ant City Solicitor John F. Lynn, pre-
liminary to moving to new quarters

the end of service for the court room
in the old City Hall on Market street,
extending over thirty-three years.
Recognition OF the long use Of the old
court room was given in a few brief
remarks by J. Frank Ball, former
judge of the Municipal Court. and in
response by Judge Philip O.
Churchman.
Mr.. Ball spoke feelingly OF the
scenes the room had witnessed, "the
sorrows II had known, the happy re-
unions that had taken place within
its walls" He alluded to the splendid
work done by Judge Churchman since
his appointment to the City Court
bench.
Judge Churchman replied briefly
thanking Mr.. Ball and expressing the
hope that the work OF the judges and
other court officials in the new quar-
ters might be as beneficial as he felt
il had been in the old building.
Everything in the old City Hall per-
tanning. to the Municipal Court and the
police station win be moved today and

the new building next Monday. Offices

county fee of SO cents and one dol
lar, respectively, for perennial regis
tration. Most of the states, however,
also levy annual taxes on motor vehl-
cles, and this adds Importantly to the
public revenue contributed by the
owners of motor propelled vehicles.
In the use of fees, however, there
seems to be general policy of apply
ing the major part of the money col
lected from automobiles directly to
road betterment. In AZ of the states
of the Union all or the major portion
of the State highway department. In
LEO states, all, or the major portion
of the net motor-vehicle revenues are
expended by or under the supervision
Or direction of the State highway
department. In States one-haf to
one fourth of the state motor-vehlcle
revenues are expended through the
State highway department, and the
remainder by the local authorities.
Many states, in addition to applying Ii
cense fees to road construction, ex-
pend for this purpose large part of
the fines and penalties collected from
owners.
