New Auto Tags For
1858 Are Expected

Around 1000 sets of auto license
plates for the 1889 year for
passenger automobiles are expected
to be received at the office of
Joseph H. WEIGH, county treasurer,
next week. They won't be on sale,
however, until sometime in March.
The tags will have white back
ground with blue letters. They will
be for both front and rear of the
automobile again this year. They
must be attached to automobiles
by April l, and may be attached
after March IS. The tags will OK
pire March 81. 1859
Garrett county tags have the
letters &C and numerals starting
with 3,501 and running to 9,458.
The letters have been the same for
the past three years. Previous to
that they we're GA and prior to
that we're GG.
License plates also may be OBJ
tanned by sending the applications
direct to the office of the Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles in Bal
timore Application blanks have
not yet been mailed to auto owners
from the commission office but
this will be done within the next
thirty days.
There will be a difference in
the cost of licenses this year and
the amount will depend upon
whether or not a car owner has
liability insurance. Licenses cost
ing SIS last year will cost either
SIC or S23, depending upon
whether the person has the LA
bility insurance, 81 extra if he does
and So extra if he does not. Those
normally paying S23 will pay $24
or $31, depending upon his in
Surance status.
Explanation Made
An explanation of the new rates
was made at a meeting yesterday
in Baltimore. Representing the
,county treasurer was II. D. SWartz.
entrubcr, president of the County
Commissioners.
Mr.. SWartzentruber pointed out
that the applicant will be com
PEELED to answer the question as
to whether or not he has liability
insurance and the responsibility
for a truthful answer rests with
the individual. He said there was
a fine of $1,000 for making a false
statement.
Mr.. SWartzcntruber also cx-
planned that the 81 additional for
those having insurance is for the
year 1858 only, and is not a con.
tinuing expense. Those having &C.
cidents will not be covered by
state insurance until 1859, he said
There will be a charge of Il
cents for handling the licenses
payable to the treasurer the same
as in previous years.
