IMPORTANT PUBLIC INFORN1A-
TION FROM COMMISSIONER OF
MOTOR VEHICLES

Here is important information
for youths of IA and Is years of age
from w. Lee Elgin, the Commission
er of Motor Vehicles of Maryland.
To clarity in the minds of these
youngsters just why restricted driv-
ing permits will be issued, Commits
sioner Elgin said, II have been CIV
en- the authority by an act of legis-
lature as an emergency measures to
help farm operations, to grant spec
ial permits to youngsters IA and Is
years of age. These permits will only
be granted to operate motor vehic-
lie within the particular farm area
where the applicant may live or
work, and should it be necessary for
the motor vehicle or farm implement
which the youth is operating to be
moved from one farm to another,
which would mean crossing longest
ed areas, main highways, or through
cities or towns, it will be necessary
for licensed operator over 16 years
of age to operate this equipment
in place of the IA and Is year old
youth"
when this law was asked for by
the Farm Bureau Association, all
that was requested was that IA and
Is year old drivers would be issued
a permit to operate farm equipment
In connection with farm work within
the farm area itself. Furthermore,
it was plainly understood with the
Bureau that the law gave the Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles the pow
er to designate the farm roads and
lanes where holders of these permits
can drive and at no time will they be
permitted to drive beyond the area
specified on their permits" Commits
sioner Elgin stated that he wanted
it thoroughly understood that at no
time should the IA and Is year old
youths drive other than in the area
stipulated. Deviation from this will
mean an immediate revocation of the
permit of the person to whom 1t was
issued. He further stated that he
wanted to impress strongly the i'm
portance of this law being carried out
to the letter as safety factor along
Maryland highways. 1t must be re-
membered that any negiigece on the
part of the IA and Is year old driver
of a motor vehicle. would mean that
the endorser of the youths applica-
ton would be jointly and severely
liable, as well as the minor, for any
damages caused by their negligence.
