Nebraska State Safety Patrol

Safer driving habits on the
part Of Nebraska drivers can
pay off as is evidenced by the
fact that insurance rates on
private passenger cars were
reduced by many companies
March 22nd, the Nebraska St
ate Safety Council advised this
paper today
Dwight Havens, President
of the Council, announced he
had learned that the National
Bureau of Casualty Compan-
les had reduced the insurance
rates applicable to private pas
senger cars on the average of
o.l per cent for bodily injury
and Az per cent for property
liability insurance. So far,
Nebraska is the only state re-
ceiving such a reduction. This
will mean a saving Of approx
mately S68O,OOO to Nebraska
policyho1ders.
"Our continued efforts to Be.
safer drivers can pay off to
an even greater extent in the
future" Havens said. IF Neb,-
raska attains its goal Of saving
100 lives in AS with resultant
decrease in accidents, our in
surance rates could be reduc-
ed even further, and, let us
not overlook the resultant saw
ing in human suffering which
accompanies every accident"
Havens concluded.

We Did Him Wrong :

THE SENTINEL last week in
advertently omitted the name of
James H. Pugh from a story re-
garding the decision Of the
Judges of the Circuit Court that
the county taxicab ordinance
conflicts with the provisions of
the Maryland Motor Vehicles
Act.
We regret the omission for
Mr.. Pugh had worked particu-
larly hard on the case. He said.
however, that he had not exact
ly "staked his legal reputation"
upon it as was stated in a letter
written to county papers by a
Takoma Park resident. Mr..
Pugh was so certain from the
beginning that the ordinance
could not be enforced that he
was naturally pleased at the de-
cision.
The judges, in their ruling,
said the Motor Vehicles Act
prohibits any county or munich
pality from enacting local legis-
lation setting up licensing re-
quirements for motor vehicles.
The decision was rendered in
a suit brought by Attorneys
Pugh, James Miller and Lee
Miller acting for Robert II.

Branch Cab Company, against
the county commissioners and
