Drivers’ Licenses
Increased to $1.50
Persons Holding drivers' licenses
which expire June 30 of this year
will not be required to take any
examination when they renew the
licenses, it was announced today
by Earl Snell, secretary of state.
Examinations
are
required,
however, for those persons who
were not licensed during the 1939-
1941 period and for persons 70
years of age or older.
Drivers' licenses for the 1941-
1943 period will cost >1.50 this
year, Instead of one dollar, due to
creation of a motor vehicle acci­
dent fund by the 1941 legislative
assembly, it was explained.
This fund is for payment of
hospitalization costs of indigent
persons injured in automobile ac­
cidents, cared for in hospitals
which are then unable to collect
from the patients. The fund will
be administered by the state in­
dustrial accident ommission and
hospitals must be registered with
the commission and follow a sche­
dule of charges set up by the
commission.
There will be approximately
>250,000 available for this fund
during the coming two-year per-
tod as there will be at least 500,-
000 drivers licensed during that
time, Snell said.
