sylvania tags instead of a District
tag, because those number plates are
good in Maryland, whereas a District
tag is not recognized in the latter
state.
The District allows a tourist to re-
main in Washington on his home
tag for as many days as his state
permits a District motorist. The new
traffic regulations require. however,
that in taking advantage of this lay
over privilege the tourist must reg
lister at the traffic bureau in the Dis
