AUTO LAW HAS MANY CHANGES. 
By the New Regulations the Freak Horns are Prohibited. 
Against 
The owners of automobiles in this 
state are interested in the new state 
laws and amendments to the same 
As a result of the changes in the 
law, chauffeurs will not hereafter be 
eompelled to wear the badges indica- 
tive of their ealling that the legisla- 
ture of a year ago demanded so de- 
eisively as to call for a fine if the 
auto driver appeared on the road 
without one. Another change that 
was strongly demanded by automo- 
bilists is that by which it will no 
longer be necessary to blow a horn 
at every intersecting way. 
So far as the eities and all thickly 
settled communities throughout the 
state are concerned, the law will re- 
main practically as it was enacted 
by the legislature of 1909. In those 
places great care will be necessary, 
and the driver of a ear will be obliged 
to signal with his horn, ex xactly as 
during the last year. 
The autoists, however, did not 
complain of blowing a horn in those 
places, but they did object strenu- 
ously to being compelled to do so at 
the openings to country lanes. Their 
objections were doubly energetic be-

Traps. 
cause of the fact that some enter- 
prising police departments had es- 
tablished traps at the lanes and 
made extensive winnings at the ex- 
pense of the autoists. One of these 
that has attained statewide fame is 
in Hingham, and, at the hearings, it 
was stated that very few chauffeurs 
or autoists who traversed the South 
shore escaped enmeshment in the 
net spread by the town authorities. 
A third feature of the amended 
law is the adoption of a plan of re- 
eiprocity by which automobilists 
from other states may drive their 
ears in Massachusetts for a period of 
10 days, providing their states ae- 
eord the same privilege to Massa- 
chusetts owners. 
It is a departure in legislation for 
Massachusetts and is in the result of 
work done by Representative Wil- 
letts of Fall River, house chairman 
of the committee on roads and 
bridges, from which the bill came 
last year and from which the signed 
amendments emanated. Despite the 
faet that the plan is entirely new it 
has met the commendation of motor-

car owners many favors over the va- 
rious state borders. 
The new law also prohibits the 
freak horns in cities and towns, and 
hereafter when the residents of ur- 
ban communities hear a whistle like 
a blast from an ocean liner’s siren 
they may have the satisfaction of 
knowing that the person behind the 
bulb is lable to arrest and penaliz- 
ing if any one desires to complain. 
There is, in addition to the changes 
in the law signed by the governor, 
another change of some moment, al- 
though it was contained in another 
bill and was signed several weeks 
ago. Under it, 20 per cent. of the 
registration fees and fines received 
from automobiles is to go to the re- 
pair and up-keep of country roads in 
the small towns. That was a boon 
secured by Representative Haigis of 
Montague, who secured the consent 
of the state highway commission to 
such disposition of the funds.
