There have been many changes in
the motor vehicle laws of the State
of New Jersey in regards to the is
suing of licenses for 1922. Accord
ing to Max Gibian. of the Perth
Amboy Garage Company. who is
the local agent of the Motor Vehicle
Department, many of the laws which
have been in force for years have
been changed and one must be up
the new rulings if they are to OBJ
tain their 1929 licenses without
trouble. The list of rulings that
must be followed in obtaining the
1922 licenses follows:
No checks accepted.
All applications for 1922 must be
acknowledged before a notary.
All vehicles used for commercial
purposes whether equipped with
solid or pneumatic tires must be
classed as commercial. All COM
mercial cars with pneumatic tires
must be weighed at the city scales
also all commercial cars with solid
tires unless they have been previous
ly registered.
All vehicles used for the trans
portation of passengers for hire
cept vehicles used solely for the
transportation of children to and
from school must procure omnibus
license. The fee for Omnibus Ii
cense will be based on the seating
capacity. 1t is necessary to show
the city license before procuring
their tags. This also applies to APP
~plicants for taxicab license. Under
this ruling the old livery license is
done away with. The new ruling
also effects the cars used by under
takers as well as taxicabs.
In procuring all car license, it is
necessary to have boil the motor
and chassis numbers.
Applications o motorcycle lie
ense must show their motorcycle
| rivers license before procuring the
car registration.
Dealers license will be issued in
sets of q. five only. These licenses
were formerly issued in sets of
three and five.
After January list there will be
transfers made from a to a

could be given to the new purchaser
when the car was sold. now the Ii
cense must be held by the original
| owner and used on any new a pur
chased by him. The party buying
his former car must obtain a new
license plate.
The fee for pleasure cars will be
forty cents per H.. p. tor all cars
/! from l to 20 H. p. and fifty cents
| per II. p. for all cars over 80 II. p.
There has also been a raise in
the rates on commercial cars.
All city. county, state and gov
eminent owned vehicles will be
registered without fee upon appli-
cation to the Trenton office. Driv-
| ers of the above mentioned cars
will be registered free of charge.
| Applications for free registration
may be obtained at any office of the
department of motor vehicles and
after being filled out sent to Tren-
ton. The driver of a city or gov
eminent owned a will get a free
drivers license to use with this a
or truck, but this license can not
be used when the driver is operat-
ing a car not owned by the city or
government.
The license plates for 1922 will
be ready for delivery by December
1 and owing to the change in the
laws, which means more wor for
the office issuing the plates, Mr..
Gibian urges that auto owners
may rrange now to get their
plates as soon after the first of De-
cember as possible so hat they will
not be left without the necessary
tags on the first of the year..
