Warns Owners

To Apply For Certificates

■ of thousands c_ trucks and other commercial mo1 tor vehicles in all parts of the bounty will be without gasoline ffter December 1, unless applications for Certificates of War Ne-

' r for these vehicles are sub1 to the Office of Defense

-portation at once, ODT officials warned late last week. “Despite repeated warnings,” Robert L. Crawford, district manager for southern New Jersey, , declared, ‘‘many commercial motor vehicle operators in this district still do not realize, apparently, that they must have Certificates of War Necessity for their

vehicles.

“Not only will it be impossible to purchase gasoline for commercial motor vehicles after December X without these certificates, but the certificates will also be needed to purchase tires and ■pare parts. "Operators who have not yet •ubmitted applications for Certificates of War Necessity for their vehicles haven't an hour to lose,” Mr. Crawford said.

Motor Vehicle Departihient Ruling On Dimmed-Out Lights

— Continued From Pace One — in Cumberland County. On streets, highways or within areas where vehicular headlights are visible from the sea, but subject to the exceptions hereinafter stated, vehicles shall operate with no more than two lighted driving lamps and each such lamp on the motor vehicle shall not exceed a maximum of 250 beam candle power. (Parking lights generally provide less than this maximum allowance of 250 beam candle power). Normal- rear lights, cense plate lights and clearance light are permitted. Vehicles responding to a fire alarm or when in the immediate pursuit of an actual or suspected violator of the law, or when going to the aid of or transporting a person who is in apparent need of immediate emergency, medical or surgical care, or when responding to other emergency involving ‘he protection of life or property ihall be excepted from the fore-

going provisions.

The New Jersey statutes require that head lamps be of a type approved by the commissioner of motor vehicles

"Applications for certificates are not coming in fast enough. Uhless there is an immediate increase in the number of applications received, it will be im;os•ible for the ODT to issue all Certificates before December 1. “General Order ODT No. 21,

under which trucks, buses, taxi-, — OUH . cabs and other commercial motor i plemented existing headlamp apvehicles are required to carry | provals by extending the approvCertificatcs of War Necessity “1® to permit the use of approvonginally was scheduled to go' ed headlamps when obscured ii

motor vehicle inspection stations have enabled complete enforcement of this provision. Ordinarily the painting of a headlamp lens would void the approval and make of the device illegal. In order remove any conflict between th^ Army order and statutory use. Commissioner Magee today sup-

with driving lamps not exceeding a maximum of 250 beam candlepower regardless of the direction of travel of said vehicles. In the past, drivers proceeding seaward with parking lights or equivalent have been at great disadvantage when meeting cars going in the opposite direction with brighter lights. Safety and ordinary sportsmanship dictate that drivers give one another even more than the usual consideration in the 250 maximum beam

candlepower areas.

In that part o . not covered by the Army order, it will hereafter be legal to operate either with unmodified headlamps of an approved type or with such devices modified and obscured to comply with the Army regulations in effect in the

coastal dim-out area.

Since the obscuring of the upper half of a headlamp lens cuts the "seeing” value of the derice just about 50 per cent. Commissioner Magee points out that such a device is not adequate or safe for even the present war speed of 35 miles per hour unless it is maintained in excellent condi-

no further postponement

"What many operators don't seem to realize,” Mr. Crawford ■aid, “is that many applications take several days to reach the ODT and that several more days •re needed to process the certificates and get them back to the

operator..

"Only applications made on blanks obtained at district offices of the ODT should be returned to those offices. All applications made on blanks received in the mail from the ODT’s central mailing office at Detroit must be returned to that office. “The longer an operator delays in filing his application, the longer it will be before he receives his certificate,” Mr. Crawford continued. The Atlantic City office of the ODT which serves this area is located at 1616 Pacific avenue.

require-

The Commissioner also pointed out that the New Jersey statutes provide that motor vehicles operated after dark with other than approved type of headlamp (parking lamps are not approved headlamps) shall be operated at a speed not to exceed 20 miles per hour. Actually, in practice, operation with some types of parking lights requires great caution even at speeds less than 20 miles per hour. Although the Army regulations > not seem to be completely dear on the subject, the Commissioner presumes that all vehicles operated in areas visible from the sea are to be operated

tion.

The Commissioner sums up the

new Army regulations as follows:

1. In areas where lights arc

visible from sea, vehicles shall operate with no more than two lighted driving lamps and each such lamp shall not exceed a maximum of 250 beam candlepower and vehicle speed shall not

exceed 20 miles per hour. 2. In the defined coastal dim-

out area, excepting areas where lights are risible from the sea, the use of high beam vehicle headlights is prohibited. Headlights. if used, shall have the up- ” :-half of the lens obscured

COURT HOUSE—An inventory of the estate of Burdette Tomlin, filed at the surrogate's office here last week, appraised the personal estate of the Ocean City philan-

thropist at $269,354.44.

A codicil to his will, probated ... July, named the Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital Foundation, as residuary legates. Bequests total-

ed approximately $100,000.

Federal estate taxes are yet to be paid, but it is estimated that, at final settlement, the hospital

New Jersey foundation will receive an amount

a™*’ r in excess of $75,000. The. inventory was filed by the Millville National Bank and Mr. Tomlin’s widow, Rena B. Tomlin, executors, and Henry Roeser, Jr.

and Clarence H. Reeves,

praisers.

It included stocks, bonds, mortgages, bank deposits, cash in safe deposit boxes and miscellaneous personal property. No real estate was included. Mr. Tomlin set up a $25,000 fund in June, 1941 for a general hospital to be constructed in Cape May Court House, stipulating that, if the $25,000 was not matched by other contributions before November 1 last year, his gift must be returned. In a campaign which closed in November, 1941, $36,000 was raised. A short time before his death, Mr. Tomlin gave an additional $10,000 to the hospital foundation. It was estimated last year that a 40-bed hospital would cost approximately $125,000. It was decided early this year not to resume fund-raising activities due to the war. Plans call for' construction of the institution as soon as possible after the war

ends.

In the remainder of the state north and west of the defined coastal dim-out area, it will be legal to use conventional approved headlamps or such headlamps modified in compliance with Army regulations. 4. The regulations provide means of enforcement and severe penalties for violators. 5. The regulations became effective Friday, November 20, and supersede all previous regulations.
