belief that all business relating to pub

board and states that in the preparation

II duplication of work, but consider
able expense that is Unnecessary. He
suggests that statutory provision be
made to do away With this feature.
The report recommends that the reg

creased from 81 to So. inasmuch as the
present fee barely covers the expense
or materials for the work of rcsIstra-
ton and leaves no margin for the
work of registration. 1t shows that
during the bienniuin, under the motor
