DECISION SATURDAY
ON j. S. CHAUFFEUR
Attorneys Argue Right of
D. C. to Require Permit of
Federal Drivers.

The opening session ot Traffic Court
yesterday was devoted to arguments
submitted by United States District
Attorney Peyton Gordon and Solicitor
i. b. Horigan of the Department Of
Agriculture in the case of the District
of Columbia against Louis Crosson. a
chauffeur of the Department of Agri-
culture. charged with operating an
automobile for the department with
out the required operators permit.
The federal government, through
District Attorney Gordon and Solicitor
fforigan of the Department of Asri-
culture. some months ago had argued
he question before Judge McMahon.
challenging the authority of the Dis
trict Commissioners to require a
chauffeur of an automobile owned and
operated for the service OF any
branch OF the federal government to
require of Il federal employed chauf-
feur a permit To operate an automo-
bile owned and operated i'll the service
of the federal government.
Opinion of McMahOn.
On October Judge Mcmahon
handed down an exhaustive opinion
in this case. in which he held that the
District Commissioners are vested
with the power to regulate trainc. re-
quira permits to operate an automo-
bile, under an ac: of Congress. and
that that law is applicable to federal
government ChauifeurS employed IN
any branch of the government service
the same as is applicable TO oper-
atcrS of private or publicly owned au-
romobiles. there being n" distinction
or difference between a government
employed chauffeur operating gov
,.rnment machine and those operated
by private individuals.
The court in its opinion went far-
ther and said that under the act OF
Congress giving the District COM
missioners the authority to regulate
traffic all operators permits should be
issued annually.
AlleEe Powers Isurped.
