$4,000 MOTORS IN IOWA
Secretary Of State Allen Can't Pro
vide the License Plates-Too Z
Little Help, He Says.

As a result of complaint BY q
Woodbury. county man, submitted TO
w. s. Allen. secretary of state, con-
corning delay in the distribution OF
automobile plate numbers, the secre-
t,ry of state has issued statement
declaring that delays have been caused
by reason. of the enormous increase
in demands for plates and by failure
of the legislature to supply an appr0-
priation large enough to handle the
work. Mr. Allen states that|he has
eleven clerks in the department, where
fifty are needed during the rush perl
cd.
1--WE have registered exactly 1Q5,93S
automobiles in Iowa up to May lSth,b
said Mr.. Allen. up to May is, 1914,
we registered 1G,443 machines. We
are now within 1000 OF the total mum
Der of cars registered during the en-
tire twelve months of 1914. The auto
mobile fees this year SO far amount
to 1882, 555.O5. We will register more
than 10000 machines this year, and
in 1916 l expect there will be at least
l75,OO6.
Il do not intend to have this rushed
condition occur again. Next year Il
expect to put on as many clerks as
can work conveniently, no matter
whether the appropriation is exhaust
ed early in the year. 1 will then de
pend on the retrenchment and reform
committee to help me out"
