ATTORNEY GENERAL GIVES OPINION ON - OLD CORONER'S LAW Illinois' century-old coroner's law should not deter Illinois state highway police from summoning ambulance service to transport the dead or injured for medical attendance or examination, Attorney General Latham Castle has held in an official opinion. " The state police. Castle's opinion further held, need not concern themselves with any disagreement which might arise between local undertakers or their agents and the coioner and his deputies. . "If the Coroner's Aiet were followed literally," Attorney General Castle's opinion asserted, "the State Highway Police would be required to permit a body or bodies to remain as they find them at the scene of an accident, which, of course, would be preposterious if not inhuman." Attorney General Castle's opinion answered a query from Phil M. Brown, superintendent of the state highway police, as to duties of the state police regarding delivery of a body or bodies to a funeral director or coroner. The "state highway police, the opinion pointed out, are constantly called upon to assist local officers and others at the scene of accidents occuring on state highways. Tiek/eri By George RETURN BID FOR CONTRACT TO PRINT '54 VEHICLE BOOKS Secretary of State Charles F. C a r p e n t i e r a n n o u n c e d t o d a y (Oct. 7) that he had returned unopened the only bid submitted for the . contract to print the 1954 motor vehicle registration books.- The envelope In which the bid was received bore the return Iddress of the Lincoln Printing Co., Chicago, publishers of the books for the past "»everal years. * The motor vehicle registration books are printed for the use of law enforcement agencies 'throughout the state in checking license plate numbers to ascertain the owner of a vehicle. Cost of publication amounts to approximately $300,000„ a year. •Secretary Carpentier said that Ma action In returning the fifef amount was based upon the dit- f cretionary authority afforded the Secretary of State to reject any and all bids, and his belief that the failure of other printing companies to bid on the proposed contract may have been caused by a lack of knowledge that bids were being solicited. According to Secretary Carpentier, bids were advertised fofr in various newspapers throughout the state sevetal weeks ago. Twelve concerns were furnished specification proposals. Secretary Carpentier states that it was his intention to again advertise for bids and he is hopeful that a number of concerns will take advantage of the additional time allowed and submit bids. • . • •' Need A Rubber Stamp r Ctat It at the Ptaladealer. jjdmrtuemmt From where I sit Joe Marsh Modern Art Takes Licking!
