5000 AUTOS LACK
TITLES IN RUSH
Of REGISTRATION
Van Duzer Surprised by
$4,000 Applications Filed
Since July |.
10000 OWNERS MUST
GET TAGS BY FIRST
$4,000 Trucks, but Only Eight
Electric Cars Among Record
Applications.

Six thousand motor vehicles remain
to be titled before the Traffic Depart
ment completes the gigantic task i'm
posed on it by Congress of titling and
registering all of the cars in the Dis
trlct, according to a tabulation today
by Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer.
Thus far, certificates of title have
oeen issued for 10000 vehicles, $4,000
OF which are trucks. Piled up in the
Iratf1C Department are 6,203 applica-
lions for title which Mr.. Van Duzer
hopes to clear away before the close of
next week so that car owners will have
Ssutficient time in which to procure 1882
tage before February /, the date follow
ing expiration of 1881 tags.
Registration Is Largest.
The title applications filed since last
July l, showing there are more than
l24, 900 motor vehicles in the District,
completely surprised Mr.. Van Duzer
and other traffic authorities, and indi-
Gates the largest registration in the
history Of the District. Based on the
registration in previous years, and the
normal annual increase, the traffic di-
tSSOoA CoIAildlcu Tile tOLdI registration
Tor 1882 would not exceed 10000.
Already Mr.. Van DuZer's estimate has
been exceeded by more than 1000, and
indications are that number of other
car owners have not filed applications
for title. Belief is now expressed that
the total registration will range be-
tween $4,000 and 10000.
Another interesting sidelight on the
registration cited by Mr.. Van Duzer
Is that of the 10000 title certificates
issued, only eight were for electric pro-
PEELED vehicles
Although the titling of cars has pro-
crossed to the satisfaction of Mr.. Van
Duzer, he is disappointed over the de-
lay of many drivers in procuring 1889
tags. OF the 10000 car owners to
whom certificates of title have been
issued, $4,000 have 1892 tags, showing
that 10000 have put off making appli-
cation for the plates.
Expiration This Month.
The date fixed for the expiration of
the 1881 tags-midnight, January 81
will not be extended, Mr.. Van Duzer said,
and unless these 10000 car owners pro-
cure 1882 tags within the next 10 days
rush at the tag distribution bureau
will be inevitable.
The tag bureau is located in the Ford
Building at John Marshall place and
Pennsylvania avenue and the tags can
be procured now without delay. If
rush develops at the last minute, how
ever, Mr.. Van Duzer predicted, appli-
cants for tags may be required to stand
in line for several hours.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-08-29

Mayor George Quigley's search for the gubernatorial nomination on the republi- can ticket may be futile one if efforts of prominent g.o.p. leaders to draft former governor Trumbull prevail. Just now the Quigley cause looks rather hopeless. Per haps the New Britain mayor can prevail upon the coming state convention to change its views with regard to the November cleo ton, but he certainly will have to exert every effort to win enough delegates to his way of thinking. It isn't that the repub- lican party hasn't confidence in Quigley but it believes that ex-GoVernor Trumbul is unbeatable. It completely overooks the fact that he has had three full terms, lack ing one day. and that the voters, republican as well as democratic. do like to see a new man in office occasionally. And Governor Cross isn't 10 be ignored in such easy fash

Even if his opponent IS Mir Trumbull we'll wager that the Cross ticket IS success full Of course. desperate efforts must be escorted to this year and if the drafting of Trumbul is one of these then some few republicans will be satisfied.

Banking Changes Needed

It is not enough to blame the depression for the great number of bank failures in the United States, and to wait for the depres- sion to end as the only remedy for bank ing troubles. Other lands, notably England and Canada, have suffered more than we have from economic depression without suf-' fering at the same time from bank failures.
 There were 7l4 bank failures in the 10 years preceding the World War, 456 during the war. a7d l0,093 during the years since then. More than 800 banks failed during the first six months of l932. of which 2O4 were members of the Federal Reserve Sys- tenn and GOA non members
 It seems obvious that our banking laws or methods are somehow inadequate. Sure ly banking authorities themselves should be able to point out some of the flaws and make suggestions for remedies Bankers and w-makers. honestly working together on the problem. ought to devise ways to regulate the banking business on sound and rational basis.

