sized, asserts Mr.. Dill, by the fact that
registrations during the past year
have been increased by approximately
$4,000 cars and 10000 additional driv-
ers. Only through rigid compliance
with the law, he declares, can high
way congestion be limited and a re-
duction effected in the number Of au-
tomobile fatalities.
No Special Privileges
In no instance, it is added, are mo-
florists to be allowed special privi-
leges. All violators are to be pun
ished to the fullest extent. The state
ment of Mr.. Dill to the police on this
point reads:
There is an impression in the
minds of some of our people that a
low number registration is a license
to violate the law and to demand
special privileges. Let me impress
upon you that every mctorist regard
less Of his or her registration num-
bers, should be punished if they vio-
late our laws, and / want no cour-
tesies extended to holders of low reg
lstration numbers that you would not
extend to every other motorist"
New Jersey registration plates and
licenses will become effective at mid
night Wednesday, December 81, states
the notice. The same applies to New
York and Pennsylvania plates, though
Pennsylvania drivers licenses issued
during 1924 will be valid until March
J., next.
BY agreement with motor vehicle
officials Of Delaware, registration
plates of that state for 1924 may be
used In New Jersey until January z.
Virginia and Michigan also are ex-
ceptions to the general rule. Virginia
plates and licenses for 1924 may be
used until January 81 and 1924 tags
and licenses of Michigan will be good
until March l.
Jersey motorists will be permitted
to display their 1925 plates. which are
aluminium and blue in color, any time

10 the fact that 1t is unlawful to mu-
tilate number plate by cutting or
otherwise reducing the size. mas
much as tn, dimensions are pre-
acribed by law.
In asking strict enforcement of
the statute regulating the use Of new
tags. Mr.. Din suggests that the police
likewise give heed to the requirement
that all plates be SO placed that they
can readily be deciphered. This
suggestion is intended to eliminate
the practice OF many autoists in OBJ
securing the numerals by bumpers,
tire racks, etc.
