License Director
To Send New Tags
County Auditors Will Distribute
Plates After December 2;
Set Record

OLYMPIA, November 5.-State
License Director Harry G. Huse to-
day was completing arrangements
to send 375,OO0 sets of 1886 auto
license plates to county auditors for
distribution on or after December q.
The new plates, with blue letters
and numbers on white background,
will be in all auditors hands by
November Is. In many counties,
auditors already have assigned low
numbers, while in others the Off
cials have announced "first come,
first serve" policy.
Set New Record
License sales in 1885 set a new
all-time high mark for the state Of
washington.
Plates will bear the same identi-
flying letters as last year, when
they were assigned in alphabetical
order with counties having most
cars coming first.
The system of numbering trucks,
stages, trailers and for hire bus
ses will be changed this year. In
stead Of having licenses in the
7OOO 00-series, they will be labeled
with words designating their type
and beginning with number one.
Tax-exempt cars owned by the
state, government, cities or coun-
ties will be in the same 100000
series. All types of plates except
those for passenger cars will be
issued by the license department.
