carried with it a possible fine of
500 per day for each and every

tice seemed to oc general in that
section to date he would suspend

such violations would be dealt with
more severely in the future.

that date were merely guests" and

Judge Caseys warning also was
directed to real estate agents who
encourage prospective tenants to
rent houses in restricted areas for
the purpose of operating boarding
houses. Mrs Beuchart declared
that agents for the real estate firm
from which she rented her house
had told her she could take in
boarders, as others in the vicinity

Law to Punish
Reading Drivers
Being Sought

The corporation counsel's office
today is searching for a regulation
under which a motorist can be
brought into court for driving
under the influence of literature"
A case was reported to the Traf-
fic Advisory Council last night
where a man was arrested by q po-
liceman for reading a magazine held
on the steering wheel of his car
while in operation. When arrested
the defendant calmly told the Of
ficer that he merely wanted to finish
a story before he got home.
The assistant corporation counsel
in Police Court was of the opinion
that reckless driving charge would
not hold in court. He found that a
previous regulation requiring q
driver at all times to have traffic
under full attention had been elm
mated from the book of rules. And
no present regulation seemed to ap-
ply
After much passing of the buck,
the matter was referred to the
council.
They referred It to the corporation
counsel's office for immediate action.
