loaned the Fox family $500 in cash
for which she was to receive prom
issory note, but this was not forth

was made.

MOTOR LICENSES To
Be INCREASED JAN. !
LAW PASSED BY LAST MINNIE
sofa LEGISLATURE WILL.
BECOME OPERATIVE
PENALTIES FEBRUARY Is
TABLE SHOWING CHANGES IN
THE LICENSE RATES ON AV.
ERAGE CAR

The 1922 session of the Minnesota
Legislature entirely revamped the
Motor Vehicle Registration law Of
the state, the new rate becoming eff
fective Jan. 1, 1924. The rate is in
creased from z per cent under the
present law to 2A per cent under
the new law. Motor vehicle owners
especially those who have newer
models, will be called upon to paw a
slightly increased tax over the
amount paid in 1928.
Under the present law, the list
price of 100000 is the highest that
will permit a minimum tax of S12 90.
Under the law effective Jan 1, S4a5.-
90 is the highest list price that will
carry a minimum tax of $1,000.
The new law will change the CLASH
fication for 1924 so that many cars
that have formerly carried the "a"
number plates this year will. after
Jan. 1, 1924, carry "B" plates.
Under the new law the 1924 tax
will be based on the factory list
price effective Nov. 1, 1925 for all
corresponding models similarly to
those still being manufactured.
Through this change on account of
the 10 per cent depreciation allowed
for each of the first seven years of
motor vehicle life, there will be a
gradual decrease corresponding with
the age of the car.
Secretary of State Mike Holm is
preparing the 1924 rate book which
he expects will be in the hands of
dealers, bankers, register of deeds,
and others who may apply, about
Christmas Day. The time allotted
for re-registration under the new
law has been reduced. To avoid
penalties for delayed registration APP
plications must be- made on or be-
fore Feb. IS. Under the new law,
the registrar has no authority to
waive penalties and there can be no
extension of time. Penalties begin
Feb. 16, at the rate of Csc day for
the first 20 days and 50. 90 a month
thereafter for each month or fraction,
not to exceed five months, making
total maximum penalty of SIS 90
for delayed registration.
The following complete tables il
iustrate the effect of the changes in
the law:

The exhibits of which you had such
