has suffered a great lass in the death of Sir Thomas H. D. Berridge, K.B E. He was a member of the committee and was the honorary solicitor to the Royal Automobile 'Club, and he represented that body on the Departmental Committee on the Taxation and Regulation of Road k Vehicles. His advice was always sound and it was unstintingly given; he was a keen fighter for the rights of •motor drivers and a firm believer'in the practicability of a petrol tax and in the justice thereof as a measure of user. On the Departmental Committee he pursued that aim consistently and presented a minority report which embraced a suggested scheme to cover the circumstances. He was 67 years of age, and soon after the last meeting of the R.A.C. committee was ordered two months' rest. He died suddenly of heart failure at San dgate, Kent, just after our last issue -went to press. The business of Burn and Berridge will, we believe, be carried on by Mr. Burn, the son of the late Mr. M. J. Burn and Mr. Noel Berridge, well known as the solicitor to the 0 M.D.A. and an esteemed contributor on legal matters to the columns of The Commercal Motor.
