Alleged Graft i'm Garages

serts Certain Dealers Over.
charoe Motorists and sniff

District Attorney Edward Swami yes
terday received d committee represent
ing the Garage Owners Protective
League, 1877 Fourth Avenue, with a re-
quest that measures be taken against
certain garage owners, who are alleged
to be in COLLISION with chauffeurs for
the purpose of overcharging automobile
owners.
The District Attorney was informed
that conspiracy exists under the terms
of which cauffeurs receive a commission
for bringing in machines, and 10 per
cent of the gross amount of the bill for
gasoline and supplies
In consideration of this, it was said.
the chauffeur permits the garage
owner to pad his bill for supplies as
much as SO per cent month in many
instances. The overcharges are car
ried into all items of car upkeep. such
as shoes, inner tubes and minor re-
pairs.
The District Attorney is now con-
Quoting an investigation to discover
what garage owners are paying com
mis- ons and padding bills to machine
overs. 1t was said yesterday that
persons found guilty of this practice
will be prosecuted for larceny.
