AUTO RECIPROCITY
HIT HARD BY RIGGS

One of the decisions rendered by
Judge Riggs in the Montgomery
County Police Court yesterday oeal'
a body blow TO the principe OF auto
mobile reciprocity for when the
American motorists have fought Tor
years, the American Automobile AS
sociation declared yesterday
The decision to which the A. A. "A;
takes objection is that which would
compel a resident of Washington
who owns a home in Maryiafa u
take out an automobile license ana
registration in Maryland even IL ne
resides in that state for less than
three months of the year.
Law As Seen by A. A. a.
Under the law and reciprocal auto
mobile arrangements as heretofore
interpreted" the \. A. y. declared,
"a resident of Washington had to hVe
in Maryland for more than three
months in the year before II became
obligatory to secure a Maryland Ii
cense and registration pate. BUT
under Judge Riggs ruling In the
Iamberton case on Saturday every
Washingtonian who owns property
in Maryland, irrespective of the time
he spends in the State, would be COM
PEELED to comply with the motor We
hiCle laws of the State of MaryIand.
1T would apply to the owner OF the

that possession of property or a
house rather than length OF resi-

IF this decision is allowed to stand
It will cost a great deal of money to
thousand of bona-tide residents OF
the District of Columbia and Will go
a long way to upset the entire prin-
ciple of reciprocity as between the
State of Maryland and the District.
Officials of the national motoring
body intimated today that If the

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, September 19.-
The campaign against residents OF
Maryland whose automobiles carry
District of Columbia instead of Mary

in 172 arrests and it is understood
the end is not yet. Sheriff Plummer
stated this evening he will have his
men ION the job" next week.
Judge Samuel Riggs. who presides
in the Police Court here, has so far
q disposed of IS cases-11 yesterday
and 81 today-and the others are
scheduled fer Monday and Tuesday
of next wee (. Yesterday and today
about 20 cases We're continued be-
cause of the failure of the accused to
be on hand as cited.
OF those so far tried have been
fined, sentences suspended in II
cases upon payment of costs. and 20
cases dismissed.
Judge Riggs is holding that in cases
of persons who are temporarily in
the State and who are simply visiting
or. boarding the reciprocity agree
ment between Maryland and the Dis
trfct OF Columbia applies for three
months. but that those who have es-
tabliShed homes in the State, no
matter how recently, must have
Maryland tags and. Maryland oper-
atorS' permits.
He IS also ruling that it is no
violation of law for a resident of
Maryland who has a Maryland oper-
ator's permit to drive the car of his
owner out into the State if that car
is registered in the District of Colum-
bia and carries a District license tag
Notwithstanding persistent reports
to the contrary, no charge has been
