MOTOR TITLE LAW
URGED BY ELDRIDGE
Ease With Which Stolen Autos Are
Disposed of Here Is Given
as Directors Reason,

A law requiring automobiles in the
District to have certificates of title
will be the principal recommendation
in the first annual report of Traffic
Director Eldridge, which will be sub
mitted to the Commissioners in a few
days.
The Commissioners themselves have
considered asking Congress for such a
law since Maryland entered into a
reciprocity agreement with the Dis
trict on tags. 1t was the understand
ing at that time that the local authori.
ties would seek title law. These GER.
tificates of title would help police to
trace the history Of a car and would
be much more of a safeguard than the
registration cards now iri use.
Maryland, Virginia and Pennsyl.
vania require titles to automobiles
and the lack of such a law makes this
city an easy place to dispose of stolen
vehicles, traffic officials point out.
1t is likely the traffic director also
will suggest in his report that the new
traffic act be amended in such a way
that the annual renewal of all oper-
ators' permits may be handled gradu
ally throughout the year instead OF
having to reissue all Of them at one
time. AS the law now reads, all per.
mits expire March 81, 1926.

PRE-WAR HISTORY

New Biographies Also Or
dered for D. c. Schools.
$4,000 Contract Let.

Many of the obsolete biographies
and histories in use in the public
grade schools will be replaced with
up-to date editions during the COM
ing school year as a result of the let
ting of contracts by the Commits
sioners today for the purchase OF
$50, 900 worth of text books.
r. L. Haycock, assistant superin-
tendent of schools, said today that
this is one of the largest eXpendi-
lures ever made at one time for new
books and was made possible be-
cause Congress this year increased
the fund for books.
Some progress already has been
made in getting rid of biographies
and histories that became obsolete
due to changes in the map of the
world following the World War, but
Mr.. Haycock said that up to this time
limited appropriations have necessi-
tated retaining many such books.
The situation with regard to his
tories, Mr.. Haycock said, has not
been as bad as in the case of geogra-
phies. The contracts awarded today
also will serve to retire large num-
Der of wornout books.

BALTIMORE, Md, August 2S.-
c. A. Baughman, commissioner of
vehicles for Maryland, today moved to
obtain reimbursement for victims of
the Waldorf speed trap"
Declaring that Sheriff Howard of
Charles County was collecting s6 costs
in each case, despite a ruling by At
torney General Thomas H. Robinson
that S1.65 is the maximum costs col
lectible under the State law. Commits
sioner Baughman brought the issue to
the attention of the attorney general
in the hope of obtaining a refund of
the difference-S4 35-to those Dis
trict motorists who have run afoul OF
the Waldorf authorities.
Costs Are Defended.
The sheriff is said to contend that
a local law passed by the last as
sembly gives him the right to collec,
the Sc, which is split evenly between
the sheriff and the deputy making
the arrest.
The attorney general, Commissioner
|Baughman says, has the right to order
the refund, IL his ruling Is in favor
of the motorists.
Baughman asserted that he is acting
in the interest of preserving a spirit
of cordiality between Maryland OH
Gals and District motorists.
The report of an auditor sent to in
vestigate the accounts of Justice OF
the Peace Thomas Wilkerson, before
whom the motorists were convicted
shows that the justice assessed
sheriff's costs in each case, according
to D. Marshall Schroeder, deputy com
missioner of vehicles, who has been ir
charge of the investigation.
SO Drivers Fined.
The records show that IA drivers
were fined $56 by Justice Wilkersor
last Saturday, and, in addition, justice {
costs of $3.50 and sheriff's costs OF
$S4, were collected, Schroeder says.
Twenty-four convictions resulted
Sunday out of 81 arrests, and fines o.
$153 were assessed. The sheriff's cost.
for the day amounted to $139 and the
Justices costs to $29.45, according te

Blow to Plan.
Special Dispatch to The Star


ROCKVILLE. Md, August 2s.-
The county commissioners for this
county have Joined in the fight against
the establishment of a belt line freight
railroad to encircle the District of
Columbia and have addressed to the
Public Service Commission of Mary
land communication in which they
register emphatic disapproval and
give some very pointed reasons there
for.
The communication Is signed by
Commissioner Lacy Shaw, who Is
acting president Of the board during
the absence in Europe of the presi-
dent, DIR. Benjamin c. Perry. and is
as follows:
GAS the administrative and execu-
tive board of Montgomery County we
feel that we are called upon to urge
your commission to deny the priv
| ileges and rights requested by the
Loughboroueh Belt Line and Ter
minal Co. as stated IN the petition
| pending before your commission in
/ case No. 2384.
THE promoters of the belt line
scheme are quoted in the press as ex-
pecting to encircle the District of Co
and adjacent freight terminals and
factory sites at a distance of approx
mately l mile from the District line
| in Montgomery and Prince Georges
| counties. The petition now pending
| before your commission would allow
this or any other location that the
| belt line company might be able to
condemn. The location of such a belt
line would be one of the greatest set
backs that could overtake the people
! the property values and the future
Of Montgomery County.
Citizens in Protest.
| "A number of the towns Of this
| county located near Washington have
| already petitioned your commission
| through their elected town govern
ments to deny charter rights to the
belt line; a number of citizens as
sociations and individuals have alsc
! petitioned your commission to refuse
this charter; we are also reliably in
| formed that a similar petition car
be expected from each town govern
ment or citizens association in the
area affected.
I'VE desire to call the attention Of
your commission to the fact that the
edge of Montgomery County adjacent
to the District of Columbia extend
