Every driver of a commercial car and every hired chauffeur must comply with this law by the first of July. Photograpers will have their hands full making pictures as only the size mentioned will be accepted and the applicant must make affidavit that the photograph was taken within the last 30 days. Car owners must also pay the new license according to the motor power of car. For each 25 horsepower and under the fee is $5 a year, but only 6 months’ license Is granted at this time and the cost is prorated for the six months.
