Van Duzer said now handles some
100000 records, used in part for
necessary titling and registration, two
for the title division, which last year
issued 100000 titles: one additional
clerk for the permit division, which
last year issued 79,6OO permits; and
two additional examiners to add to a
staff of four which in 1856 gave ex-
aminations and tests to nearly $4,000
applicants, $4,000 of which were dis
approved.
Van Duzer sought two additional
junior engineers, who he said were
needed because of the increase in
population, which required the in
stallation of many additional traffic
signals and signs throughout the city,
and he emphasized that the depart
