How near can you guess to the
total value OF the almshouse property

Journal man that question and the
latter guessed $500 and was sur
prised when told that it is 1855, 909.75,
by the latest appraisal. Then the X.
J. man took his turn at asking ques-
tons:

care OF the poor last year,"

was so spent, against s61i,074 in the

1920 than In 1919"

"'Mr. X owns a car which he oper-
ates as a public car and drives his car
himself. devoting practically all his
time to the business. Is Mr.. X a
chauffeur within the meaning OF the
statute above quoted?'
I'VE answer this question in the
negative for the following reasons:
The word chauffeur as used and
understood by the public, including
the National Association Of Automo-
bile Manufacturers. and the American
Automobile Association, means not
the owner but one who is hired to
operate an automobile. and if the
Legislature had simply used the word
Chauffeur without attempting to de-
fine it, there would have been, we
think. no question raised as to its
meaning. The definition used, how
ever. does not broaden or enlarge the
class to which it belongs. 1t shall
mean any person employed, etc.
"a study of the statutes and de-
cisions Of other states regarding the
operation of motor vehicles is Of some
help, for it discloses no statute or de-
cision which hold that the owner of a
car who drives himself is chauffeur,
but on the contrary the word is held
to mean paid operator as dis
tinguished from a person who oper-
ates his own car.
in New York the statute defines
chauffeur as any person operating a
motor vehicle as mechanic, en-
ployee or for hire. The attorney
general Of that state has given an
opinion to the effect that under the
law only paid operator need be
licensed
1.-THE statute of Massa chusetts de-
fines the word chauffeur to mean any
person who operates a motor vehicle
other than his own and we think this
is only a declaration of the meaning
of the word as generally used and
understood. We have no doubt that
our Legislature intended that it
should have the same construction"
