Truck Plates Received

Secretary Of State J. E. Bunker had
the following to say on Friday regard
ing the auto truck situation, a short

time:
con July l, 1916, there had been reg
istered at the automobile department
in this office a total Of 1920 auto trucks
against 81 on the same date Of last
year On May l last, anticipating that
owing to the large increase Of trucks
then already registered, we would not
have a sufficient number Of plates, We
ordered an additional lot. The plates
were shipped on June from St. LOUIS
Mo, on the guarantee of the shipping
railroad that they would be delivered
in Augusta in five days. They did ar
rive in Augusta at 10 A. NJ, July I. OF
81 days from shipping point to destina'
ton
We were out of auto truck plates
trucks were registered. To save tho
owners from Inconvenience. we sent
each owner a regular plate and a spe'
cial certificate for their protection. On
receipt of the new truck plates we also
informed each owner that a set I"
plates of the proper kind has been sent
to him, with a letter stating the situa'
ton and asking the return Of the reg
ular plate, enclosing a gummed and ao'
dressed label and the necessary pos
tase. This was all attended to on FIJI
day and made no little addition to OUT

Watkins became the leading LADY, of
the organization. She graduated into
the premier organization of the COM
