1912 automobile licenses to the aut'
owners OF the state. His department

suing the 10000 licenses issued to tn
owners for the last half OF the yea

cations will be f1led In the order II
which they are received and the mum

The new express rates for low,
became effective Tuesday at mid
night. The rates make a general ar
proximate reduction OF Is per cent ii
the express rates OF the state. al
though It Is expected that when the.
are actually worked out the reduction
will be even greater than Is per cent
The most important feature OF tn,
the new rates Is the maximum grad
uated charges which the express com
panies will be permitted to make un
der the new rule Of the board OF rain
road commissioners. This graduated
charge is based on the merchandise
rate and affects the sending OF pack
ages weighing less than 100 pounds
An example OF the effect Of the new
rate Is as follows: II the merchan
disc rate on package weighing lesl
than 100 pounds Is from 40 cents tt
81, a package weighing not over on
pound will be rated at 20 cents, Thil
| is the lowest minimum express rat,
| in the United States. The same rat
| prevails, up to the present rate Of 81
! cents, for all packages weighing no
over five pounds; that Is. where ther'
| is now 6o-cent rate on five-pount
package, the new rate will be but q
cents. The scale Is graduated OF
through to 100 pounds.
