House but the report of the com-
mittee. though attacked, was ac-
cepted. The net result is that there

There were also two separate and
distinct taxation measures each of
which applied to a. special form of
llirltor \vliiclr transportation. One
was a tilt drafted and introduced
in an attempt to tax motor vehicles
which use ”it: highways of the state
to a marked degree at a rate which
Would compensate for damage done

a "ton-mile bill.” and its operation
might have resulted in the collec-
tion of :1 tax from each commercial
vehicle of three tone or over for
each mile traveled. The bill was
not brought out of committee. al-
though several hearings on it. were
given.

service motor vehicles. This bill
imposing a tax on gross earnings
was introduced and passed. This

has Pump locations.
The department presented and
there were two tows specifically re-
intuit,r to gas pump locations. They
are amendments to section 5 oi’
Chapter 334 of the Public Acts of
1921 and to the fuel tax law. and
are in effect. as follows:
The commissioner of motor ve~
hicles will no longer be required to
consider the location of gas stations
in cities and towns of over 10.000
lnhil.itants until after the applicant
for a station has procured from the
mayor of a city or from the select-
nien of a town an approval certifi-
cate of the site and location of the
proposed station.
The reason for this change lies in
the fact that in densely popillated
locations there are other features
than safety which ought to be con.
sidciod before a gas pump is estab-
lished. It is not within the jurisdic-
tloii of the state to determine pure-
ly local questions such as whether
or not a proposed location will re-
(lure the value of real estate or be
detrimental to residential develop-
ment, or affect existing service dis-
advantageously. Such matters ought
to be determined in accordance with
the facts by the local authorities
before the location is considered by
the slate at all. This law does not
apply to any proposed location upon,
it. state highway. whether that. high-
way is within the limits of a city or
town or not.
A change in the fuel tax law
makes the subject of exemption
much simpler of administration.
After the first of July exemptions
combo made only to those persons
who tirst obtain a. certificate of ex-
emption from the department of
motor vehicles.
A new license fee has been made
on a. pump basis. This fee went in-
to (tract on the passage of the act
and is now a law. It provides for
a license for the operation of a
pumping with not more than one
pump for five dollars and for each
additional pump two dollars.
There is also in the same act a.
provision for examination fee by
which the department examines a
location on application as to its
safety requirements and receives for
that initial examination the sum of
twenty-five dollars. and for the ex-
amination of additional pumps ap-
plied for in old locations five doll-
ars each.
General Provisions
The definition of "pnuator" in the
o “‘ L
1N:l_(_l_ EFFECT ON JULY 1
.
law has been enlarged to include
and sever the person who steers or
directs the course of a motor ve-
hicle which is being towed. This
change was made necessary because
of the inability to fix responsibility
unless such a. person should be de-
termined definitely to be an opera-
tor withln the purview of the sta-
tute.
Every operator shall, within for~
tyoetght hours of any change of ad-
dress. nolify the commissioner of
such change. giving both his old ad-
dress and his new one.
Certified copies of any document
or record of the department are
made evidence. It. has been made
necessary by the perfectly proper
practice of some courts in the past
to require some employee of the
department to take the record of
the department and be in readiness
to swear to it. This slight amend-
ment makes the certified copy itself
evidence and will save the state
considerable money in time of env-
ployees.
The commissioner is allowed to
grant a permit for the installation
of any invention for the purposes
of feet.
He also receives the right through
hitnself. his deputies or officers of
the State Police. to examine any
motor vehicle for its number. equip-
ment and identification. The pur-
posu of this is to provide a process
by which stolen motor vehicles can
be detected.
Officers in uniform are authorized
to inquire as to the license and re-
gistration qualifications of any per-
son operating or in charge of a mo-
tor vehicle. lt should be especially
noticed that this is an alteration of
a former law which was. in effect.
that no person could be so inquired
of except in event of an accident.
Under the amendment any officer in
uniform may at any time. in his dis-
cretion. stop and question any per~
son operating a motor vehicle and
the no on so stopped is required to
supply he desired lnfounstlon.
Financial luvsponsibility
An act was passed which author-
izes the commissioner to require. in
certain cases. satisfactory evidence
of financial responsibility as a pre-
requisite to registration. This act
will go into effect January 1. 1926.
