Clelland at this time, It IS understood, but
is expected that by next year the license
bureaus may include virtually every coun-
ty seat in Indiana If the present arrange
ment proves satisfactory to the secretary
OF States Office
II IS pointed ont that these out State
bureaus viii not issue tags upon mail
applications, but that owners Of motor
vehicles from any adjacent territory must
apply in person. Most important Of all.
the owner must present his certificate Of
ownership Of such vehicle In applying for
license. II the certificate Of title is not
presented license plates will not be issued.
Another important point Is that all checks
presented with license applications must
be certified. Chauffeurs licenses will be
issued at the branches. but dealers' plates
viii be issued only at the Statehouse.
In making this arrangement for branch
license bureaus. the HoosIer state Auto
Association declares IL believes It will
thus provide n distinct service TO motor
vehicle owners Of Indiana and points out
that this extension Of service will be able
to provide license plates quickly for mp.
proximately 10000 motor vehicles The
congestion heretofore common In the Of
fee OF the secretary OF State will thus
be greatly decreased and considerable
saving IN clerical hire Is anticipated
The automobile association states that
it has made no plans 10 distribute license
plates in indianapolis but that notary
service and assistance in filling In appli-
cation blanks probably will be provided
for the local membership. All local IL
cense plates Will he issued NJ the Secre-
tary Of states office.
