LICENSES
NOW READY
auto Owners Must Secure 1929 Plates
Before First Monday In February
To Comply with Law

Thus far there are very few 1922
automobile licenses to be seen In this
community which points to the fact
that a lot Of local people had better
watch their step or the sheriff will
get 'em. Every automobile owner has
until the first Monday In February to
procure 1922 license plate and after
that date they are subject to arrest
should they drive their automobiles
without procuring new license.
This year, following out a custom
adopted by nearly all states. Nevada
will furnish two plates for each car.
The one plate idea worked perfectly
wonderful in Nevada, but motorists
that journeyed to the coast In their
machines, found It great incon-
veninence to be stopped at nearly
every corner by traffic cops In Calf
fornia cities and told that your front
license plate was missing.
The new 1922 plates are now ready
for distribution and must be secured
before the first Monday in February.
Sheriff Nielsen Is ready to book your
orders for new plates and anticipates
brisk business during the next two
weeks.
