EXPRESS CUT on AUTO PLATES
Companies Agree to Handle Shipments
Under Postal Ratoa,


Under Postal Rates.
Des Moines, Dec. 2S.-If enamel
didn't weigh so much, the postoffice
receipts for Des Moines in 1912 would
be boosted $1,000 by the state.
But enamel weighs. and therefore
the express companies are going to
carry most of the $4,000 pairs of auto
mobile number plates that will supply
auto owners in Iowa for 1912.
When w. c. Hayward. secretary Of
state. received the first shipment of
number plates for the new period. they
weighed. ready for delivery. shade
under fifteen ounces a pair. However,
the first plates were the dealers num-
bers, and numbered from l to 1000
The plates stamped with one. two or
three numerals weigh fifteen ounces or
under The plates stamped with four
numerals weigh more than fifteen
ounces and some of them sixteen
ounces. The difference in weight is due
to the enamel. The difference in the
weight Of the enamel for two figures
and four figures is almost half an
ounce. The postal department charges
a fiat cent an OUNCE, and when the
scales show tilt overweight. then 1t
costs the state cent more to ship the
plates than the express companies

The first shipment of new plates was
sent to the postoffice yesterday. All OF
those overweight were held for addi-
tional postage.
Inasmuch as all Of the privately

many articles for the daily press not

known cause. destroyed the meat mar
ket, p. ]. Ennis barber shop, a storage
building and stock in same belonging
to Donahue & Donahue. and Otto
Klapka's blacksmith shop, entailing a
loss Of about $4,000, which is covered
by insurance The water pressure was
fine and this fact, together with the
good and hard work OF the citizens,
prevented a more serious loss. Two
stre ans were poured on the fire from
the hose lines and the strength and
size Of same would have done credit tt
water works. BY means of this and
strenuous efforts on the part of the
fire fighters. Ed Cavanaughs large
building adjoining the blacksmith SHOP
was saved from any damage whetever.
Under other circumstances it surely
would have burned.
