average of only once month the
owners will not be required to take
out the tags.
When this law became effective
last fall it resulted in considerable
excitement between Pennsylvania
and the adjoining states. Delaware
soon settled her part Of the dispute
by agreeing to conform to the PENN
sylvanfa law and to see that all
Pennsylvanians cOnformed to the

The greatest disturbance between
states occurred when New Jersey

without New Jersey tags. Subse-
quently New Jersey receded from
It's position and made its require
ments conform TO those of Pennsyl-
vania. 4
