others substituted, bent mud guards
replaced and other marks that would
assist In identifying the machines re-

The decision to give the owners a
chance to look over the recovered
machines was prompted by the nu-
merous requests received by the au-
thorities from persons whose machines
have been stolen during the period
when the auto ring flourished in this
section. Several machines have al
ready been identified as owned by
Springfield residents.
All the recovered machines. wheth-
