CAPT. OSWALT
URGES ACTION
ON CAR PLATES

Automobile owners in Imperial
Valley need not anticipate an eX-
tension in the time limit for obtain
ing 1886 license plates as any eX-
tension is impossible under a law
passed by the legislature, according
to Captain Frank Oswalt of the
California Highway patrol.
The last time for obtaining license
plates is o'clock, January 81, and
the captain said the highway patrol
office in the basement of the court
house will close at o'clock.
Captain OsWalt urged as many as
possible to get their license plates
early, as the last few days always
have found the office jammed with
applicants and it is necessary to
stand in line.
When application is made for Ii
cenSe plates, it is necessary that the
applicant bring the white slip which
bears a stamp denoting validation,
denoting that the 1885 taxes were
paid. Personal property taxes must
be paid at the same time as the Ii
cense fee.
If the license fee and the tax are
not paid by January 81, the penalty
will mean the applicant must pay
double the original fee and double
the original tax, the captain pointed
out.
I'm other words he said, I'VE are
having a bargain sale on licenses
and taxes If automobile owners
wait until after January 81, the price
will go up and the cost is double"
