88O PURCHASE
 lq55-56 LICENSES

By the first of the year ap- proxinaately 880 drivers lcen- ses had been purchased in the Palmer U. s. Commissioners office. Tn addition approxi- mately 50 trucks and 10 cars had been licensed.
 Tags for the 1855 year must be purchased and attached to the vehicle number plates be- fore February 28.
 It has been estimated that around 1000 persons in the valley area are eligible for drivers licenses. Although 1953-54 drivers licenses expir- ed on December 31, 1854, the figure of 880 would indicate that less than half the number have purchased a license. New licenses will be good for the years 1855 and 1856 and cost $400. Vehicle tags are good for one year only, and are sold at the same rate as in 1854.
