admit that the fight Is on. The H.
sue really dates back to the big
railway strike In 1919 when the
Food Ministry webbed the entire
island with an elaborate motor trans
port system which worked far In
excess OF expectations.
That demonstration showed not
only that q new method Of trans
p~ortation was possible but that on
account OF the peculiar Topographic

tenn might be even better adapted
to the needs OF the island than
railways.
Motor advocates Immediately got
busy on the development Of a per.
manent system, first as auxiliary to
the railways and later to enter into
open competition. with the hope OF
showing them into the background
There are many local conditions
in England which make the island
a particularly favorable test field
for motor transport.
England is small. She has the
finest road system in Europe. The
average haul Is short. Most ship

count for the tiny freight cars in

BILL PUTS PROOF BURDEN
ON DRIVER IN DISTRICT
Senator Fletcher's Measure Is Re.
ferred to Senate Com
mittee.

A bill introduced by Senator
Fletcher Of Florida today would place
the burden upon the operator of an
automobile which injured a person
or property in the highways Of the
District Of Columbia of proving that
the injury was due solely to the per-
son injured or the person to whom
the property belonged.
In onering the bill Senator Fletcher
said that the discussion in the Senate
yesterday Of violations Of traffic reg
ulations in the District and the large
number Of injuries that occur here
made 1t imperative that Congress
should enact legislation to remedy the
situation. He said that he had intro
duced similar bill in the last Con-
gress, which was referred to the ju-
dietary committee. He suggested that
the bill introduced today should be
referred to- that committee, TOO.
Senator Jones of Washington, how
ever. pointed out that the bill relates
to the District Of Columbia only
and for that reason asked that it be
referred to the Senate District COM
mityee. Senator Fletcher said he had
no objection to that course. and the
bill was finally referred to the Dis
trict committee
