POLICE MAY ASSIST
IN ISSUING PERMITS
EIdridge Would Solve Prob
lem by Using PatroImen
and Mails.

Chief of Police Edwin Z. Hesse an
nounced today that his department
would cooperate with Traffic Director
NJ. o. Eldridge in any plan that he
works out for the speedy reissuance
of automobile operators permits.
Mr.. Eldridge's latest scheme is To
use members of the police force for
distribution of the applications for
drivers permits to motorists on their
respective beats. The cards would be
mailed back to the Traffic Bureau
with the necessary fee. The permits
would be sent to the applicants
through the mails. The original plan
of the traffic director was to stagger
the issuance of the permits over a
period of a year, issuing about one
twelfth of the total monthly.
The new scheme. Mr.. Eldridge be
lieves, will not only expedite the work
of reissuing more than 10000 per
mits, but will cause a minimum of
Inconvenience to motorists. 1t is eSti-
mated that under the new plan all
of the permits could be issued in
month.
Mr.. Eldridge will discuss the plan
with Maj. Hesse this week and make
arrangements fer using policemen to
distribute the permit applications
No further steps will be taken, how
ever until Congress passes the
amended traffic bill, which proposes
to have the permits renewed on a
three-year basis.

MONTICELLO BREAKFAST TO MARK
RETURN OF VALUABLE DOCUMENTS
Many Letters, Books and Other Historic Objects to
Be Given Back as First Step i'm Rehabiita-
ton of JeffersOn's Home.

1925, containing an account of Jeffer-
sons death, and a black bordered
editorial, received from Miss Margaret
Field of Rockville, Md, whose family
have owned and published the local
paper for many years.
Richard Thompson has turned over
to Mrs. Andrews a beautiful letter
written by Mr.. Jefferson from the
White House to his son-in-law
cello, bearing upon the care of peach
trees and entering into a minute cal
culation as to how many open fires
at Monticello could be provided for
by the natural pruning of the peach
orchards by wintry winds.
Another gift from Mrs. Philip Holt
Of Albemarle County, is collection
of handmade nails of the type used
by Jefferson in the building of Month
cello. 1t would have taken too long
to bring nails from England. so Mr..
Jefferson invented machine which
cut iron into strips and f1attened the
nail heads, thus establishing the first
nail factory In America-the little old
brick tower still standing at Month
cello.
These and other gifts for Monticello
may be seen this afternoon at Mrs.
Andrews studio at 1880 Sixteenth
street before their formal presentation
tomorrow, and it is hoped this gener-
GUS example in the matter of return
ing such gifts will bring back to
Monticello many more Of it's scattered
treasures.
Other gifts to be returned include:
A quaint letter from Jefferson to
Messrs. Winn, Rives, D., and 1.
Railey, Ormond, Branham and Mich.
olas, in which he declines with regret,
on account Of his age, an invitation
to attend a celebration of the Declar-
alton of Independence. also the gen
ealogy Of Thomas Jefferson, presented
by Miss Mary Hilliard Hinton OF
Raleigh, N. c., president OF the Ma
tional Genealogical Society, and also
a quaint little blue chair which came
from Monticello, and is now being re-
turned by Mrs. Payne, at present liv-
ing in this city.
