of New Number Plates Issued by State.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls. July rs. Criticism is
freely offered in automobile circles in
this part Of the state regarding the new
automobile numbers being sent out by

the weather and elements will soon
play havoc with these new numbers
and soon efface them sufficiently to be-
come indistinguishable. The auto driv-
ers feel that in view Of the new increase
in auto tax that the state could we'll
afford to send out something more dur
able and serviceable than these f1imsy
sheet iron placards indicating the Ii
cense is paid.
