MUST CARRY their
LICENSE RECEIPTS
California and Washington
Require Owners to Show
Certificates.

Motor tourists who are planning
on visiting California had better dig
out their license receipt or certif-
icate which Is issued to each car
owner with his license plates and
place the same in a frame on the
dash in accordance with Washing
ton and California State laws.
The California law requires visit
Ing motorists to register with the
nearest police or sheriffs office
within twenty-four hours after ar
irving in the State. A tag is placed
upon the out-of-State license plate
and a permit Is given to the owner
or driver Of the car to operate on
the highways of that State. There
Is no charge for this service and II
enables the officials to keep q check
on all foreign cars within the boun-
daries OF the State of California.
The law from the California State
Automobile Association follows:
During the past few months
there has been a great many mo-
florists from your State who have
arrived in California without hav-
ing their receipts from the home
state showing they had paid the
current years license fee. The COLI
sequence Is when they go to the
motor vehicle department to get a
visitors tag, giving them the cour-
tesy OF the roads of the State for
ninety days, they are refused, as
the department absolutely insists
upon motorists presenting their
receipts and it Is necessary to tele-
graph your secretary of State con-
hrming that they are the owners
Of their respective cars.
May We ask that you impress on
your members coming to California
that they be equipped with their
home state receipt or certificate. as
it is very annoying to the mot orists
to arrive here and then have to wire
back to their home State. thus vast
ing a good deal Of their time and
adding to their worry and uneasi-
ness"

the statement of Arthur Z. Barker
vice president in charge Of sales OF
the combined companies. When this
organization took charge in the fall
of 1920. the first steps taken were
to manufacture the Maxwell car in

Motor Vehicles

Records of horse-drawn vehicles
and automobiles licensed in Chi
cago for the years 1914 and 1921
present a striking object lesson OF
remarkable increase in motor use
and the gradual elimination OF the
horse for city transportation pur-

In 1921 only 1856 horse vehicles
were licensed. while motor cars in

motorcycles are not included.
OF the motor vehicles, 29,239 were

PETITIONS ARE LAID
OVER BY LOCAL BOARD

TOTTENVILLE, Oct. 1.-two
petitions before the local board of
public Improvement at Borough
Hall Tuesday night, effecting i'm
provements in Tottenville, were laid
over for a month until the next
meeting of the board in November.
The petition to construct a sewer in
Hopping n from Amboy road
to Bentley street was laid over to
get an opinion from the corporation
counsel as whether an outlet could
be constructed through an easement
given William H. B. Totten in 1897.
There were none of the property
owners from this section at the
hearing because they had been noti-
fled in advance of the proceedings
to be taken.
There was no opposition to the
Barnard venue street widening
other than hat the petition filed
by the property owners was for a
fifty foo street and the city requires
that a new street shall be at least
sixty feet wide. Borough Engineer
Theodore Oxholm had the matter
laid over with the idea that he
would take it up unofficially with
the local board at the next meeting
and to accept the fifty foot width.
There was a good delegation of
property owners of the street at the
)eeting hal included Martin A.
Gsaimer. Henry Stolzenthaler, Ed
ward j. Parker, John Peterson,
Frank Vargo. c. f. Troy, Roy Mel
vim, Freeman Palmer, Harry Essel-

Vehicle Commissioner William l..
Dill will shortly send out bulletins

it was announced, requesting them
to revoke the licenses of motor We
hicle offenders instead of merely
timing them for violations of the
motor vehicle regulations. The pur-
pose of this request is to bring home
the Importance to drivers of safety

that the greatest deterrent to reck-
less driving was the revocation of
the right to drive a motor car.
Commissioner Dill called atten-
ton to the fact that from January
l to September 1 of this year there
were 29S fatal accidents, 263 of the
persons involved being residents of
the state and twenty-six non-resi-
dent motorists. The commissioner
declared that ninety per cent of
fatalities could be averted by pre-
venting the obsession of speed ma

HERBERT SEES POLITICS
IN HIGHWAY ATTACK
CONTINUED from page u


ties of the state. In his statement
today the former highway commits
sion chairman charges ~insincerity
upon the part of his successors in
their claim about the South Am
boy road and says that at this time
the present board is constructing
for which deeds have not been de-
livered to the state. Mr. Herbert's
complete statement follows:
The Edwards State Highway
Commission reveals its true charac-
ter in it's attempt to discredit its
predecessors in office by publishing,
jus. before election, a statement de-
scrihing a condition about which 1t
has heen fully informed for over
two years and which implies that
the Edge commission failed to prop
eriy protect the interests of the state
when it paved a section of State
Highway Route No. A. in South AM
boy before the title to the land
over which the road was construct
ed had actually passed from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company TO
the state.
1.-THE charges would be unworthy
of notice did they not impute to the
AIaSS Gil
disregard for the states interests.
The character of the personnel of
that commission is sufficient refuta-
ton CT airy such charge.
THE facts in the matter are SIM
ply these:
I'm 1909, the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company. at its own expense,
built for the use of the public, the
roadway in question for the purpose
of providing a bypass around the
Hole in the WALL a VIGOROUSLY
dangerous passage under the
tracks of the railroad company.
with the intentions of donating the
new roadway to the city of South
Amboy, in return for the approval
of the city to the permanent aban-
donment Of the Hole in the WALL
Repeated efforts by the Edge COM
mission to bring about an agree
ment between the railroad company
and the city having failed. it be-
came necessary for the commission
to enter in direct negotiations with
the company for the purpose of ac-
curing the land for use as a portion
of state highway route No. 4. These
negotiations. early in 1919, resulted
in an agreement with the company
to convey the land to the state at
$l,UUU per acre IOr approximately
four and done-half acres. In addi-
ton thereto, in order that the state
might later be in a position to move
back the bridge abutments and thus
widen the road, the commission
agreed to pay to the railroad COM
pany the sum of SIS. 900, which rep
resented a portion Of the cost to the
railroad company of eliminating
two grade crossings by the con-
struction of bridges.
1.-The methods pursued by the
Edge commission were admittedly
reasonable and economical, the facts
in the matter were generally known
and the transaction vas open to re-
view by the representatives of the
press had they considered it of suf-
ficient general importance to take
special notice of it.
