Governor Approves Bill 
For Automobile Regulation. 
Governor Douglas has affixed his 
signature to the second of the bills 
for the regulation of motor vehicles 
proposed by the Highway Commis- 
sion. The measure which met with 
the approval of his excellency was 
the so-called speed bill—the other, 
the registration bill, having been 
approved previously. 
The speed bill will go into effect 
on Saturday, June 3. It is a distinct 
victory for the automobilists, for it 
does away with all the local town 
and city regulations, except those 
made by park commissioners, now 
in effect, thus putting a stop to four- 
mile-an-hour laws, and other low: 
speed regulations designed to keep 
the automobiles out .of certain 
places. 
_.The bill, however,. permits the 
towns and cities greater. liberty 
than before in drafting new sets of 
speed regulations, in that it gives 
them the right to make such regula- 
tions as they see fit. Thus they may 
permit a road race or exclude the 
automobiles altogether, or they may 
permit high speed on some country 
roads and enforce a low speed on 
ed streets. There is a provision 
for appeal to the Highway Com- 
mission from any special regula- 
tions made by cities and towns. 
The amendments to the registra- 
tion law will go into effect on May 
20. Probably the most interesting 
sections of this law, so far as auto- 
mobilists are concerned, relate to 
the punishments for infraction of 
the law. Under the present law the 
maximum fines are $25, while under 
the new law the fines are of three 
grades, $25 for a first, $50 for a sec- 
ond and $100 for a third offence. 
Under the existing law the im- 
position of a fine on an automobilist 
found guilty of violating the law is 
mandatory, but by the new law the 
word “shall” has been replaced by 
“may.” The new law also strength- 
ens the provisions by which the 
Commission can “kill” a car as well 
as an operator’s license. 
Automobiles from outside the 
state are permitted to be operated 
for fifteen days in Massachusetts

without a Massachusetts registra 
tion, but they must carry the regis 
tration credentials and the number 
issued by the state within which the 
owner lives and no other. 
As a whole, the automobilists 
are very well satisfied with the new 
law and feel that they have gained 
more than they have lost. They be- 
lieve that with punishment optiona! 
there will be many less fines than 
under the existing law, and that the 
new speed law will tend toward 
more liberal speed regulations.
