| In the Motor World CCORDING to officials of the Trafic Bureau, one of \ the most important duties assigned to them is the weeding out of the city’'s unde- sirable drivers. This is done by the revocation and cancellation of operators’ permits. Statistics released by the bu- reau today show that 941 permits were suspended last year, o which number 481 were restored. | Restoration is made only on re- -examination, letters of reference the approval of the director stant director of traffic. Permits were suspended for the Yoilowing reasons: Four hundred and thirty six, driving while in- toxieated: 163, leaving after col- i 126, reckless driving; 84, bad record: 60, speed: 42, renewal ed on account of bad record: '8, loaning permit: 11, obtaining permit by fraud: 5, ntally in- ctompetent; 3, epileptics; 2, ating commercial vehicle with minor's permit; 1, teaching a per; son to drive in congested district: 1. operating on learner’s permit; 1, allowing intoxicated person to operate his car, and 1, minor whose father withdrew his con- sent. : Offenses in Maryland. The above number of permits .revoked and canceled includes 4% permits of District operators vhose permits were canceled or suspended on account of serious offenses committed in the State of Maryland, while 3 District opera- *tors’ permits were taken up for .offens . State and 1 for offense committed *- in New Jersey. : The privilege of non-residents to drive a car in the District for offenses committed in the District were canceled as follows: Mart land. 21 vania, 3; New York, 2; New Jer- . 1. and Massachusetts, 1 The latter class of cancellation is for a definite period., and the authorities of the non-resident’s home State are notified, which re- suits in the cancellation of the permit by the home State. There are issued each day an average ol 146 new permits, including learn- | ers’ permits, and an average of 43 applicants each day are refused permits on the grounds that they cannot pass a satisfactory exam- ination on the regulations, or are unable to drive safely. or that they have some physical defect. ° The average suspension of & *permit is for 30 days, but in the BY G.

All financial operations, as well as the administration of the bridge, should be under the cons | trol of the State. “There were 233 toll bridges in operation in the United States at the beginning of 1928, accordin to a recent report of the Unite States Bureau of Public Roads. | Of these only 42 are owned by the | States or other {)olineal divisions, | and the remaining 191 were pri- vately owned.

Unless we are careful the national highway system, which has been the proud boast of the American Nation, may soon be nothing but | a series of tollgates.” Mr. Reeves' stand as well as that of others in opposing tolls, is well taken. It is to be hoped that concerted action along this| line will bring the desired result. | ! Sign Believers. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MARCH 18, 1028 -PART 4.

In the Victorian era when | “setting up a carriage” was considered | the smart thing to do, not only coach- | work but livery of coachman and foot- | man had either to harmonize or be of | smartly contrasting shades. Frequently | the only relief to a rather somber ex- | terior was the yellow and black wasp vest of the diminutive “tiger” or the orange and red piping of livery.

In the introduction of the measure, Senator Watson made it clear that this sum is in addition to the regular Fed- eral-ald leroleNon of $75,000,000 each year for 1929 and 1930, declaring that both sums are needed to speed up | the highway cosstruction program in| the United States to keep abreast of the increased motor trafic.

A measure which may save the mo- | torists of the country more than the | Federal Government's annual expendi- ture o% 475,000,000 for Federal highway aid has just been favorably reported to | the House by the House judiciary com- mittee, and favorable action is expected by that budy as soon as the rules com- mittee authorizes its consideration on | the floor. ‘The measure, more or less obscure, is known as the Newton bill (H.

Its far-reaching effect is called to the | attention of the 23,000,000 motorists of the country by the American Motorists® Association, which, with other national organizations, is sponsoring the meas- ure. The association points out that on a basis of 900.000.000 pounds of crude rubber purchased each year by industry. even a 1-cent raise in price costs the manufacturers $9.000,000, which, of course, the ulti- GAIN OVER FOREIGN Imports Show Americans Need Not | Look Abroad for Finer Models, | Says Coolican. ‘, A tribute to the striking individuality | of the American custom-built automo- | bile is seen by Oscar Coolican, dirtctor | of the W.

The home market always has been recognized to have an ad in this respect, Mr. Coolican belle mate eonsumer must pay. “The results of the British and Dutch control of rubber was brought home to the rubber users of this country in 1925 when the price of crude rubber rose from 36 cents, regarded as a fair price, to $1.20 per pound, or an increase of 84 cents above a fair price.” according to Thomas J. Keefe, general manager of the A. M. A. “In that year the mo- torists, on a basis of $1.20 for crude rubber, would have had to pay $765.- 000 more than they should have for their tiré bilk or a sum 10 times the amount expended by the Federal Gov- ernment in Federal highway aid “This is more clearly visualized when have cost the motorists of Washington during 1925. There was during that year a total of 93,612 vehicles regis- tered in the District and the average excess tire cost per motorist would have been $26, if the high price had been maintained, or an aggregate excess cost of tires to. Washington motorists of $2433900. The passage of _the Newton amendment to the Webb-Pom- erene oill will check a repetition of ex- | cessive prices.” Members of the association are being urked to support the measure, which will be voted upon in the House within the next two or three weeks.

Shortly after the beginning of the NEW VIRGINIA FEE MEASURE LAUDED Change in Justices’ Fines in Auto Cases Held Aid to Motorists. Passage by the General Assembly nf | virginia of a bill which modifies the system of fee splitting for justices of the peace and othér law enforcemsnt officers was hailed by the District division of the American Automobile Association as a distinct victory for motorists of Washington and the Dis- trict division of the American Automn- bile Association. Formerly Virginia sta.utes provided that the fustice of the peace recelved his full fee in cases of conviction but received only half that amount if ¢ defendant was acquitted. Justice would recelve regardl The District division of the N2 motoring body feels that this change in the law removes the greatest objec- tion to the fee system in that it does not make it more profitable to convict | than to acquit. State Pays Fee. Under terms of the bill, introduced in the Assembly by Delegate Pags of Norfolk, the State pays the fee to ithe justice and other officers entitled to it in cases of acquittal or where the defendant is unable to pay the costs if convicted. The bill goes to Gov Harry F. Byrd on Monday for his sig- nature, and as the governor i8 known |to favor the change it is virtually assured that it will become a law. | “We feel that the change in the | Virginia law made by the Assembiy i8 a | distinct step forwa and a notable victory for the District division of organized motordom.” declared T.
