DRIVER OF AUTO; FINED $40

After insisting for three hours
that he was merely the helper and
not the driver Of a truck that broke
down near the Central railroad sta
ton last night, Frank Bacha. thir-
ty-two. a chauffeur of Brooklyn.
finally admitted he was the operator
OF the machine and submitted to ar
rest by Officer Carl Monroe on a
charge of failure to have registra-
ton and drivers license.
The machine broke an axle at
midnight. Monroe sked the chuf-
feur to show him his registration
card so he could make the regular
police report on the incident. Not
having either card the chauffeur at
tempted to bluff the matter off by
saying he was the helper and that
the driver had gone off for a short
time.
Monroe, however. was unconvinc-
ed and he stuck around while the
driver made fourteen telephone calls
for old in repairing his broken
truck. At 8 o'clock this morning.
after three hours of vain waiting, the
chauffeur gave up hope and admit
ted that he was the driver of the
machine. Before Recorder Harold
E. Pickersgill this morning Bacha
paid a fine of $40.

TRAFFIC JAM
FOR kEYPOR7
Well Handled by Borough Po-
Iicemen--N No State Officers
Are Available

KEYPORT, Aug. 1:-Despite the
fact that Commissioned Dill has
stated to the borough council that
owing to the fact that there are but
forty inspectors in the Department
of Motor Vehicles he is powerless to
appoint others for this section to
assist in the traffic jam over the
week-ends, the traffic in the borough
has been handled in a manner to
give credit to any community. The
local officers are busy every minute
during the week-ends directing
traffic and considering the immense
number of car passing through
town little confusion occurs and al
most nc accidents, particularly in
the borough limits.
In order to handle the traffic it is
necessary to halt it in m direction
to allow the cars in the other direc-
ton to BASS along Front street and
during this time the cars are block
ed for a long distance and it is i'm
possible to make any time for those
who are in a hurry. but by paying
attention to the signals of the traffic
cops who are stationed along Front
street at proper intervals no confu-
sion occurs and everyone seems to
be in a good humor despite the fact
that no one can hurry.
Inspector Weigand is constantly
on the move and apprehends any
number of speeders whom he finds
not obeying the motor vehicle law,
this usually occurring on the state
highway outside the borough limits.
Several smash-ups occurred recent
ly to which the inspector was call
ed, one taking place neal Rathbone's
garage where two cars came togeth-
err. and several others occurring
neare Middletown and Red Bank.
