l947 General Assembly, fixes
three basic figures - $40, $l2
and SIS for private passenger
vehicles - and a flat $50 fee fol
taxicabs and other service AND
for hire" passenger vehicles.
These new rates mean that
the plates for many light or low
priced automobile will cost few
cents more than in the past, while
those for the heavier, higher
priced vehicles in most instances
will be slightly less.
Into the SIS bracket fall Cadil;
laos, Lincolns, and buses and
hearses of all makes. Also in
Guided are Checker Cab, Dusen-
berg, Pierce Arrow, Rolls Royce,
Stevens Duyrea, and Yellow Cab,
all of which are no longer manu-
featured.
In the SIP fee bracket are the
Buick, Chrysler, Lincoln ephyr,
Packard and several makes which
are no longer manufactured,
chief of which are LaSalle,
Graham Paige, Franklin, Hup-
mobile and REQ.
Into the $40 bracket fall all
other makes-the Fords, Chevro-
lets, Plymouths, Dodges, and
Studebaker
The new rates tend to put all
makes of cars on flat fee basis,
and will greatly simplify licens-
ing procedures for both motor
lists and licensing officials.
Here are a few examples OF
how the rates will work:
A motorist who owns 1912
Ford weighing $500 pounds paid
$3.50 cents for his l947 license
plates. However, when he buys
his 1913 tags he will pay flat
$40 fee, thereby paying 20 cents
more.
The owner of i l947 Ford
weighing 3,l00 pounds paid
$lO85 for his l947 tag. However,
when he purchases the '48 set he
will pay only $40, thus saving
himself IS cents.
The license plate for 4 l947
Cadillac weighing 4,50O pounds
cost $l5.75 in l947. However,
next year the plates will cost
SIS, thus saving rs cents.
Col. L. c. RosSer, Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles, said that all
registration cards for 1913 would
be mailed by December to the
States 877,553 vehicle owners.
He urged motorists to hold on
to them, for you cannot get your
1913 plates without presenting
that registration card" The card
is OF double Importance next
year, because all motorists must
present it when they submit their
vehicles to the States mechan-
ical inspection lanes. No vehicle
can be inspected until the owner
has first presented his registra-
ton certificate.
Col. Rosser asked motorists
who do not receive cards with
in a reasonable length of time,
or by the fifth of December, to
get in touch with the Depart
ment Of Motor Vehicles, giving
a description of the car along

their 1913 license plates can be

NEW HOMES FOR VETERANS IS FAR FROM
 PROMISING PICTURE

The man in charge of housing controls = Major General Phillip B. Fleming - could not paint a promising picture this week for veterans in search of new homes
 Even for most veterans, said Fleming the chance to buy a home this year is likely to remain what he called an unattainable luxury. Reason for that, he said, is our system of doing things. For one thing, the building construction in- dustry still is using techniques which are long out of date. Of this. he remarked, for a country tlar boasts the greatest productive ca pacity on earth, the whetched con dition of much of our housing is paradoxical.
 The General made three recom- mendations:
 Construction costs, he said. should be reduced through the use of modern mass-production meth ods - the adoption of those cost cutting technological Improvements used in the construction of auto mobiles and refrigerators.
 Another thing continued Elem ing, must be a revision of building codes. Finally, he said, the gov ernment should build homes for those in the low income groups.
 Fleming estimated that one mil Hon dwellings will be built this year, although he called this a mera drop in the bucket. Because. he said, We will need at least one million houses a year for 20 years. The General thought that the 1947 construction would be of some help to veterans. He said they might be able to rent more houses at the people who make money move into new houses.
 Fleming's announcement that landlords will be permitted to charge higher rents in hardship cases has provoked resentfuI state ments from the real estate lobby in Washington. It doesn't helD much, say the real estate spokes- men. The only solution is for a general increase in all rents. And OPA officials have indicated that eventually, there also might be other adjustments in rents.
