JUDICIARY COMM.
HEARING ON ACTS ON .
OPERATION OF AUTOS

The committee on judiciary re-
quired less than 90 minutes Thurs
day afternoon to give hearing to four
acts relating to the operation OF au-
tomobiles in the State of Maine and
one providing for the elimination OF
the publication of monthly motor
vehicle registration lists. Only one
man interested in any of the meas
ureS appeared at the hearing, Frank
y. Marshall. counsel for the Maine
Automobile Association. explaining
what two or three of them meant.
The act introduced in the House by
Representative Charles J. Nichols of
Portland and raising the maximum
penalty for reckless driving, going
away without stopping after an ac-
cident and using a motor vehicle
without authority from $50 to 5000
and making tn, maximum penalty for
a second violation of the law $500,
with Imprisonment for three months
in the first case and of one year in
the second as an alternative, was the
first to he considered. Mr.. Marshall
spoke briefly in its favor. saying it
was felt that the penalty should be
greater than at present.
Senator Frederick w. Hinckiey's
act to regulate the right Of way OF
vehicles at the intersection of roads,
so that those going to the right
should be given the preference was
also supported by Mr.. Marshall, who
! said that every other New England
state and practically all Eastern
States had laws Of this kind.
The act relating to the publication
of the motor vehicle registration
lists was introduced by Senator
Buzzell. chairman of the committee,
and eliminates that portion of section
76 of chapter 2l1 of the public laws
of 1921 authorizing the issuing of
such lists by the Secretary Of State.
but retaining the provision that he
shall publish en- abstract of the stat
utes pertaining to such vehicles and
the law of the road and rules Of
vehicles and the rules and regula-
tons having to do with them.
Mr.. Marshall explained that there
| were very few calls for the regtstra-
ton lists nov. and that the Secre-
tary of state fcit the expense in con-
nection with their publication was
unnecessary.
There was no opposition to the act
of Representative Saunders of Lu-
bee raising the speed limit from 20
i miles an hour to 80 miles.
| Mr.. Saunders said that he had no
! desire to break the law, neither did
| the people of his section of the State,
! but he felt that the limit should be
raised.
There was hut a brief discussion
! of Representative Makers act to
amend the public laws of 1921 relat-
/ ing to the jurisdiction of the Public
! Utilities Commission over certain
motor vehicles. it being explained
| that this measure was aimed at
! Portland jitnays that are competing
with the street railway. This act
; provides that any owner or operator
of public motor vehicle convicted
| of wilfully violating any rule or reg
ulation of the PGblic Utilities Com
! mission should be punished by a fine
of not less than $50 nor more than
500. or by Imprisonment for not OK
| cecding 60 DAYS.
