Finance Firms Denied
Car Dealers Taos

The Commissioners have or
dered amendment of the vehicle
title and registration regulation to
prohibit issuance of automobile
dealers tags to finance companies
and junk dealers.
The city heads acted in accord
ance with an opinion of the cor
poration counsel in March holding
that finance companies should be
required to get a license for every
business carried on by them for
which a license is required.
Dealers tags may be sold to
licensed automobile dealers at a
rate of three for $25 and the tags
may be switched to any number of
automobiles.
Finance companies had con-
tended they needed dealers tags to
repossess automobiles, to transfer
repossessed cars for inspection
and to demonstrate them for sale
Today's action means a COM
pany would have to prove it ac-
tually deals in automobiles in Or
der to obtain the $50 year
license.
Companies not licensed are re-
quired to buy a new tag for each
car they repossess in order to
drive it, since the tags on the car
at the time Of repossession become
dead.
Dealers tags In the past have
been used for repossession. al
though as a matter of practice the
traffic division has refused to sell
them to other than automobile
dealers.

NOBODY KNOWS

It is not only unwise but it shows poor
taste also for residents of city to brag
about it's security from attacks by Nature
can tell where she will strike next.
However, it is not amiss to say, in a
spnirit of thankfulness,, that one locality is
| favored over another, so far as the savage
ness of Nature is concerned.
That reminds The Citizen of an edi-
torial paragraph that was published in a
New York paper shortly after the 1896
hurricane struck Miami and did much
damage and caused the loss of many lives.
The paragraph read:
Tourists, take your choice: hurri-
canes in Florida or earthquakes in Cali
fornia."
The Citizen assumes that at least 900
out of 1000 persons would rather reside
in a hurricane area than in that locality
that is likely to be struck by an earth
quake at any instant. Hurricanes are terri
BILE in their intensity, but people generally
prefer to have solid ground on which to
stand. Nothing can strike as much terror
III a pcISOiI dS SiOuHU LIidJ Is TcCccuiiiB uii-
der his feet.
Consider the earthquake that struck
Ecuador last Friday, entailing $40 mil
lion loss in property and the loss of an
undetermined number of lives, roughly
ranging from 1900 to 1000. Key West,
for instance, is in the hurricane area. So
far as The Citizen has been able to learn
from oldtimers, only three or four persons
have been killed in Key West by hurri-
canes. That estimate does not include the
loss of life, if any, before the establish
ment of the Weather Bureau here in 1870.
Before that time, weather reports were is
sued by the Army Signal Corps.
A Weather Bureau observer in Key
West in 1870 gives an interesting account
of hurricane that struck the city in that
year, but he says nothing about the loss of
life. Highest wind reported was so miles
an hour. Incidentally, that was the only
hurricane, in the history of the Weather
Bureau, whose center passed over Key
West.
Finally, you have as long as two to
four days to prepare for the coming of a
hurricane, but nobody knows when the
ground will begin to shake and sometimes
open under your feet.
