til June 1st, inclusive, it will be
necessary for all people burning
any brush to first obtain from him
or a duly authorized agent a Burn
ing Permit to start or cause to be

terial in any of the areas of wood
lands under the protection of the
State Forest Service or within 500

any material in such above men
tioned protected areas; no charge

Highway Safety
That the problem of making our
highways safer will continue to be
a fundamental concern of this Gen
eral Assembly became evident this
week when one-fourth of the public
legislation proposed dealt with
some phase of this problem. Fore
most was a revised financial re
sponsibility law (SB 81) which re
quires jany uninsured driver In
volved in an accident resulting in
personal injury or property damage
to the extent of $100 to post se
curity to satisfy any possible Judg
ment HB 126 would require taxi
operators to obtain liability insur
ance policies. Speed laws as low
as 20 m.p.h. in school zones during
school hours could be established
by local officials under SB 90 which '
has already passed the Senate. Ap
parently designed to curb the pow
er of suggestion, SB 89 would out
law stock car racing. Leak-proof
exhaust systems and safer steering
assemblies are the objects of SB
101. Farmers will be interested In
SB 102 making it unlawful for nmr.
soils under 13 to operate farm mt-
cmnery on state highways. Under
HB 136 the punishment for driving
without a license, now set at a min
imum of $25 and or 30 days, is
left in the judge's discretion. Re
lating Indirectly to motor vehicles,
but significant for safety on high
ways, HB 143 prohibits shooting
game withlp Jh limit of highway
rights of way. . -
