UTILITY BOARD URGES
LAW ON AUTO BUSES

TRENTON. Jan. 2.-Enactment of
a separate law, giving it greater jur-
isdiction over the operation of auto
mobile buses, modification of rules
regarding the obligations of street
railway companies in the matter of
paving, and the fixing of $1,000 a
day as the penalty to be paid by
utility companies for failing to re-
sumo service after being ordered to
do so are the important recommen-
dations made by the public utility
commission in its annual report to
Givernor Silzer today.
Specifically, the board suggests
that the present utility law be
amended to exclude from it the ref
erence to auto buses, commonly call
ed jitneys, and that authority to reg
ulate the operation of buses be pro-
vided for by new act, supplement
tary to the public utility act, that
this define thefextent of the boards
authority, to Regulate and control
such buses, provided that no local
license to operate a bus which will
be subject to the boards jurisdiction
shall be granted. nor any municipal
ity permit the operation of such a
bus within the Municipal limits un-
less and until the operation is APP
proved by the board land that opera
ton of a bus without the boards
approval under conditions requiring
such approval shall be q cause for
forfeiture of any license granted by
the commissioner of motor vehicles.

70 ARRESTSFOR
1928 LICENSES
Wholesale Arrests Here for
not Having Proper Auto
Plates on Cars
GENERAL FINE OF S25
Big Amount is Collected in
Recorders Court-Arrests
are Continued

Traffic Officer Nels Lybeck early
yesterday morning apprehended Ben
Smith, of Montclair. at his traffic
post. Smith and Prospect street, on
a charge of having 1928 license
plates on his car and following this
arrest, there was steady stream of
cars to headquarters for similar
violation and at an early hour this
morning the total had reached sew
enty.
Plenty of notice had been given by
Chief Niels j. Tonnesen following
the receipt of orders from Motor We
hicle Commissioner William Dill.
There was no time allowance for any
cars except those from Pennsylvania,
the orders from Trenton made
known.
Recorder Harold E. Pickersgill ar
raigned sixty-seven persons yester-
day for this violation as a result of
arrests made bv Officers Frank
Burke, James Nolan, Lybeck, James
Egan. James MCGOWAN, Albert Me-
Donald, Charles Jorgensen. Lester
Seaman, Pat Dwyer, John Riedy.
William Heating, John Kurpiel,
Frank Seiboth, Sergeant John Lar
son, Frank Rubaha and Aaron
FranzbIau. The general fine was
s25 and when other charges were
preferred. heavier fines were I'M
posed. Officers MEG Gowan, Mcdonald
and Nolan brought in a prisoner
apiece early this morning, increasing
the total uls to that time to seventy
Several trucks and pleasure cars
were found with a home made plate
the operators apparently having
been warned that the law enforce
ment had been started in this city.
New York residents were the main
offenders, but there were also good
many from this state, one from Con-
necticut, one from Illinois and two
from Michigan. Some of the best
excuses obtainable were offered. but
the law was made as plain as pos
sible and there was nothing the re-
corder or police could do.
Samuel Margaretten, one of the
local men arrested, was fined SIS
and he talked S25 worth in trying
to get his fine back. 1t is said that
he was only planning to go short
distance, but shortly after his start
he was picked up by Officer Burke.
One New York driver with 1928
plates showing. stopped in front of
the police station thinking the cars
stopped there, were lined up for the
ferry. He was apprehended by Off
GER Jorgensen.
Rolling eyes of females had no
effect on the police officers, for a
good many of the fair sex were
brought in for the "old plate" viola
tion. All of the violators were treat
ed alike by Recorder Pickersgill, the
same fine being imposed in every
case except when other charges were
preferred and the offender was de-
sirous of showing the arresting Off
Ger, that the latter was wrong.
There is every indication that the
century mark will be passed by the
local authorities before the day is
over.

The action of the board in naming
