~ says that at least 500 600 was un-
necessarily spent by Philadelphians alone
last year with auto license brokers OF the
jazz type.
The get your license n-twclve hours
breed.
The Commissioner further informs me that
the profits of Philadelphia automobile license
brokers Of this class will be pretty well
wiped out this year
Individual applicants for licenses will re-
ccivc their plates within forty eight hours
after the application and the cash are re-
ccived. -,
1.-The automobile division is so organized
now, says the Commissioner. that 1t Will
be possible to have every days business
cleaned up when the Office closes at night,
There was great deal of reckless critl-
cism of this office last year, said Mr..
Sadler.
Zone gentleman proclaimed that his
license had been held up for two weeks. |
personally investigated his case.
'lle had made the necessary affdavits be-
fore his notary. The notary then held his
application till he had collected about 100
more and sent them in bunch to this office.
THE notary and not our automobile di-
vision was responsible for the delay
Up to the present over 25O,WO applira-
tlons for auto licenses nave been received
and filed
WlLLlAM j. RONE1, manager of the
w State Workmcn's Insurance Bureau,
has all sorts Of queer things brought to his
official attention.
As n rule. he says, the most persistent
first" appliances are tn" workingmcn, or
those for whom the devices have been pro-
vided:
Industrial concerns introduce safety
device and explain its operation to the
workers.
y description OF Its advantage is listened
to with indifference.
It goes in one ear and out the other The
appliance Is regarded as fad or new
tangled. and in a few days 1t is cast aside.
