rumored rendezvous for Illegally pur
chased cars Chief Clerk James II.
Hayes communicated the information
to county authorities yesterday and
the cars will have to go some to es-

watching for them.
Mr.. Hayes, in explaining the
trouble which is being experienced ny
the North Carolina authorities. says
the men who obliterate the engine
numbers of the cars are not breaking
any statute now in force, but that
they are buying the cars illegally"
according TO the standards of the
Ford company. Each state and terri
tory is allotted a number OF cars in
ratio to the population anu when some
territories have a surplus on hand.
they can be disposed of in Ford lov-
ing communities ~ a price one or two
hundred dollars in excess of the list.
Those engaged in this illegal traf.
ticking. said the chief clerk, destroy
the engine numbers because irate
dealers in the states where the de-
mand far exceeds the supply could
notify the Ford company OF the en-
CINE number. whereupon the COMPANY
would place y large fine on the Of
dealer and probably revoke
his Communication. The new Virginia
law makes II a felony to destroy the
mum bers.
