FLORIDA HAS RECORD
FOR HEAVY RAINFALL

GAINESVILLE, Fla.-Records Of the u.
S. weather bureau show that Florida
rainfall holds the record, in a single
day downpour exceeding anything that
California can boast of.
In October 1924, the rain which
fell during one 24-hour period at New
Smyrna amounted to 1922 inches, or
almost an inch an hour. As far as
weather records go that is the most
rain that has ever fell in Florida in
one day. The highest rainfall for any
month occurred at the same station
during the same month and amounted
to 50 inches.

LEGAL LIMIT FOR 1929
LICENSE is MARCH 81

Have you got your 1929 license
plates on your car? A Highway bull
letin reminds US that March 81 is
the last day the 1923 plates may be
used legally. We notice that great
many drivers still have the old plates
on their cars. Many car owners lay
their plates away when they get them
and forget to put them on, but if they
do not get them attached before
next Monday, some officer is liable
to hang a red tag on their car.
Any car owner who forgot to ap-
ply for his license before February
Is, has several dollars penalty ac-
cured by this time, and the onger he
waits the more it will cost him.
