 Financially Responsible


 When an automobile is registered in the name of a boys father, ana the father gives his son permission to drive machine, no financial re. sponsibility need be shown by the minor son, was a decision handed down this morning in police court by Judge Stanley J. Traceski in the case of Bertil Anderson, 16, 124 Jubilee street, arrested last night by Officer Harper charged with having no financial responsibility.
 Officer Harper said that the boy had been warned four months ago to provide financial responsibility but the warning was ignored. The son bought the car, the officer said, but the machine is registered in the name of Werner Anderson, the father.
 "'When the car is in the fathers name, the father assumes all fnan- cial responsibility for it." was the decision of Judge Traceski. "The father can also give the son per mission to drive the car withou. providing the son with financial re- sponsibility, if the boy is over 1G years of age If the boy is involved iu an accident, the father is re sponsible for the damage and may be sued.
 Because he was in a hurry to get to New Haven, Anthony Ference, 20. 223 Glen street, clicked off 3S miles an hour on Broad street yes terday morning riding a borrowed motorcycle. He was arrested for speeding.
 Speeding Cyclist Fined
 In court today the officer said that the man on the motorcycle, whom he first. noticed at the corner of High and Broad streets going west, was speeding. He further testified that at the Grove street intersection the man was travelling at a 35-mie an hour speed, ani when he approached the hill lead ing to the Burritt street crossing this speed was increased to SS miles an hour. When he was halted by the officer he had no registration card on the machine, although lie did have d license On the Broad street hill he also narrowly missed running down two children, the of ficer charged.
 You were going faster than you should on Broad street which is one of the centers of New Britain's child population. In the Broad street section there are more chil- dren to the block than in any other section of the city. Could you have stopped short enough to have avoided an accident?" asked the court.
 Ference thought that he could. l but when Officer Doty was asked about it he declared that it would be extremely unlikely as the officer could not have stopped his own machine in time to avoid an acci- dent. Ference declared that he was going only 25 miles an hour, al- though Officer Doty testified that his speedometer showed 35 miles an hour.
