Newbry Plans To Renew Plea for Use of Uniform License Plates Salem XUJ9 A strong plea ; for agreement on a uniform li cense plate for all states will be made by Oregon Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry at a con ference of the American Associa tion of Motor Vehicle Adminis trators at Richmond, Va., in Oc tober. This will be the second time that Newbry has urged the sev eral states to get together on a uniform plate as a means of sav ing public funds. Proposal Has Support Recent approval of a 36 per cent increase in parcel post rates effective Oct 1 will lend sup port to the proposal, Newbry said. Automobile manufacturers have assured the states that once a uniform plate is adopted motor vehicles will be manu factured with provision made for a permanent and protected li cense plate holder. Newbry said such a receptacle for' license plates would result in saving hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in plate material. The necessity of replacing li cense plates either annually or, as in Oregon, every five years, calls for a considerable expendi ture. The 1953 Oregon Legisla ture, anticipating the remanu facture of license plates in 1995, appropriated $425,000 for this purpose. Newbry said if the state did not have to spend such large quantities on new plates, this money could be spent on the highways. Two Weights Usad At present two weights of li cense plates are distributed in Oregon. The lighter is mailed for eight cents a pair. The heav ier requires a parcel post rate of 17 cents.

This could increase the postage in secretary of state's office by some $1800 a year. To Seek Lighter Plates Newbry. has directed a study to be made to see if the heavier plate in Oregon can be reduced by one or two ounces to cushion the postage increase. The Oregon Legislature in 1945 placed dis cretion for the size and ahape of the license plates with the secre tary of state, so Oregon is in a position immediately to adopt a uniform plate should other states be willing to give up the present odd sizes, slogans and illustrations.
