The New Automobile Laws

II wish you would call attention to
the new automobile laws said Secre-
tary of State Frank w. Ball. MANY
people think that they went into effect
when the most of the laws passed by
the 18th Legislature did on July last.
I can see no reason why they should so
think, for the new automobile laws
state explicitly that they shall not be-
come effective until Jan. I, 1890.
TT could be done, but it would en-
tail an immense and needless amount
Of work to change the entire registra-
ton system in the middle Of the year.
II people had stopped or would stop to
consider, the change on July 4 would
necessitate' a double registration for
many.
II And that even some Inspectors have
been working on the idea that the new
laws took effect on July 4, but that has
been Strengthened out. The misunder-
standing has caused no end of bother
and trouble for the Automobile Bureau
I shall be glad to have it overcome. by
