in the basement and branch offices
in five cities, is now occupied. The
department has been obliged to
overflow into the halls on the third
and fourth floors of the west side
Of the capitol. This overflow will be
greater soon when the members Of
the legislature require rooms now
used by department clerks.
Among the records renewed each
year are the copies OF registration
, and operators certificates. Approx
mately $4,000 registration cards
are copied and filed in four separate
files. as required by statute. About
700 transfers are recorded four
times. and $4,000 operators cards
are filed twice. The law also re-
quires that these records be kept on
hand for ; years, so that the num-
Der Of cards never decreases. but
increases with the corresponding ad-
vance each year In registrations and

Also among the permanent rec
ords are the histories Of more than
o44.00o accidents. dating as far back

There have also been filed $4,000
suspension record cards. and $4,000
records Of permits issued to gaso-
line filing station proprietors since
1918. The correspondence necessary
