Twenty Thousand Autos
Still Unlicensed, Only
Three Days Grace
K X x = X X 4 y X x X X X X =

Up to Saturday night the automobile
department had issued 2S,020 auto Ii
censes, 66l motV licenses, S9l for
chauffeurs and 376 for dealers. This
lis in round numbers 10000 more than
were issued at the same date last
year. A statement has been published
that the state allows ten days in
which to secure licenses after the year
begins This is a mistake, as the law
says the licenses must be secured be-
fore the cars are operated, and this
means that under the law car cam
not be used even ON New Years day
without the license. How ever lhe de-
partment has nothing to do with the
enforcement of the law, that being en-
tirely in the hands of the police and
constabuIary. These, it seems, have
heretofore not made any arrests for
violation of the law during the first
ten days of the year. but it is their
own arranging of the law for the con-
veniencc of autoists, and is really a
violation of the law ON their part
Judging by last year s licenses there
are about 10000 autos still unlicensed
and as applications are coming in at
a rate of less than 1000 day, it will
be seen that with only three days left
of the ten granted by the police there
will be perhaps $4,000 autos that will
have to quit running or run at the
risk of their owners being arrested
and fined.
