the accompaniment of the far-famed

phenated number plate could later on
correctly call off the figures. EYorts
to recollect plate unbers OF four or ave
figures IN which the dash was not used
were generally futile.

single figure beinc taken nj night az II

BY dividing New York state into
three automobile zones the use of six
figures on nunber plates will here's fter
be done away with. All automobiles in
the Buffalo zone will carry plates in
which the single letter "B' will preceds
the registration number and serve to in
dicatc the locality from which the car
comes.
Automobiles In the so-cal,ed Albany
zone will carry the letter "A" or the
number plates, and New York city zone
cars will have no alpha betical char
acterization. The zone idea Is an in
noVation. II Will probably h. sdopted
in other States in which there are many
thousands OF carr and where there are
two or more large and widely separated

In the New York city zone next year
the automobiles will carry plates with
registration numbers running from | 10

start AT 30ol and run 20 $4,000. There