Tax Bills

What is there about tax collection offices which makes it impossible for them to send out clear correct. understandable, itemized bills? It is safe to say that most of the people in this fair land who own any real estate now owe some back taxes. Why are they not allowed to pay these in sections, as they can? And what is there to prevent them from receiving clear statements and re- ceipts such as any business house sends out!
 One county tax office whose teachers and other county officers are waiting for their pay announced that 1t would take instalments on taxes. A woman who had an overdue bill for S200.7l sent in $l007l on account A couple of months later she dug up another $l00 and sent it in to com pIete this payment. Her check was returned (while some teacher and fremen went fur ther into debt) with the word that she would have to pay the whole new tax first. amounting 10 Si85.43. and that after that she could pay up the back taxes twenty per cent at time. She asks. Docs this make sense'" And echo answers NO. Madame it does not" But echo has not ihe last word.

Good Old 1. R. T. Passes

When the l. R. T. company of New York passed into the hands of receiver last week there must have been sigh of relief from many quarters. For years the financial ills of the concern have been eaus- ing owners. stockholders and patrons un- told worries The company has been much in the public eye. It no doubt prof ited thereby. Probably it will continue to do so. although faced now with the task of extricating itself from receivership and being placed on paying basis. The debacle comes at moment when the political fu- ture of Mayor James J. Walker is hanging in the balance.
 Why connect Mayor Walker with the IR.T.3 For no reason other than he was supposed to have solved the difficulties of the traction concern some six years ago when the entire city was plunged into an acrimonious debate over its future exist ence. Then even as now. the seven-eent fare was a moot question. Now that the company has failed to pay it's way and may see $54.000.000 mortgage foreclosed we don't doubt but what the spectre of a seven-cent fare will again rise and hang foreboding over the metropolis.
 It does seem as if this crash might have been avoided by little wiser planning some years ago. It does not necessarily imply lack of ability upon the part of the Walker administration, but it certainly does not rebound to it's credit Had some wiser policy been advocated in place of thai which is now shpwreeked. perhaps the way back to normaley would have been smooth CT. As it is now the I. R. T.'s resuscitation must be long drawn out affair The transit problem in New York transcends al- most all others. It's speedy solution will bring fame to some individual or ndivid uals.

Costly Jail Meals

A county budger commissioner in Ohio has been trying to find out how much var ious public expenses ought to be- He finds that it costs B cents a day to feed jail prisoner in his county and between and II cents to feed one in another county. It seems obvious that even though the lowest figure may be too low. the highest figure is certainly too high. The difference in cost. the commissioner finds. is chiefly diff ference in purchasing methods Careful, economical buying may furnish just as wholesome food for low cost as careless and extravagant buying furnishes at high cost.
 These are days when every item of pub lie expense must stand the cold and critical scrutiny of aroused taxpayers and must be cut down wherever it is reasonably possible. Prisoners eating at public cost should be given food that is appetizing as well as nourishing In meeting that standard, how ever, the job should be done both efficiently and economically.

Less Business For Crooks

A federal district attorney reports that in his large and popuous district he has not had single mail fraud case to, prosecute in three months. The fellows who usually make living out of honest citizens by such frauds. he says, seem to be going out of business Not that they have necessarily reformed. They simply can't get the bus- ness. People won't fall for their games now. Even if they have the inclination. they haven't the money. The agents are working, but they don't get any complaints "
 So here sis another wholesome by-product of hard times. There will be a lot of crook edness crime and vice starved out by the time prosperity returns. And such starvation will be one of the causes of the new pros- perity. It is something like an unusually cold winter killing the insects and bringing big crops the next season.
