Proposed Amendment Would Provide
That Chattel Mortgages Be Ef
fective lm Any County la State.
With the Intention of amending the
chattel mortgage law respecting auto
mobiles. Benjamin C. Sheldon. Repre
sentative from Jackson County, has In
troduced a bill in the Legislature,
known as House Bill 52. which is de
signed to prevent fraud, yet which
would work no hardship except on the
person attempting to commit the fraud.
As tho law now stands, if an auto-
rmobile is mortgaged and then taken
rrom the county where the mortgage
was given and remains in an
other county for 30 days, it can
be sold and the holder of the mortgage
will have no recourse, but must lose his
lien on the automobile. This provision
of the law invites fraud, and such fraud
has been worked In a number of cases
In this state.
The proposed amendment provides
that a chattel mortgage on an automo
bile may be recorded in the Secretary
of State's ofiice and thereby become
effective and enforcible in any county
In the state.
"With such a Isrge number of auto
mobiles being sold on part payment,
and with a chattel mortgage taken
for the" unpaid balance. It becomes im
possible for the dealer to watch all
such machines and make sure that they
are not spirited away Into another
county for the 30-day period." says Mr.
eneiaon.
