Wm ARREST FOR LIGENSE EVADERS ORDER ISSUED BY SECRETARY OF STATE EMMERSON Don't forget to call on Wm. G. Schreiner, phone 98-R, when you get that new car, fpr insurance in the best of companies. McHenry, 111. An order for the arrest after April 10 of license evaders was issued today by Louis Emmerson, Secretary of State, to the investigators working under his direction. The 1924 automobile license expired on December 31, 1924, and every driver who operates his car under that license is violating the law. A total of 1,127,641 licenses were issued last year, and so far this year only 914,606 applications for license have been made. This means that more than 200,000 automobile owners over the state are evading the law. For a number of weeks automobile drivers have been warned to secure a new license, but the black and orange plate of last year is still very frequently seen in use. The order for arrest came today following the report of many violators who apparently ignore the law. "If the automobile fees were pr# rated monthly or quarterly," Mr. Emmerson stated today, "there might be some excuse for automobile owners waiting three or four months to secure their license. But there are only two divisions--annual and semi-annual --so failure to secure the 1925 licensc at this late date means either carelessness or utter disregard for the law." , „ " . There has been a marked decrease in th# number of accidents caused from improper lighting since the investigators under Mr. Emmerson's direction have been aiding local authorities in enforcing this provision of the law, nevertheless there are yet many drivers who are cajreless about the observ - ance of several provisions especially designed Jnj ~safety. "Not only will arrests be made for violations of the license provision,' Mr. Emmerson continued, "but the in vestigators will also aid in enforcing the proper lighting of automobiles strict observance of the right-of-way and care in approaching railroad grade crossings. Statistics shew that the greater part of fatal automobile accidents are due to disregard of the law by automobile drivers. ' RIDGEFIELD W. H, Levey motored to Kilgin 'Saturday.
