Ruling by Secretary Of State VIII A..
feet Those Who Purchase Cars
Before ePrices Became
Higher.
MUST FOLLOW BOOK
Officials Have No Choice in Matter
But There Is Compensation
Coming, II Is Be-
Iieved

A new ruling made by Secretary o.
State w. c. Ramsey this week, &C
lcording to information furnished Dy
the Iowa motor trades bureau
arranges for a refund to persons
whose automobiles were purchased
before the higher manufacturers
price listed in the state book Of
schedules went into effect.
The motor vehicle law provides
that the registration fee be based
upon the manufacturers list price
fixed at the next even 500 and 40
cents per 100 pounds at the next
even 100 pounds of the vehicle fully
equipped.
1t has been necessary, however.
for the county treasurer to charge
the fee given in the book of sched-
ules furnished him by the state.
Many persons taking our licenses
have complained about this for the
price given in the book is more than
the list price on their car at the time
of its purchase. The discrepancy Is
accounted for by the fact that the
prices and weights in the book are
based upon figures furnished by the
manufacturers to the executive coun-
Gil in July while many cars were pur-
chased earlier in the year before the
prices went up.
Holding to the schedule has meant
that the early purchaser was required
to pay a higher registration fee than
called for by law.
Numerous complaints reaching the
state automobile department resulted
In the new arrangement for refund.
The county treasurer is still re-
quired to charge the fee given in the
state schedule, but after paying the
fee the car owner may file claims for
a lower rate He can make anldavit
before notary public that his ma
chine was listed lower than the given
rate at the time of its purchase and
file this complaint with the executive
council which fixed the charge. This
body will then authorize the secre-
tary OF state to refund the. over.
charge.
