With 10000 automobiles regis tered

trar Fred B. 1ngstad has sent out in
spectors to check up on motorists who
have not obtained new licenses.
1.-The total registration last year
was 145,00O and with the recbrds
showing $4,000 new cars purchased
this year it is obvious that numerous
persons have not yet applied TO orrtheir

The registrars depa rtment, which
has been working at top speed since
January when it was flooded with Ap-

the work and tags are being sent out
the same day the application is re-

ccived daily but it is obvious that
numerous persons must have the mat

the registrar said
Ingstad is asking the coopera tion
of every motorist who has purchased
tag in his effort to make sure that
every other motcrist complies with
the law.
''Thc presence on the road Of an au-
tonrobile without tags is menace to
other rimotorists," said 1ngstad. "Tags
are intended to be a means of idcnti-
fication. If machine without tags
is involved in an accident it could skip
sway and the injured person would
have no recourse.
"An0ther thing to be remembered is
that every man who aviods paying his
