plates having been done away with
by the last legislature, new plates
with a distinctive color are to be fur
nished annually in the future. The
color selected for the year beginning
March l is a striking green back
ground with white letters and nu-
merals.
With view of instructing the
motoring public, the secretary has
prepared the following rules, which,
if followed, will greatly expedite mat
tiers:
1t is imperative that applicants for
motor vehicle licenses should see that
their names and addresses are cor
rectly and legibly written upon the
application before signing it. This
is the only means that the state de-
partment has of making prompt de-
livery of licenses and plates. The
number of license plates returned to
the state department during the past
year by the postal authorities I'M
claimed is appalling, consequently
great care should be used in seeing
that correct information is given to
the county auditor.
If an applicant changes his ad-
dress after his application has been
made, he should notify the secre-
tary of state, giving the name of the
county, county auditors number and
the date of his application. Do not
depend upon the postal authorities to
forward your mail. The license
plates are sent to you by parcels post
and cannot be forwarded or returned
to the secretary of state by postmast-
ers until additional postage is re-
ceived.
Private Glass: All manufacturers
have been requested to furnish this
department shipping weight of We
hicles manufactured by them and the
county auditors have been furnished
with a list of all of those received.
This list, however, is far from being
complete, for the reason that many
of the manufacturers have not re-
sponded to the request and your car
may not be listed. In such case 1t
will be necessary that your present
a certificate of weight from a public
scale owner at the time of making
your application.
The fee for this class of licenses is
$40 for the first 1900 pounds and
60 cents per hundred pounds for
each additional hundred pounds.
Fractions Of hundred pounds are not
taken into consideration. In addi-
ton to this fee, add 25 cents for each
which constitutes the
statutory county auditors fee.
Motor Trucks and Trailers: Pro-
cure q certificate of weight from q
public scale owner and present the
same to the county auditor with your
application. The fee for vehicle of
this class Weighing less than 1000
pounds is $40 regardless OF the ca
pacity load of such vehicle. The fee
for vehicle weighing 1900 pounds
is $40 and 40 cents per hundred
pounds for all In excess OF 1900
pounds up to and including $500
pounds, and in addition thereto 40
cents per hundred weight at the
rated capacity load Of the vehicle.
The fee for q truck Weighing 5000
pounds or more is $40 for the FIRST
1900 pounds and so cents per hun
dred weight for all in excess Of 1900
pounds and in addition thereto 50
cents per hundred weight at the
rated capacity load. Fractions of
100 pounds are not taken into con-
sideration in figuring that portion Of
the fee based upon the weight Of the
vehicle.
In figuring that portion Of the fee
based upon the capacity load of the
vehicle the actual load capacity will
be used, including all fractions of
100 pounds. In addition to the above
add 20 cents for each application,
which constitutes the statutory coun-
ty auditors fee.
