MOTOR TRUCK OWNERS
 VIOLATE THE LAW.
Trucks Must Carry Figures Showing
 Carrying Capacity.

Owners of motor trucks. hundreds of them throughout the state, are violat- ing the state automobile law, and it is doubtful if any of them know that they are so doing. According to the new automobile law that went into eff feet July l, commercial motor vehicles tons must have conspicuous1y in view drivers seat, a plate or permanent ing capacity in pounds of the vehicle and also the light weight in pounds when in running order. The lettering must be not less than one inch in height and each stroke must be not less than three -sixteenths of an inch wide.
 Few. if any, of the big motor trucks in the state are conforming with the new law, probably because the copies of the law have not been carefully read by them. The law reads as fol- lows:
 Commercial motor vehicles having a maximum. carrying capacity of over two tons shall have conspicuously in view on each side of the body of the vehicle, near the drivers seat, a plate or permanent marking, showing the maximum carrying capacity in pounds of said vehicle and also the light weight in pounds of said vehicle when in running order, thus: Max. capy so many pounds: It. w.t., so many pounds the lettering to be not less than one inch in height and each stroke not less than three -sixteenths of an inch wide
