Raleigh, March 22-(AP)-North
Cardinals road policy soon will pur-
sue a new course.
The 1887 legislature revamped the
highway system and altered the motor
vehicle and carrier laws in accord
ance with the wishes of Governor
Hoey. The Federal government, now
ever had a word in the legislation re-
lative to carriers. The new law con-
forms to the Federal act.
In reorganizing the highway setup,
the General Assembly authorized the
governor to appoint 10 commissioners
and a chairman with the commission
ers receiving $40 a day and the chair
man not more than $500 annually Tor
q six-year term.
The commissioner would be free to
act in his discretion when the COM
mission is not sitting but the COM
mission would have the right to over
ride the chairman if necessary.
Hearings would be conducted
monthly in each district at desig-
mated place and appeal could be made
to the entire commission.
The legislature also enacted into
law the Allen measure providing that
where there are two roads of approx
mately the same construction and
distance between two points, the high
way commission may designate one
for truck and the other for light traf-
fic. 1t would be a misdemeanor to OPP
crate a truck exceeding the gross
weight allowed On designated light
traffic roads unless the point of des
tination were on the light traffic road
Under the motor vehicle act, lie
enses were fixed for automobiles al
IS cents a gross hundredweight with
a 81 minimum. Commercial haulers
were placed in the same category as
private haulers while contract haul
ers were placed in separate class. In
several instances, licenses, fees for
trucks were increased by hundred
weight.
The minimum now is So with 40
cent charge each hundredweight.
The commissioner Of revenue would
act as vehicle commissioner with pow
er to appoint agents, field deputies
and clerks.
The bill, which Representative
Johnston of Iredell, the introducer,
described as a compilation Of all the
states motor xehicle laws. sets a S5C
minimum fine and or 90-day imprison-
ment for first conviction of drunken
driving. A heavier fine and sentence
for second offense, while rigid penal
ties are fixed for hit-and-run driving
Night riders of bicycles must carry
lights and a tail light reflector must
lie carried on automobiles A senate
committee struck out a provision
whereby motorists would have to car
~ an extra bulb.
Under inclement weather condi-
lions, the department may bar We
hicles of certain weights from high
ways where their travel would be in
furious to the road.
License plates could be purchased
quarterly as now
Provisions were made to prohibit
the importing of out-of-state vehicles
with questionable title-a law spon-
sored by the State Automobile Deal
ers Association.

itor's Office flung his hat uncere-
moniously on Stuckey's desk and
sank heavily, without invitation,
into the only chair which offered
any degree of comfort. He glanced
around at Bells and jerked his head
family but authoritatively in the
direction of the door. The clerk
turned on his heel and vanished
into the outer Office.
Charles Stuckey looked supreme
ly uncomfortable, as he always did
in the presence of this paunchy,
overfed man with the fOrid coun-
tenance and the family hooking
expression in the dark-brown eyes,
which were a trif1e too small
and set a shade too closely to-
gether.
For some moments no word was
spoken: the two men sat regarding
each other. A man in the early
fifties, Colonel Alec Lutman had
once been a handsome and impos-
ing figure. Those who knew him
best and disliked him most said
that Lutman's name could not be
found in the Army List and that
the prefix Colonel" had, indeed,
no more justification, when applied
to Lutman, than the fact that
women succumb more readily to a
title, particularly a military title.
At last the solicitor, with an OBJ
vious effort as of a man shaking
himself free from some dominating
influence, broke the silence.
What have you come for, Lut-
MANI"
The smile on the others face
widened.
my dear Charlesw he protest
ed. Scarcely the way to greet an
old-er-friend! I do hope you
don't employ the same ELUSIVE
manner toward all your - err
clients"
The solicitor scowled.
I'm sorry" he said, "but I'm in
no mood this morning for badinage.
Did you want to see me about any
thing in particular? Because, if
not, I have several appointments. %
Colonel Lutman regarded him
with an air of appreciative benevo-
lence.
1.-THE one thing admire most
about you, Charles, is your stern
sense of duty. It is that which
makes rising young lawyers-er-
rise" he finished rather lamely.
Stuckey made an impatient ges-
ture and looked at his wrist watch.
II hope" went on his visitor,
that you have not, under pressure
of your professional duties, over
looked one very important appoint
Iment this morning"
Charles frowned.
~You mean 2"
Fl see you have. Even promis-
ing young solicitors -"
"Oh, for Heavens sake, Lutman,
come to the point"
The Colonel sighed and dropped
his bantering tone.
"All right, I WILL" he said. "Jim
Asson comes out of Dartmoor this
morning = and is by now" = he
glanced up at the clock on the
dusty mantelpiece-"well on his
way to London and to this Office. "
Stucley gave violent start.
"Jim? Out! But thought -
"Quite. You thought he wasn't
due for another six months. But
Jim has been a very blue-eyed boy
and has earned a special remission
for something or other. He should
be here in about an hour"
The solicitors features regis
tered his distaste.
"But what's he coming here for ?
I don't want to see him."
Perhaps not" The Coloners
manner reverted to the grandiose

DISTRICT WPA
BUSHES WAGES

Checks totaling approximately
S145,000 are being issued as pre-
Christmas wages to WPA and
NYA workers in the New Ulm
district area, according to an an
nouncement from the st. Paul Of
flee of Victor Christgau, state
WPA administrator.
This amount is somewhat in
excess of the average for a pay
roll period as a result of re-
scheduling of project operations
by the New Ulm office so that
security wage earners might re-
ceive as much as possible before
the holiday. This arrangement
resulted in all projects putting in
the maximum number of hours
for December prior to Christmas
week, in the entire southern part
of the state.
The estimated total earnings of
all workers in the state during
December is S2,150,000.
