REGISTERS s CAR
 IN NAME 0F GIRL
Boy Fined S2O for hisrepresent-
 ing Facts to State

Thomas Bonaiuto, IS, of IS Sey- mour street, was fined s20 and costs on the charge of misrepresenting the facts surrounding the registration of an automobile, in police court to- day. He bought an old car for $5 and realizing that he would be un- able to register it unless he obtained the signature of an adult, he ap- preached Miss Anna Kloski of 73 Orange street. who is employed in a department of the Corbin Cabinet Lock factory where he also works.
 About o'clock last night Ser geants O'Mara and McAvay saw the car on Winter street, surrounded by a group of young people and they asked Bonaiuto for his license and certificate of registration. He admit ted that he owned the car but had 1t registered in Miss Kloski's name, so they interviewed her and learned that she had been led to believe that she was merely witnessing the youths signature.
 Miss Kloski testified that she had no financial interest in the car and had signed merely as an accom- mo- dation, believing Bonaito's story that he needed a witness but Bonaiuto, after pleading not guilty, claimed to have explained the situation to Miss Kloski before she signed. Although he claimed to have been born in April, 1912, his previous court rec ord showed that in August. 1929, he gave his age as Is, and when Judge Traceski asked him about it he had nothing to say except that his cor rect age is IS.

NO CASH ON HAND
 FOR SUBWAY WORK
North Street ConduitS Cannot Be
 Installed, Merian Says

The wishes of the common coun- cii and of the board of public works with reference to subways in North street can not be respected because there are no funds available for this kind of work, City Engineer P. A. Merriam said today.
 All available money was used in the recent extension projects started for the purpose of giving jobs to the unemployed. and until the legisla- ture authorizes further issues of bonds, no money can be had, the en- gineer explains.
 Councilman Samuel Sablotsky of the sixth ward will ask the common council tomorrow night to instruct the board of public works to install subways in North street in conjunc- ton with the reconstruction pro- gram on that highway.
 The councilman has made some inquiry into the plan of the public works department and despite the fact that the pavement is not per manent, he regards it good economy to construct the subways at this time. he explained today.
 Wincenty Dobrowolski, president of the Property Owners association, has approached Sablotsky with a suggestion that he seek an injunc- ton to restrain the department from rebuilding the highway if his plan for subways is turned down, his suggestion with the board with out going to the extreme of court action to enforce it, he has made it known.
