INFORMATION ABOUT DOG TAX
Confined from 1rut parel

these Justices make returns of the
number of the licenses issued and
the money received therefor. So
this arrangement makes the pay
ment of dog tax licenses compare
lively easy for those who try to obey
the laws. 1t is possible that this
arrangement is not generally un-
derstOod, for in some localities the
public was not generally informed,
but the money can be paid to the
Chief Game Warden, John P. Le-
fevre, Dover, Del, or at any Justice
of the Peace who has the blank
forms issued to him for the conven-
ience of that neighborhood.
We hope that Mr.. Goldinger and
his neighbOrs about Harrington,
will understand how this tax can be
settled; but if this is not clear, then
they should write direct to the State
Game Warden, John P. Lefevre, Do
yer, Del, who will supply all infor-

Revise Dealers Tag List.
In another feature which is new
this coming year, that of issuing all
dealers license tags from Dover, Mr..
Prouse is seeking to cut down the
large number of illegal license tags
that have gotten into the hands OF
persons not considered dealers un-
der the law. In order to be straight
upon the subject. Mr.. Prouse has
gotten from Attorney General Clar-
ence A. Switzerland, an opinion on
the motor law dealing with dealers
licenses. Mr.. Switzerland has in
formed the department that dealer
is man who sells cars, old or new.
To prove that he is a dealer, he
must furnish proof such as a con-
tract with manufacturer that he is
the authorized dealer and sales |
agent for this or that make of car. |
Repair shops, garage and acces-
sorry dealers and merchants do not |
come under this provision, the at
torney general states, and conse-
quently no garage man, repair shop
man or accessory dealer is entitled
to a dealers license and the re-
duced rates which such merchants
obtain.
To further strengthen his effort,
Mr.. PrOuse last week consulted
with State Senator Charles W. Har-
desty, the father of the bill which
the granting of dealers
licenses at reduced rates, to see
what was in the mind of the maker
of the measure that is now a law.

his Interpretation of what was in
tended by the law.
1--WE want to give the legitimate
Dealers" said Senator Hardesty,
the authority to obtain licenses
under arrangements for them to do ]
business such as was accorded deal '
ers in other states. We meant in I
hat statute, that legitimate dealers
should furnish proof of their au- :
.hority to do business. Repair
shops, garages and accessory mer-
chants were not meant and should
not be granted such dealers Ii ,
,enses." s
This final proof of what the law
means is plain enough and some t

lave been obtaining Dealers licen- |
;es in this state, who are not enti- I
