SESSION PLAN
IN EFFECT TUESDAY

For Two Sessions In Mt.
Vernon High School

Supt. of Schools Elliott announced
this afternoon that plans were going
forward for the two session plan in
the Mt. Vernon high school, effective
Tuesday morning. Supt Elliott an.
nounced it would take day or so to
perfect the plans and at this time was
unable which high school classes will
go to school in the morning and
which will attend in the afternoon.
He stated that by Tuesday plans will
be so perfected that an announcement
of this character can be given to the
public.
The two session plan has been
made necessary on account of the fact
that the Industrial commission of
Ohio has condemned the third floor
of the old high school building, as an.
nounced in The Banner Satuprday.

MUST SEND AWAY FOR
AUTOMOBILE License
Until Advent Of 1923 New
Car Owner Must Send To
Columbus For Permit

Throughout the remainder of the
current Year those persons wishing to
secure licenses and number plates
for newly purchased automobiles will
be under the necessity and inconven.
fence of sending direct to the office
of the secretary of state for them
The supply of plates, at the office of
the Chamber of Commerce has be-
come exhausted and will not be re-
plenished during the remainder of
1922.
1t is explained that experience of
past seasons has demonstrated that
the number of applications for licens
es made at the Mt. Vernon C. of c.
office is SO low that there is little
occasion to carry any considerable
supply of the plates. The volume OF
business done in this last quarter OF
the year is relatively small. 1t is toe
small to justify paying transportation
charges to and from Columbus.
The accommodation given automo.
bile owners by the local chamber is
of no small character and in the main
the service is appreciated at it's full
value. The number of those who have
complained or baked at paying the
small fee charged is relatively small
Even those have preferred to pay the
fee rather than to wait and to un
wind all the red tape incidental to
making application for and securing
a license
