Green Background For The 1918 Auto Plates.

Ed Jackson, secretary of state, has issued notices that the large increase in the number of automobile licenses now being issued by the office has made necessary a revision of the forms of the applications for owner’s license. For the year 1917 about 200,000 licenses will have been issued, and the change in form is made for the purpose of expediting the issuing of licenses, and ' making prompt deliveries during 1913. The statement said: “The 1918 Indiana automobile license plates will have a green background with black figures, making an attractiv eplate and easily to be seen and read. Heretofore, when the numerical numbers for license plates run to 100,000, alphabets were used to designate each 10,000 over 100j* 000. Hereafter, numerals only will be used, whieh will ay old considerable, confusion in the reading of license numbers.”
