NEW LICENSE TAGS.

All automobile licenses will expire
on December 31st, and it will be nee
essary for automobile owners to OBJ
tain new tags for 1923 in order TO run
their cars after the last day of this
month. No motor vehicle can be run
on January list or succeeding days
without having the 1923 tag displayed.
The new tags are now being issued
by Motor Vehicle Agents in Atlantic
County and these officials advise all
car owners to get their license tags
as early as possible, to avoid the
great rush ut the last of the month.
Last year there were many people
who had to stop running their cars
for several days, because they neg
lected to get their new licenses in
time. By complying with the request
to get the tags early this can be
avoided this year.
