M’CRAY GETS LICENS NUMBER 1

Distribution of the IWI licenses for automobiles will begin at the state house, December 27th, after the Christmas mail rush is qver. The new plates are salmon colored with black numerals. Many applications are on file. \ Number One will go io Warren T. McCray in accordance with a custom that the governor shall have the first plate. Requests for special numbers pester the officials in charge of the division but with the exception of fewer than a dozen special requests established by a number of years’* custom the plates are issued in order of the application. More than 300,000 sets of license plates were issued for the year.
