Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 January 1918 — State Is Out Of Auto License Tags. [ARTICLE]

State Is Out Of Auto License Tags.

The supply of auto license plates is exhausted, according to statements issued by the deputy secretary of state, Plint Wolfard. A supply of the plates is en route, but it is not known when they will reach the state capitol. Officers who enforce the auto license plate laws are asked to take consideration and “go easy” on persons who have been unable to get plates. T. Ernest Maholm, an Indianapolis justice of the peace, stated that if persons were arrested and hailed into his court on this violation and could show receipts they had paid their money for a license he would dismiss the charges against them immediately.
