TUESDAY MARKED DATE FOR THREE-QUARTER LICENSE Legislative Action Say June 4 Date of Issuance of Auo Partial Year Permit Motorists who have been debating whether to license their automibiles during the month of June and pay full year's fee therefore, or await the first of July and enjoy the bene fit of a half-year rate, will have their problem at least partially helped by an opinion of the attorney general, just rendered to Secretary of Stat Ho s, wherein It Is held that the new three-quarters license fee ia appli cable after the new laws go into ef fect on June 4th. The lant session of the legislature provided for a three-quarter fee to be paid after three months of the li cense year had elapsed, in addition to the present half year, and quarter year periods, bu it was not clear that the legislaure intended the law to be Active this year. All, indications point to the likelihood that the law makers expected to have this new ar rangement go Into effect along with the new mid-year licenw; date on July 1st, 1930, but the effect of the proceedings bus been t let the bars down for those who seek license; now, In commenting on the opinion of j the attorney general, Secretary of Slate Hour said: "Thia conduction will serve to aid a great number of people who need to license their cars Just prior to the date of the half year fee. During 1928 our automo bile department registered nearly three thousands car. , which shows that a great many persons cannot wait to trke advantage of the cheaper rates. This year, after the new ir.w becomes effeclve June 4th, persons applying for a license nerd only to remit three-fourth of the regular annual licence. For example, if the regular license i, $40.00, the three fourths fee required during June will "mount to $.10.00. Next year, tho advantage of this reduced rate will apply earlier in the license year. I regret that this Information could not have been gotten to the public earlier, but the matter only recently came up for consideration and the opinion of the attorney general was nromptly secured to ascertain the farts In the case."
