In reviewing business done during

stated that both the volume and the

considered in relation to general bust
ness conditions which prevailed thru
out the United States during this per-
iod.
Commenting on future prospects he
said that in his judgment basic factors
indicate the company could expect good
business during the next few months
as there are trustworthy grounds for
believing that crop conditions in most
territories will be reasonably salts
factory and furthermore the product
of the Nash Motors company is now
held in higher regard by purchasers
than. ever before in the history of the
company.
Another reason for anticipating sub

that stocks are well within normal

SCHOLEY STARTS
A NEW CRUSADE
Claims That North Shore
Buses Are Not Prop
erly Licensed.
REPORTS TO STATE

Constable John Scholye, who few
years ago won the sobriquet of the
"Lone Crusader" when he launched a
lnumber Of one-man raids on gambling
devices mad on places where liquor was
being sold in violation of law, is on a
new crusade.
This time he is on the trail of an
entirely new variety of alleged law
breakers. He is out after motor buss-
es which he alleges are not carrying
proper licenses or have not met the
full regulations Of the laws in other
respect.
At present his crusade is launched
against the buses operated by the
North Shore railway line between
Waukegan and Kenosha, He has re-
ported to state authorities that these
buses are not carrying both a Wis
consin and Illinois license and main
tains that this is necessary. This
morning Crusader Scholey notified a
trainman Of the North Shore line that
he had reported the alleged irregular
ity to the state officials and intended
to follow up the complaint.
Wants Two Licenses.
constable Scholey maintains that
these buses since they operate in the
two states should have license plates
from each state and cites the fact that
this was done last year.
James Dolan, agent OF the North
Shore at Kenosha, when told of the
complaint this morning, stated that
this question had been taken up with
state officials and that the company
had been informed that so long as they
were licensed in the state from which
the busses started, they were keeping
the law. No other license plate was
necessary, it was said.
Mr.. Dolan stated that the company
was willing to meet every requirement
1t had done this.
Constable Scholey is also maintain
Ing that the buses should be bonded
maintaining that they are carrying
passengers within the city limits.
just An Accommodation.
Regarding this complaint, Mr.. Dolan
stated that there was only one instance
of this and that was done merely as
an accommodation to the travelling
public and with the agreement of the
street railway company here. When
the North buses entered business
here, an agreement was reached that
they would not take on passengers
within the city limits. Since that time
q large territory has been annexed on
the Sheridan road and by special
agreement the buses were to take on
passengers in that district since no
other transportation facilities were be-
ing furnished the public there.
Constable Scholey claims that bonds
ara needed because Of this service.

TO ASK CHANGE
IN REGULATIONS
Register of Deeds in SEES
sion Here to Seek New
Legislation.
TWENTY ANSWER HERE

Legislation which would simplify
the filing of chattle mortgages and
other legal documents will be sought
in resolutions to be presented to the
registers of deeds of the counties of
Wisconsin who stared two day con-
vention in Kenosna this morning,
This doomed. up as the most important
business of the convention this morn
ing when the opening session was held
in the circuit court room at the court
house.
The present law allows the filing
of chattel mortgages with town and
township officials as well as with the
register of deeds. This leads to much
irreguIarity, it is maintained, and
makes it impossible to keep 9. close
check in the event that efforts were
made to file two mortgages on the
same piece of property. The resolution
being considered would make it nee
essary for all such documents to be
filed with the register of deeds of each
county. n
Resolutions favoring the adoption
of e. tract index system in every coun-
ty are also to be presented.
