Almost complete lack of new build

port issued this week by Rudolph P.

due to imitation of building material
prices.

T|TLING OF CARS CALLS
FOR ENGINE NUMBERS
Many Autoists- Have Been Civ
ing Serial Numbers Instead
The Law Is Made Clear
OWNERS HAVE TROUBLE

Owners of automobiles in Annapo-
lis, as we'll as elsewhere, will have
their troubles with regard to the
proper titling of cars from now on,
as is being demonstrated in the Traf-
fic Court, of Baltimore. To minimize
many unpleasant experiences, those
who own machines are being advised
to become we'll posted on the titling
regulations, particularly with regard
to the registration on the title papers
of the engine numbers. A great num-
her of auto owners have hitherto been
placing the factory serial numbers
on the title papers, instead of the en-
CINE number.
The case of NJ. F. Weidemeyer, pro-
prietor of the Lafayette Garage. Bal
timore, in the Traffic Court in that
city yesterday was a case in point.
He was arraigned for not having one
of a number of cars he sold. recently
properly titled He was fined $500
on this charge, and So on the charge
of selling an untitled machine. He
appealed his case.
1t seems Mr. Weidemeyer bought
four of certain make of cars from
Betterton in August. He complied
with the titling law to the extent OF
applying for titles, but in the case OF
a particular car which he sold to a
Pennsylvania he could find no en-
CINE number. He looked all over the
engine casing and the wheels, but
could not find the figures, so in the
absence of an engine number he gave
the serial number Later policemen
