Many Unaware Law ls Unchanged.
III. A. Brink, Of Grand Rapids, has
the distinction of being the first auto
mobile, owner in Michigan to send the
secretary of state the difference be-
tween his license fee on an electric
car as paid under the law declared un-
constitutional by the supreme court
and that he is now subject to pay un-
der the present law, Mr.. Brink sent
the secretary of state $3.50 and did so
without the state having to call his
attention to the bill.
Those who took out licenses on cleo
trio cars, in many cases did not have
to pay SO. the amount now necessary,
and will have to make remittance to
she state for the balance.
That there are hundreds in the state
who are not aware the horse power
automobile tax law has been knocked
out by the supreme court is mani
tested every day. No less than 100
persons applied under the law and
sent remittances covering the horse
power of their machines. This means
additional work for the state depart
ments.
The secretary of state desires again
to call attention to the fact that but
SO is necessary now to secure an au-
tomobile license.
