Several statute al- terations are of a minor nature, but the majority are of major import- ance and immediate interest to| many persons. | The new laws or changes, accord- | ing to a digest prepared by the mo- | tor vehicle department, range from | methods of license application, af- | focting individuals .to measures of | regulation demanding state-wide ad- ministration. | A state traffic control system, | which aims at uniform regulation | for every town, is among the major | cnactments. Automobile junk yards | are now | under state and town regu- | lations. Taxicabs are included among | the vehicles required to be licenscd | as public service vehicles by the public utiiities commission. A so- | called insurance merit rating law | become cffective which calls for | state classification of operators whose driving records make then subject to the financial responsibility law, | Owner Must Sign Applic | It will no longer be nmecessary to | make an application for registration | “under oath,” with the elimination | of the oath, however, the state will vequire that the owner of the ve- licle, personally, sign the applica tion. No agent's signature will b2} recognized by the department. The ! new law further provides a penalty of $50 for any person who shall register any motor vehicle of which | he is not the owner. In addition to the oli law cerned with fa:se statements on ap plication, it is now an off sub ject o ' fine of 339 for any attempt to obtain stratiop for another | spresentution or impersona- Any certificate cbtained this manner witl be void Reports on Acvidents No report to the department will | nenceforth on motor dents resulting in prop- | erty damage of less than $25.

Vehicle owners, whose number plates have been lost or mutilated, | will now have 48 instead of 24 hours | in which to notify the commissioner and apply for new plates. This law | change also allows the commissioner to issue a permit to operate with a temporary plate until new numbe plates are supplied. Upon receipt of (he new plares and certificate the owner must surrender the old plate if a to th nt I ll Iy, ted at time % departm ' mutil the plats ere returned of application for new stration A clarifyin fnitely lause in the statutes for a person to " permit the oper- ation of any otor vehicle person uuder sixteen years of age.” As interpreted by the department this law prohibits anyone under six teen from operating even though ac- companied by an older person or “under instruction.” An additional fee of $3 is now provided for the registration of each motoreycle with a side car or hox attached when used as a commerciu! motor vehicle. Passenger Motor Vehicles Special registrations are necessary for motor vehicles which are not, in the strict application of the defini- tion, public service motor vehicles hut are used m transporting passer- gers. Such vehicles defined in tlie statutes as “passenger motor ve- hicle, or commercial 1motor vehicle used in part as a passenger vehicle, With a scatng capacity greater than seven and not used as a public sery ice motor vehicle,” An owner of a commercial motor vehicle is now alleged to substitute a motor, while repairs are made, provided the motor stituted is registered with the de- | partment. This privilege was e tended previously only to owners of | heavy motor bus No other sub. stantial change in the appearance or mechanical equipment of any v hicle is allowed unless the intend “hange is stated in for registration. The privilege of carrying green lights on the front of motor buses has heen extended to interstate pub lie vehicles, Commercial motor vehicle owr Will no longer be required to ¢ mate the maximum speed of thei vehicles, an item of information Which formerly was required on the nlate which weight and This a tiakes it an offense y any | are being so sub- | ] the application (i described the capacity othe the plate neay driver's seat Judgments Must Be Paid The commissioner of motor licles is now empowered to suspend features displayed of ear the | commissioner | tration | special | ers of motor vehicle: | missioner in Motor Laws registration upon non-payment of judgments in court civil suits aris- ing from negligence actions.
