suing 1923 Permits With Less
Confusion Is Announcement.

Now that the Commissioners have
made adequate provision for issuing
1929 automobile tags with less con-
fusion and congestion. the number of
applicants has fallen off to a handful
a day.
Hence. if You want to get your new
tags without waiting in line this is
the time to do it. The automobile of
flee has been moved temporarily to
the large room on the street floor oc-
cupied by the water department. This
takes the automobile tag applicants
off the elevators and also segregates
them from the tax Office.
The change was made following a
rush of motorists to get tags the first
day they were on sale. But as soon
as the license office had been placed in
more commodious quarters busine So
fell off.
The general belief Is that motorists
are postponing the purchase of tags
in order to get their real estate and

In substance the commission says that
while there Is legitimate field here
for motor bus service. it does not lie
in the MULTIPLICATION of service to the

tending service into territories SO thinly
populated as not to justify the large
