EMERSON SEES IN
NEW TRAFFIC LAWS
S25O,0OO SAVING
SAYS AUTHORITY TO APPOINT
SPECIAL INVESTIGATORS WILL
MEAN LARGE REDUCTION TO
STATES EXPENSES.

Springfield. ILL.,, July 6-The new
law giving Secretary OF State Louis l.
Emmerson power 70 appoint inNesti
gators to cooperate with local author
tiles in enforcing automobile and road
laws will save the state at least $780,
600 q year. the automobile department
OF the secretarys once estimates.
This amount has been escaping an
nually because here has not been ade
Quate law enforcement machinery.
The increase OF more than 800 per
cent in the amount of money collected
in automobile license fees under Sec
rotary Emmerson, it is pointed out,
has been Que partly to the co-opera-
tion he has secured from local author
tiles. With this new agency under
his direction, he expects observance
of the law to approach 100 per cent.
while only Few investigators will
be employed" Secretary Emmerson
said today, by sending them to COM
munities where the law has been
loosely enforced, and by establishing
complete cooperation between the M
NGSLlk anu INC lbtul uitiibi A'i'e
throughout the state, much can be ac'
complished. The investigators will
have the powers of constableS and can
make arrests in any county.
Local officials generally speaking,
have shown commendable interest inI
arresting yiolators of the law Tequir-
ing automobile licenses, but the need
OF some agency with statewide powers
to assist In the detection of less OBJ
vious violations and to act in com
munities where local authorities are
negligent, has long been recognized.
AS all of the money collected in auto
mobile license fees goes into the fund
for the construction of hard road2
every citizen is directly interested in
strict compliance with the law.
THE investigators will assist local
authorities in discovering and punish
Ing those who own two cars and buy
but one set of license plates; auto
mobile dealers who buy but one set Oh
plates and use card board figures for
several other cars; owners Of trucks !
who operate them under a passenger |
