New Amendment.
Secretary McLendon, today,
gave out the following:
The press of the state will ren
der a public service bv calling at
tention to the amendments just
made to the Motor Vehicle Law.
From now on, no ten dav card
board tags can be used at all, and
it will be a violation of the law for
anyone to attempt to operate a
car under one of these tags.
The amended law makes it the
duty of every sheriff in the state,
of which there are 160, and of
every constable, of which there
are 1,700, one in each militia dis
trict, to swear out warrant and to
prosecute every violator of the
Motor Vehicle Law. In other
words, an army of 1,860 public of
ficers is now charged with the
duty of enforcing this law, not on
ly as to tags, bur as to every re
quirement.
This law will be signed by the
Governor within a day or two, and
the Secretary will, as quickly as
possible, have the same printed
and a copy will be furnished every
Justice of the Peace in Georgia,
and every constable, and every
sheriff. It will not be safe for any
violator of the law to get out of
his militia district with an unreg
istered car.
The amended law also defines
the uses to which a dealer mav
put a dealer’s tag. Many dealers
are now using tags unlawfully.
Constables who swear out war
rants, and Justices of the Peace
who issue warrants, will Up en
titled to the costs as fixed by law
in misdemeanor cases.”
