STATE HOUSE
Meeting unci Saturday.


, subject handed down by Deputy At
torney General William Fl. Fisher, as
follows:
you ask for an opinion upon the fol-
lowing question: Under Section of
Chapter 319 of the Public Laws of
1915 as amended by Chapter 143 of the
sion be authorized to assist in the
maintenance of any bridges except
those built under the provisions of
Chapter 3l9 of the Public Laws of
1915, AS amended. or is Section 6 gem
erai in its scope and under the provi-
sions of this section can the Commits
sion assist in the maintenance of all
bridges throughout the State?'
An examination of the original
stat ute, s shows VS. that it appIied to
except ANY Interstate or interna-
tional bridge or bridges" and it was
not. therefore, general in scope so as
to include all bridges in towns where
the tax rate for construction or re-
construction of bridges exceeded IN
any one year the rate of five mills.
The proportion of the cost to be borne
by the State was fixed by the statute
at twenty per cent with no authority
upon the part of the commissioners
facts OF the case might seem to war
rant. This proportion was changed
somewhat be Chapter 40 of the Pub
lie Laws of 1919 which related to the
construction and repair of hghwav
bridges. This, however. had nothing
to do with the cost of maintenance Of
such bridges. which was governed en-
tirely by Section of Chapter 319 of
the Public Laws of 1915 until tho
amendment of 1921. There is nothing,
however in this amendment to indi-
cate an intention on the part of the
Legislature TO change or enlarge the
class of bridges coming under the act
We conclude. therefore, that under the
amendment the use of the States
money is 'authorized only on those
bridges coming under the provision Of
said Chapter 3l9. No change was
made in the class Of bridges. The
must still he those located on any
main thoroughfare."

Motor Vehicle Dealers
Affected by the New Law

THE New Motor Vehicle Law
/ makes some very radical changes as
to the rights conferred upon dealers
in motor vehicles under the certif-
cate of registration issued by the
secretary of State" remarked H. A
/ Shorey, Jr., chief of the Motor We
hicle Inspection Department of the
state Highway Commission. There
| has always been more or less of a
misunderstanding as to just what a
dealer in motor vehicles could do
1t has evidently been the belief of the
/ dealer that he had absolutely the
same privileges as the private indi-
vidual, notwithstanding the fact that
he has paid only half as much for
the registration of a car as the pri-
vate owner.
con a recent trip through ARGOS
took county l found a. number of
people making no bones of using
dealers plates on potato trucks. In
Caribou 1 found q big truck loaded
with furniture operating under a
registration issued to Pittsfield
dealer. On the Portland Brunswick
road recently, one Of my men picked
up a, big truck which was hauling
furniture, the plates Of a Portland
dealer being attached. When he
! stopped the driver and asked for an
explanation it was found that the
! dealer had let the truck outright.
probably under that clause of the old
law which apparently allows the
dealer to let his car, registration
plates and all for a period not ex-
ceeding five successive days.
Under the law now in force the
dealer pays SIS for five sets of plates
(half price after Oct y which he
can use on any car regardless of the
fact as to whether it is small road
ster, big limousine or or a five-ton
truck and it is provided that all mo-
tor vehicles owned or controlled by
him shall be regarded as registered
under the general distinguishing
number assigned to him until sold.
exchanged. let for hire. or loaned for
period of not exceeding five sue
cessive days.
ION January !. 1922, an entirely
new deal will go into effect IS to the
registration Of dealers. The mini
mum fee for registration is $50. 1t
entities the dealer to three
sets OF number plates. If
he desires more than three sets he
may secure two more sets upon the
payment of $40 for each additional
set. In case he desires more than
I'VE pairs of plates he may secure as
many more az he wishes over and
above the five sets. upon the pay
ment or 70 for each additional set.
In addition to increasing the reg
istration fee the Legislature has con-
siderably curtailed the right which
the registration certificate confers
upon the dealer. 1t absolutely cuts
out delivery business on a dealers
registration and allows a commercial
vehicle to be operated under a deal
ers registration only for demonstra-
ton purposes or in case of a bona
fide emergency
The loaning of plates. although
generally considered legal and in
dulged in to some extent, has never
peen countenanced by law. II is
perhaps to be regretted that the leg.

islature did not make provision for
some kind of temporary registra-
ton which would allo-- a person to
drive a car home from the place of
business of the dealer OF whom he
has purchased it. 1t has doubtless
been the custom TO take the car home
with dealers plates attached, but in
view Of the statute which provides
that upon the transfer Of ownership
OF motor vehicle, its regis
tration shall expire and that no per-
son shall attach or permit to be
attached to motor vehicle a num-
Der plate assigned to another vehicle,
it is difficult to see how this custom
can be justified under the existing
law"
