ANNUAL AUTO FEE MAY BE So,
Commissioners Considering Change
From Present Charge.

That the PRONUNCIATION of a regulation
establishing an annual license fee of 81
for motor vehicles in the place of the
present perpetual fee of 81 is under con-
sideration by the District of Columbia
Commissioners became known today. This
change in the license arrangement for
local autoists. if carried into effect. it is
stated, would add approximately $4,000
a year to the revenues of the District.

a regulation can be adopted without the
consent of Congress, and Corporation
