solution of many problems with which
the police have to contend when owners
of motorcars lose their license tags.
Captain Mitls, in urging this plan to-
day, pointed out that many innocent
car owners are penalized for conditions
which exist through no fault OF theirs.
New Jersey and New York already have
created such an office and much of the
red tape and annoyance to automobile
owners is eliminated, In these States
