Inspectors for the state auto mobile department and peace of ficers generally thought the state itave been Informed of the ruling aaade by Mr. Kozer and are re jue.Htnd to allow auto owners who umaxe applied for licenses to oper ate their cars until the new licenses lkave been distributed. Notwithstanding the department twver two months and a half ago motor vehicle owners for their con venience in applying early for 1821 sent out application blanks to all Heenses, only 49,000 applications tuivi- thus far been received in the fflce for 1921 licenses for the 3.790 cars which were registered daring the year 1920. Not until some ten days ago aia -lie number of applications re ,..in eonal the dally capacity of Mae department, consequently, by anon of substantially 2U,uoo ap Icatlons being received within the ten dnys, a congestion now ex anl It will be possibly the mid nt .Tunimrv before licenses can turned and forwarded on all ap- XfUcntlons which will be received up to that time. To date, 35,000 ... inses have been placed in the II and 2,500 were delivered over flfce counter, so that It leaven iih aaabstantially 12,000 applications ttor which to Issue licenses, with fDaose which will be received dur iK the next few days.

McClalne for the paat three years, went in the hands of the receiver last evening, having voluntarily assigned the stock over to C. W. Irvine, president of the Farmers State bank of this ctly, for the benefit of the creditors. The total assets and liabilities are not definitely known at this time, but the receiver believes that the credi tors will receive nearly 100 cents on tho dollar. The Ace Oarage handled the Ford agency in thla city and the assignment came as a great sur prise to many; people In Independ ence. The business will be con tinued under the same name, with Albert Plant, former secretary of the company; as general manager. It Is said that the Farmers State bank and William Dawes of Inde pendence are the heaviest creditors. The company's assets are supposed to be somewhere In the neighbor hood of 130.000 and it is believed that the assets, when ail outstand ing accounta are collected, will amount to more than that amount, leaving a surplus of perhaps J2000 or 3000 for Mr. McClalne after the creditors are all satisfied. Suit was instituted several days ago against the Ace Oarage by the Standard Oil company to recover a small acocunt, and It is believed ihnl this is the starting point of the I company's failure.
