Expect Late Rush
Of Auto Tag Buyers
As Deadline Looms
New Tags Must Be On
Cars By Midnight,
Sunday, March 81

Auto license sales were still moving
slowly this week as the Saturday mid
night deadline drew near, deputy
registrar Clayton Bixel, said.
The w series has been totally
exhausted and purchasers had moved
into the 40Os in the ZB series Mon
day but over 800 licenses remained
on sale at the local agency.
Tags have been on sale since March
1. Closing date for sales is March
81 and the tags must be installed by
midnight March 81
A heavy rush of late buyers is ex-
pected for this weekend and a full
staff of clerks will be on hand to
handle the last minute purchasers.
Most license tag sales this year have
been on weekends as long slack per-
iods have been noted on all weekdays.
Automobile and trailer licenses are
on sale at the Bluffton agency this
year but purchasers of truck licenses
must go to Lima or Findlay for their
tags. 1t is not yet certain whether
license sales will pass the record
high in local sales set last year
This is the first time Bixel has
handled Bluffton license plate sales
since the late dos when Ohio had its
last Republican governor, Thomas
Herbert. He was re-appointed to that
office by the new governor, Republic
an William O'Neill.
