state for securing the license is
February l.
While in any features the rules
and regulations are similar to those
with which autoists of the state are
familiar. in order that no one may
plead inability to know the rules
in detail, the officers have prepared
carefully studied statement to the
owners. Here it is:
"All cars must be registered by Feb
ruary /.
"Upon application for registration.
certificate of title must be presented;
no exception.
upon the sale Of car, the vendor
should surrender the plate to his coun-.
ty assessor. Should the vendor fail to
surrender said plates, the vendee must
accompany the application for certifi-
cate of title with the license plates
which the car carried at the time Of
purchase. Should the vendor sur
render the plates to the assessor, it
will be necessary for the assessor to
make notation on the application for
certificate Of title to the effect that
plates are in his possession. Applica-a
ton for certificate of title must be
made within 10 days of acquiring car
to the general office of the motor
vehicle division which office will issue
all certificates of title. Should a per-
son make representation to the asses
Sor on the purchase of a new car that
he is leaving the state Immediately

department that the purchaser, is en-

order. Should an individual desire to
retain his previously registered num-
ber, it will be necessary that he make
application in proper form for same.
The plate which he requests shall not
be issued until the one preceding has
been issued in numerical order. Per-
sons desiring certain number may file
their applications in advance with their
assessor so that when the precedent
number is issued, it will automatically
follow that the assessor will issue the
desired number to the person whose
application is on file for same. This
ruling is made mandatory by the motor
vehicle division, of which the various
county assessors offices are SubSi-
daries. In the main office, which is
the office of official record, are being
installed accounting machines which
make it absolutely imperative that

without exception.
"All cars carry flat registration
fee of $3.50. On the reverse side of the
application for registration is shown
the schedule of fees in addition to this
flat rate. There seems to be some mis-
understanding among the assessors as
to whom this schedule applies. The
schedule, is not applicable to common
carriers only, it applies not to class
of owner but to a type of vehicle. The
fee is based on the class of vehicle.
The reason for the fee being based on
the type of vehicle is that unladen

fact that should any vehicle be
equipped with two or more solid tires,
the rate shall be twice that set up in
the table on the back of the applica-
tion.
