GEORGIA ENACTS NEW AUTO LAWS Publication: Automotive Daily News Dateline: Atlanta, Georgia Date: 27 August 1925 Subject: American Government , Crime

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 26.—Closing days of the 1925 session of the state legislature were marked with the passage of three measures dealing with automobiles and the motoring industry. The most important, from the angle of the individual car owner, is the law designed to halt automobile stealing by requiring better registration of cars and by giving deed to automobile which must be transferred to the new owner when a car is sold.

Georgia has long been a fertile field for automobile thieves and a dumping ground for stolen cars.

Under the new law any one who buys a car without requiring certificate of title takes the car at his own peril and under conditions which on their face imply that the car has been stolen. The new law virtually destroys the market for stolen cars.
