AUTOS BOUGHT IN JUNE
PAY Sc LICENSE FEE

Pierre. S. D.-Auto owners who
their machines late in
June are putting up a vail over the
ruling of the secretary of state in
regard to the license they must paw.
The old law for six dollar license
fee was in effect up to the first of
July and the statutory provision up
TO that time, while allowing the pur-
chaser TO operate under dealer S
license for fifteen days, also required
that application for registration
shall be made by mail or otherwise
before such vehicle shall be used. -
This is held to apply to all autos
punrEased prior to July LIST. the time
OF going into effect of the new act,
and that the thre dollar license fee
cannot apply to any auto purchased
before the new law became effective.
The effect of this will be that the
purchaser in June who thought he
would operate under dealers Ii
cense until after the first of July,
and then get the three dollar rate
on application for a license, will find
his application rejected and held for
the balance of the old fee before he
s given a license plate
