POLICE MAY CHECK
ON AUTO PERMITS
EIdridge Believes Hundreds
of Motorists Are Using
OutIaWed Licenses.

The Police Department was request
ed by Traffic Director NJ. o. Eldridge
yesterday to make more careful
check on motorists arrested for traffic
offenses to determine whether their
permits come within the group out
lawed February / by decree of the
Commissioners.
Mr. Eldridge told Maj. Edwin B.
Hesse. superintendent of police. that
he believed there are hundreds of mo.
florists driving in Washington with
permits numbered from ] to $4,000.
These permits should have been re-
newed before February 1.
While a special drive to round up
drivers using these outlawed permits
is not necessary at this time, Mr.. Ed
ridge said that the police should ex-
anime the permits of motorists
stopped for various attractions of the
traffic code, and ascertain if they
have legal permits. Those still using
the old permits. he explained. should
be charged with driving without a
permit.
eff this plan does not succeed in
forcing drivers to apply for new per-
mits," Mr.. Eldridge said, "a more
drastic procedure will have to be
adopted. 1t might be necessary to
throw out dragnet and stop all mo-
florists, such as is done annually in
Rhode Island. and Massachusetts,
where new permits are required each
year. | hope this can be avoided. l
like to be as lenient and courteous
as possible with the drivers, but l will
not tolerate the continued disregard
for my pleas to them to renew their
permits"
