Liability Tases. Several States followed the lead of Rhode Island in requiring policies of insurance against liability to contain a clause making the carrier liable to the injured person. New York extend- ed this provision by requiring that policies contain a provision insuring against injury by the car, when driven by any person with the expressed or implied permission of the owner, a complement to a previous act making the owner liable for such injuries. The requiring of bonds for drivers of automobiles carrying passengers for hire is based, the committee found on the financial responsibility and greater danger of accidents from such automobliles. Thus it becomes a ques- tion whether the requirement of a motor vehicle owner. A New York bill was offered providing for a lower bond for a private owner than for a jitney driver. Teaching Constitution. Georgia followed New York and South Carolina by requiring teaching of the Constitution in the schools. Louislana has passed an act to limit the spacing of oil wells and other- wise regulating oil production. There has been more regulation of ofl wells in_other States. Georgia repealed its act prohibiting tips. 16TH STREET SIGNALS WILL GO ON CORNERS Commissioners Favor Eldridge Plan for Four Posts Instead of Single Station. ‘While the Commissloners in award- ing a contract yesterday for the pur- chase of automatic traffic signal lights did not take up details of their installation, it was indicated yesterday they would approve Director Eld- ridge’s recommendation that they be placed on Sixteenth street.
