425,000 LICENSE PLATES.

An order for 425,000 auto license plates for 1921 has been placed with the state prison by the state automobile department. This year the department expects that 350,000 will be sufficient. The 1921 plates will show black numerals on a salmon-colored background. They will be the same as the 1920 plates except for the change in color. Conors now are green numerals on a buff background. The state prison last year got the contract for supplying the state with plates for two years. Heretofore the contract had been let for a year at a time.
