'l'llis ruling was made by Commis
sioner L. S. Sadler to-day as the re
sult of some complaints made to him
about the form of the applications
and the change will save consider
able inconvenience and duplication
of notarial fees.
In a statement issued at the de
partment it is said: "The Automo
bile Division of the State Highway
Department to-day announced that
it is not necessary for the owner of
an automobile who intends to drive
his machine himself to make two
affidavits, only one is necessary. It
is suggested that the notary till in
the space on the face of the applica
tion. The owner must sign on both
sides. If, however, the notary should
fill in the space on the reverse side
of the application instead of on the
face the application will be accepted.
Only one affidavit is needed and auto
mobile owners applying for a license
to operate their own vehicles should
pay the notary only one fee for an
aflidavit."
