Cash in Bundles—Clerks at the State Treasury are working over time to receive the bundles of cash, money' orders and certified checks which are coming in daily for auto mobile licenses for 1917.

Auto Receipts Go Above All Records "Becelpts for 1918 motor vehicle registration and licenses already amount to more than four times the total revenue derived from these, sources during the entire year of 1907," according to a statement is sued by the State Highway Depart ment. /'The automobile division of the State Highway Department, to date, has received $269,548 for 1918 reg istrations and licenses; during thf year 1907 these receipts amounted to $59,604.91," 'says the statement. "That the State Highway Depart ment is determined to enforce the automobile law individuals using 1917 tags on January 1, seems to be understood geaerally, as ap plications are coming in dally }n in creasing numbers. "J. Denny O'Neil, State Highway Commissioner, ljas already announc ed that there will be no extension of the use of 1917 tags, as they are be ing received from the manufacturers in quantities large enough to ensure prompt filling of all applications, so that tardy applicants for proper reg istration cards and licenses need ex pect no leniency. "The statement also directs atten tion to the fact that, under the law, no municipality, city, or borough, has the right to extend to car owners and to operators the privilege of using old tags or to operate motor vehicles on January 1, without tags.
