D. 5, Salem," Oregon Since the present total of recis- J tered automobiles in Oregon is great er Dy one-third than in 1918, or ap proximately 6.000 now to about 63.000 last year, Sam A. Kozer. deputy secretary of state, finds It hard to account for a shortage in the number of motor vehicle own ers whj have not applied for their 1920 licenses as compared with thouse who at the corresponding time last year had applied for their 1919 licenses. So far, since applications began to be received in November, only 17. 500 motor .vehicle owners have ap plied for new licenses. This is a full 1000 short of the number at the corresponding time a year ago. , Mr. Kozer urges that the applica tions be hurried in to prevent con gestion later. He thinks the tardi ness is, partially due to the recent cold weather which has detracted from interest in automobiles.
