There may be any legal restriction whereby members

If neither is done certainly highly recommend their

Treasurer Issues
1886 Auto Tags

County Treasurer Joseph H..
WEIGHS office seemed buster than
usual this week, distributing auto
mobile license plates, but actually
he wasn't one bit buster than last
year
When he checked on the records
yesterday morning he discovered
that he had issued exactly the
number of license plates that he
had issued at the same date last
year. The number was 1856 The
numbers this year started at 3,501
and the last number he issued
Tuesday evening was 6S57. Last
year the numbers started at 2,50l
and up to the same date he had
issued 1857.
His biggest day was on March
81 when 387 were issued. Tuesday,
April l. he issued 1O5.
The flow of licenses has been
rather steady, Mr.. Welch saying
that only twice during the issuing
period was there any waiting in
line.
An incorrect statement appear
ing in the Cumberland daiIics on
Monday caused innumcrablc tcle-
phone calls to his office. The news
papers had declared incorrectly
that after March 81 tags would
have to be purchased through the
office of the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles. This misstatcmcnt
was corrected the following day
The county trcasurer's office will
retain tags the year around. Mr.
Welch pointed out that his office
did not handle licenses for boat
trailcrS, tractors, trailcrs or COM
mcrcial hire. But his office does
handle licenses for privately owned
trucks and farm trucks. Tags arc
already here for these trucks and
applications were scheduled to be
mailed this week. lie said the same
insurance regulations apply to
trucks and farm trucks as applied
to regular licenses.
