'9]O LICENSE TAGS
ADAy BEING ISSUED
|. TO MEET D. c. RUSH
Van Duzer Fears 5000 to
10000 Motorists Will Be
Too Late to Get Plates.
DECLINES TO EXTEND
TIME FOR APPLICANTS
Taxi Drivers Warned by Utilities
Commission to Have Cabs
Examined.

Although the organization built up
by Traffic Director william A. Van
Duzer was issuing 900 license tags an
hour today, it appeared inevitable that
from 5000 to 10000 dilatory Washing
ton motorists would be compelled to
leave their cars in garages over the
New Year holiday
Mr.. Van DuZer said there would be
no extension of time for the accommo-
dation Of motorists who do not have
their tags by closing time tomorrow.
The Traffic Bureau will be closed from
that time until Tuesday. and it will be
impossible TO obtain tags during the
interval
A total of $4,000 licenses had been
issued at closing time yesterday. 1t
was expected 5000 would be given out
today and as many more tomorrow.
Based on last years registration fig
ures, this leaves approximately 1000
motorists who will not have tags.
Anticipates Slight Drop.
Mr. Van Duzer said there may be
fewer automobiles in operation as a
result of the hard times, but he did
not anticipate any appreciable decrease
in the number. Some States, however.
have recorded decreases as high as 20
per cent from last years total.
In discussing his decision not to ex-
tend the time limit, Mr.. Van Duzer
pointed out it has been possible to
obtain tags since November %. Only
10000 were issued, however. during the
first week. as compared with approx
mately $4,000 being issued weekly now
to the last-mlnute drivers.
The job of handling the late rush
has been greatly facilitated by 80 men
recruited from the lists of the Dis
trict Committee on Employment. The
traffic director said many of these
men are college graduates and it would
have been impossible for his Office to
have operated so effectively without
their assistance.
Fail to Have Cabs Tested.
The Public Utilities Commission an
nounced today no extension of time
would be allowed to taXicab drivers in
which to have their cabs examined by
commission inspectors as to mechanical
safety and appearance beyond tomor-
row at 4;3o pm. OF approximately
3,7O0 cabs, only $500 had been in
Spected up to noon today, and it was
not thought possible to examine the re-
mainder by the deadline.
No taxi driver can get a tag for his
cab unless he can present a certificate
showing it has been approved. The in
spections are made on E street in front
Of the District Building and also on the
streets near the Traffic Department
headquarters in the Ford Building.
