telling the weights of the trucks are
seen about the city, and all sorts Of

cordarce with the recent motor ve-
hIde law, according to Section 81 of
the lJ21 laws: Every vehicle in

attached thereto in some visible
place plate giving its actual un-
loaded weight with the weight of its

fed by the manufacturer, or fixed by
the commission; or such seating or
ioadlng capacity shall be plainly
marked or painted on said vehicle
Ihe weight and capacity so appear
ing snail be prima facie evidence of
lheir correctness. One auto truck
seen Friday on the street bore its
capacity tag on the rear end and un
der the license number; another bore
It's tags on the right hand side of the
