DEPARTMENT FIELD OFFICES
The convenience of getting
motor vehicle licenses and plates
at the 17 field offices of the de
partment of the secretary of state
in the major counties and the
saving of time and expense in
volved has impressed other de
partments of state.
The state welfare department
is cogitating the idea of having
branch offices in major counties
throughout the state.
The public utilities department
may utilize the field offices of
the motor vehicle deprtment to
license trucks. As it is, commer
cial truckers have to get plates
from both the FLC and the sec
retary of state. The FUC could
enjoy the same economies and
give the same conveniences to
truckers.

popular with the driving public,
is willing to cooperate with PUC.
The saving made by the field
offices is 14 cents a plate for
mailing alone. With an estimat

and more than half the licenses
cleared through them, the sav
