ruined TIRES DUE
I. TO 3 Chief CAUSES
Under limitation, Heedlessness
In Driving, and Misalignment

~ WALTER MILTON in Motor.

OF all the ways that have been hit
upon by careless motorists for ruin

accepted as standard-underinf

heedlessness in driving. There are

the commonest cause for the early
demise of a casing.

car maker or service statlon shouio

Wobbly wheels are almost as bsh

when the tires actually slide nat

Swift driving over roads which are

mated by an examination OF tracks.
There are places where the rear

| induced by accelerated rotation OF the
wheels while in air. Careless driv-
ing over sharp stones Is even more
destructive. because the stones cut

and dirt work their way and rot the
inner fabric. Most drivers will turn
out to avoid a brick or a broken
bottle in the road. but how many

Another important point II dis
posed Of In this case. One OF the ef-
fects OF the decision was to make II
possible for a railroad company to
give exclusive rights to q particular
taxicab company In connection with
taxicab service In front OF the rail-
road station. 1t was contsndcd that
this amounted to the leEaiization OF
q monopoly In q matter OF great pub
lie concern. and that 1t was not
within the power OF q city to effect
such a result, with the possible mulct-
ing OF the public in excessive charges
that was entailed. These arguments.
however, had no weight with the
court.
Similar questions have arisen in
other States. and the decisions OF the
different courts are irreconcilable.
The views of the Kansas court are
sustained by decisions rendered in
Massachusetts,. New Hampshire. Vir-
ginia. Connecticut, Georgia and Mis-
souri,. There are also several de-
cisions OF the lower United States
courts to the same effect. Contrary
rulings have been made in England.
and in Kentucky. Indiana. Illinois.

ing property owners. The particular
ordinance In question In this case
provided against the erection OF a
garage In a residence district within
forty feet OF adjoining properly,
without the consent OF the owners OF
such property. A test ruling wa.
sought In the case TO determine the
question OF the validity OF the ordi-
nance.
The court decided that the ordl-
nance was invalid. One OF the prih-
eipsl reasons given by the court ior
Its ruling Was THAT the eneet OF the
ordinances was TO leave TO the arbi-
trary discretion OF property owners
the question of the use OF adjoining

does not question the power OF city

TO prohibit absolutely. the erection OF
garages within particular limits. but
In such cases. the court points out
the prohibition would at least be uni
form In application and would be sp-
piled by competent public authority.
The ordinance In question. op the
other hand. left the matter 10 the
variable views and uncertain innu-
enees prevailing among prosits prop
erty owners.
This question has arisen In other
States also, and the decisions are not
In harmony. Ordinances substan-
TALLY similar TO the one above re-
ferred TO have been held TO be valid
In Illinois and In Rhode Island. In
Wisconsin such an ordinance was
held to be invalid. as In the Della
ware case.
The supreme court OF Kansas was
recently called upon to deal with the
question of the liability OF the owner
OF an automobile for an accident
which occurs when his chauffeur 10

OF the owner and OF himself. The
facts OF the case disclose that the
chauffeur was sent upon an srrand.
He had permission to use the car.
Upon the return trip he picked up a

er's residence, and had no intention
OF doing so. He simply wanted 10
give his friends q little Joy ride on
his way back. During the trip
pedestrian was run over through the
alleged negligence OF the chauffeur.
The injured person brought his SUIT
against the owner OF the car, relying
upon the general principle OF law thst
the owner OF the vehicle is liaole
for the negligence of his servants
while they are In charge OF the vo-
hicle. The owner relied upon the
general exception to the rule, VIZ,
ihat the employer 10 not responsible
for the acts OF his servants when
they are acting for. their own pleasure
or purposes. The court decided that
under the circumstances stated the
exception had no application. and that
the owner was responsible for his
chauffsur's negligence.
Another recent Kansas case deals
with a question involving some Of the
considerations dealt with in the above
mentioned Delaware case relating 10
garages. The question In this case
was the validity OF municipal ordl
nance which prohibited hack or TAXI

out the written consent OF the persons
owning or controlling the abuttins
property, and providing further that
consent once obtained could be re-
voked upon ten days notice at any
time. "
The court was urged to declare this
ordinance void because 1t literary

which were now compelled to rely

consequences stated. 1t pointed out
tina. property owners have certain
rights and interests in the use made
