November Elections

George F. Lohman, chief clerk of
the election commissioners, announces

ton, ON October Z, will be held under
the provisions of the fifty-ward law
The November election for state

ward lines.
Several unofficial party representa-
tives of new wards have already been
selected by local political organiZa-
tions, but whether they will have any
official standing, unless they are elect

Washington, April 27-"The pend.

One Hundred Thousand Unlicensed Cars
Run Upon the Streets OF Chicago
Every Day Unnoticed by Cops
While Large Number of Owners Deliberately Beat
the City Out of Their Vehicle
Tax

One hundred thousand auto owners
in Chicago are running their cars
without a license.
Any observer will be astOnished,
upon looking at the license number
plates of passing motors, to notice
the large number carrying a 1921
license.
This is the fourth month of 1922
and honest auto owners are wonder
ing why the authorities make fish
of some and flesh of others.
The eagle-eyed cops in Chicago and
the Katzenjammer cops in the coun-
try towns give licensed autoists all
the trouble they can.
They never notice the unlicensed
gang. AS this beats the state out of
a very large revenue, it is strange
how they get away with it.
A new wrinkle in cutting the cost
of automobile maintenance has been
discovered by motorists, according to
Henry Wilson, head of the city license
bureau. The wrinkle has cost the city
thousands of dollars.
Having paid SO for a vehicle tax
tag, many motorists have applied for
duplicates on the ground that the
original was lost. The duplicate for
many months cost 81. Now the price
has been raised to $8 The dupli-
Gates. purchased for 81, were turned
over to friends, according to Mr.. Will
son The cut rate scheme was dis
covered by checking the city records
