Ante Licenses Hot Te Bs Extended
With the 1922 automobile licenses being issued by the State
Highway Department there bas
beeu discussed the question of continuing tbe*1921 licenses for fifteen days after the end of the
present year and many seem to
think it will uot be done.
It is pointed out that witb the
licenses ready two months ahead
of the expiration of tbe old tags,
the highway department may
eliminate the days of grace after
tbe new year. Heretofore the demand for licenses has been so
great that the department allowed
the old ones to be used from fifteen to forty five days after tbeir
expiration.
That was because 'the department could not handle tbe rush,
but now, it is said, sufficient tags
are on band to supply the demand
and many espect a .shut-down on
the 1921 tags when the new year
arrives.
—The season for the killing of
all kinds ot small game, with tbe
exception of rabbits, closed yes ter
