"If the police department had a
directory on hand it would be a
simple matter to arrest persons re
sponsible for accidents. While a
state law makes it incumbent upon
persons figuring in motor accidents
to report them to the police, such
reports are not always made," said
Hennemann.
"Some time a person will be killed
in a motor accident and the owner
of the car will go scot free because
there is no ready means of learning
who he is."
