FOR HAVING
TOO MANY LICENSES

Special TO The Evening Journal.
NEWARK. Jan. 24.-While It is
not unusual for autoists to be fined
for failure to provide the necessary
State license, probably the first case
of one being fined for having too
many licenses occurred at Elkton
yesterday. The victim was the driver
of the auto truck of the Linde Air
Products Company OF Eighteenth
and Cambria streets. Philadelphia.
This company has a plant in Elkton
and offices in Philadelphia. The
truck makes regular trips through
Delaware and Maryland and conse-
quently the owner has provided IL
cense tags for Pennsylvania, Della
ware and Maryland. The truck
went through Newark yesterday and
on reaching Elkton. the driver was
arrested and taken before Magistrate
Frank G.. Pratt, who imposed a fine
OF $40 and costs. The charge was
carrying too many license tags on
the truck, the magistrate contend
ing that a Maryland law makes Il
unlawful for a machine to carry
more than two license tags How
this truck is going TO do business in
each OF the three States without
having a license for each was not
explained. The matter has caused
much amusement and also anxiety
among owners OF trucks used in
commercial business.
