Very little attention seems to be paid by numerous people to the automobile license law, and cars are frequently seen in Rensselaer bearing no license plates whatever, while others are seen bearing dealers’ licenses when not entitled to same, and touring cars and runabouts bear truck licenses, and vice versa. No attention whatever is paid to the law requiring licenses for trailers. All this is unfair to the man who obeys the law and pays his money for the ■proper licenses. The prosecuting aL torney could reap a harvest by pub ting in a few days in Rensselaer. Perhaps, though, it is no worse here than in many other places, yet thus permitting by inaction these open and flagrant violations of the law is an injustice to the man who conh plies with its provisions.
