NOT MANY CARS
REGISTERED SO FAR
COUNTY TREASURER FREEMAN
HAS SUPPLY OF AUTO PLATES
BUT NOT FOR TRUCKS.

The number of plates for the reg
istration of automobiles in the var
ious counties of the state have been
received by the treasurers of the
various counties and the work of
registering automobiles all over the
state began on December first. ID.
l.. Freeman has received Audubon
county's share of plates for automo-
biles but not for the trucks.
Because of the new arrangements
for this year under which there are
only 80 days instead of 60 days to
register, II will keep the office force
of MIR. Freeman on the jump until
after the new year,
There were about 1900 registra-
tions last year and if all of these
were to register this year ii would
mean that no less than 1873 cars
would be registered in Audubon
county every day this month. How
ever, with six days already gone,
only 1928 cars have been registered so
far Thus 1t will be seen that the
remaining days will of necessity be
tremendous busy ones.
w. J. Hamilton, county auditor,
has No. l this year The first fifteen
to register were as follows:
VIM. J. Hamilton-10-1.
p. f. Bilharz-10-2.
II. NJ. Bilharz-10-3.

Automobile owners will be help
ing the county officers if they will
come early so that the work may be
accomplished in the limited time
The banks in all of the towns in Au-
dubon county have been furnished
with application rate books and all
the supplies necessary for registra-
ton. Therefore it is not necessary
to make trip to Audubon for the
express purpose of having your car
registered
In order to register a car 1t will
be necessary for the owner to give
the license number for the year
1921. If 1t is possible, 1t will great
ly help If the registration certificates
or receipts for the 1921 numbers are
taken along when you make applica-
ton for the new numbers.
The 1rTomohile nrpber plates
hage a new seas.l-Et DIS yoa9' a na,'-
ing the county's number on them.
Each county has different number.
Audubon county's number is 10 and
each number plate will have this
number on in addition to the num-
Der of the plate. The numbers for
Audubon county will run from / to
5000, II you have a car and your
plate is number SO. your plate will
read as follows: 1868.
Mr.. Freeman regrets that the num-
bers for the trucks in Audubon
county have not yet been received,
but he says truck owners can make
their applications, and plates will be
mailed out as soon as they arrive.
BY so doing the owner will not be
required to pay a penalty Of $1.00
per month after the first of jan
uary.
A new ruling has been received in
regard TO cars which are in storage.
II the car Is put away for the entire
year and not used, the owner can
make an affidavit TO the treasurer
to that effect, but there will be a
personal tax assessed against 1t in
stead of the regular auto tax. But
II the car is taken out of storage and
used at any time during the year
the license must be. paid on 1t and
also the penalty.
