Auto Owners Who are
Delinquent.
FINE FIFTY DOLLARS
Suckers are Pasted on Cars Which
are Not Complying With Law
and Prosecution Will
Follow.

There are lot of Keokuk automo-
bile owners who are going to say
good-by to fifty dollars soon. accord
ing to II. q. Rees, who is here from
the state automobile departments
office to check up the delinQuents.
Mr. Rees says that the delinQuents
have had all the notice they are
going to have, and now 1t means
they will pay a fine or get their new
license plates.
"They can avoid that fine by fifteen
minutes work." he said. "All they
have to do is to go to the county at.
torney's Office, pay their license and
get his receipt. Then wen mark the
receipt on the windshield of the car"
The department is using a system
of stickers to notify the owners that
they are delinquent. The sticker
goes on the machine when they find
that the license has not been paid.
Then when it is paid, and the receipt
is accoonted for, a poster announcing
that the receipt is paid is put on the
wind shield. One form of sticker is
used for the owner who has two cars,
and who has failed to get two plates
for each car. This is necessary, the
officials say. Two plates cannot be
made to do duty on two different
cars.
There are lot of paper license
tags which are absolutely worthless,
Mr.. Rees explained. Besides there
are a number of dealers whom the
state authorities claim are violating
the law. In many cases the man
who buys a car is not given a plate
by the dealer as he should be, 1t is
said. This lays the blame on the
dealer as we'll as the owner of the
car The dealers plate gwen when
a car is purchased is good for fifteen
days, and the car owner is supposed
to have made application and to have
a receipt or the new number plate
within that time, the state officials
