Garage Man S Lien
Law Is Held 10
Be Constitutional

That the New York garage mems lien
law is not unconstitutional is the de-
cision in a late New York case, noted
by Motor World" The court held that
the public sale of motor car upon
notice to the owner is not taking prop
erty without due process Of law, as the
amount of the lien is the sum due from
the owner and may be less than the
amount claimed by the garage man.
The court also held that the garage
man proceeds at his peril and is liable
for damages if he sells the property,
claiming more than is actually due to
him. The New York garage mems lien
law provides:
"a person keeping a garage and
who in connection Herewith stores,
maintains, keeps or repairs any motor
vehicle or furnishes gasolene or other
supplies therefor at the request or with
the consent of the owner has
Ii n upon such motor vehicle for the
sum due for such storing, maintaining,
keeping or repairing Of such motor
vehicle or for furnishing gasolene or
other supplies therefor. and may detain
such motor vehicle at any time 1t may
be lawfully in his possession until such
sum is paid
This statute declares the amount oil
the lien to be the "sum due" from the
owner, not the sum claimed by the
garage man. II does not make the ga
rage man the judge of the case. If he
claims more than is actually due, ne is
guilty of conversion and liable to the
owner for damages.
But before the garage man can sell
the car the sum he claims must De
actually and rightfully due. and the
statute gives him no right and no pro-
lection if he makes wrongful claim.
The owner Of the property in either
case. if he disputes the amount due, Is
afforded by law many remedies:
|. He can tender the amount, II any,
which he claims that he owes, and re-
plevin the property.
2. He can pay the amount claimed
by the lienor, and recover back any ex-
cess over what was actually due as
money paid under duress.
8. II the property is illegally threat
cred with sale, he can enjoin the sale
and determine in the injunction SUIT
what the proper amount OF the Zen is;
& He can let the sale proceed, ana
sue all parties concerned for the con-
version Of his property.
The statutes in question merely ex-
tend TO all lienors The right OF SAFE
which has always existed at common
law in a pledge Of personal property
with certain added provisions as TO
notice to the owner Tor MS protec'ioh'
The court held: They no more con-
stitute a taking of property without
due process of law than would similar
sale by a PLEDGE under the common
law. where the amount for when the
property was pledged was in dispute;
the rights and remedies in such case
would be identical with those IN the
former case.
There are similar provisions IN the
statutes Of nearly all Of the states.
am unable to find a reported case IN
which the constitutionality OF these
statutes has been questioned.-Din

4. Do not allow engine to run

5. Have carburetors adjusted
