JOSEPH GETS AFTER
TRICKY Transfers

The gentle art Of paying one license
and using the two number plates on
separate vehicles has become rather a
common practice in Richmond. 10 the
belief Of T. w. Joseph, chief inspector
Of the bureau Of weights and meas
ures.
Yesterday Inspector Joseph an
nounced that he would recommend a
change in the system to issue but one
permit plate on each license, making
/. impossible For owners of trucks and
public wagons to split one license be-
tween two regularly operating vehi-
cles.
The ordinance requires that tag
shall be placed on each side OF We
hicie for the convenience of police
men and inspectors on whatever side
the street they may be located. In
spector Joseph is of opinion that a
rigid inspection of both sides OF a
truck cart or wagon will result in
hauling tricky transfers into court
pending the change In the rule he pro-
poses to recommend.
