1922 LICENSES
FOR MOTOR CARS
NOW ON SALE
Next Years Plates for Cars
Are Black With Orange
Figures

Applications for 1922 motor licenses
NAV now be made by owners of motor
vehicles in Idaho county at the office
Of Calvin Hazelbaker, county assessor.
Up to Wednesday noon, Assessor Ha-
zelbaker had received two applicants
for motor licenses for next year.
Although license plates will be dis
tributed at once, through the office
of the secretary of state, at Boise, 1T
is illegal to use them on machine un-
til after January l. The new license
fee becomes due and payable on Janu-
arv /. Fees are, for motorcycle, So;
car weighing 1000 pounds or less, So;
20O1 to 5000 pounds, $40; 3O01 to
1000 pounds, $50; more than 1000
pounds, $40. !,
Applicants for licenses are advised
that under an act of the 1921 leglsla-
ture application blanks properly filled
out together with the receipt fur
nished by the county assessor, may
be used in lieu of license plates until
the plates arrive. The application and
the receipt must be pasted on wind
shield where they can be seen.
MANY violations of the automobile
registration law are believed to be
due to unfamiliarity with the pro-
visions of the law and for this reason
there has been. printed on the back ot
the application blanks for 1922 snort
svnopsis of certain features OF the
Idaho law. Registrars are ADVISED
by the secretary of state to thoroughly
familiarize themselves with the la"
because ignorance is no excuse.
The color scheme of the 1922 plates
is orange figures on black paek-
ground.
Registration in Idaho for 1921 reach
ed 51,311 and approximate recelpts
for ali licenses sold are $S4O,o2l:4o'
The registration in 1920 was oO,-
861 but the receipts were greater
than for 1921. This is thought due TO
fine fact that a large number of ears
tbis wear took the reduced rate De-
cause of age. In other words, not SO
many new cars were bought In l9Si.
II is estimated that if 1922 mann
ta;ns the normal increase which TOOK

Project Between Whitebird

Completed, Present Plan
Money Available for Grave
Greek Work and Also for
Sites and Kooskia Highway

Three hundred thousand dollars will
be expended during the coming spring
and summer On the North and South
highway, between Whitebird and
higgins, according to information
brought to Grangeville last Friday by
Hon. Seth D. Jones, state senator
from Idaho county, who has been in
conference in Lewiston with William
J. Hall, state commissioner of public
works.
According to Senator Jones, Com
missioner Hall said the highway de-
partment expects to advertise for bids
between February l and Is for build
ing standard highway through the
Salmon river canyon. Much new road
already has been built through the
canyon, and the additional work plan
ned by the department will assure a
standard, permanent highway virtually
all the way from Whitebird to Rig
gins, thus eliminating difficult grades
in places where now it is necessary for
travel to use the old road.
The commissioner promised $4,000,
appropriated by the last legislature,
immediately for the Grave creek road.
This money will be handled through
the board of county commissioners.
Twenty thousand dollars will soon
be available for building a permanent
road between Sites and Kooskia,
distance of three miles. This road will
follow the South Fork of the Clear
water river.
County Commissioner George ID.
Smith also attended the road meeting
last week in Lewiston.
