
a problem, If the action of the Cam
bridge police is followed generally
throughout the Bay state. Last Sun
day a man who used Ford runabout
in mis- business as a plumber on week
days was motoring through Cam
bridge when he was stopped by a po-
liceman who looked over his car and
noted the registration number win
B in front. That indicated that it was
a commercial vehicle. The policeman
told the man that he had no right to
drive his car on Sunday because 1t
was not a passenger vehicle
When chairman W. D. Sohier, OF the
Massachusetts highway commission,
was asked about it, he said that he ala
not know any law that prohibited
man using his car on Sunday. In look
ing over the motor law he said there
was a clause in the registration leu
section that might apply to such cases.
il says, for the registration or every
commercial vehicl e used solely az
such" Under the last four words IL
might be possible for judge to say
that the car did not have proper reg
fstration, for it was not passenger
week days.
To make conditions all the worse the
state senate has Just killed the bill al
lowing garages to sell gasoline, or oth-
er supplies like a tire, tube, etc. or
make an emergency repair on sunday
So now IL a mOtorist runs out Of tuel'
OF has q puncture and is without an
extra shoe or tube, it is Illegal any
where in the state to sell him anything
unt1 after midnight Sunday, or TO re-
pair a break in his machine.
The reason advanced by some OF the
senators for killing the bill was that 1t
would mean garages keeping open
seven days a week, or having lot OF
alleged garages opened up for sunday
business only. But as the city ana
town authorities grant the permits Tor
garages that could be checked.
The Cambridge police officials when
asked about their attitude, said tnat II
was illegal to use vehicles with bust
ness registrations on Sunday. and that
they had warned owners not 70 40 IT,
