A. Stewart, Cache assessor, and Dewey Nielsen, manager of the local branch of the one-four- th state tax office. Mr. Stewart stated that tax clearances had been obtained at his office for only 1170 passenger cars, 107 light trucks and 69 large trucks a total of 1346. There arc approximately 6500 automobiles registered in the county. We urge motorists to obtain their plates as soon as possible to prevent a big rush at the end of February, said Mr. Stewart and Mr. Nielsen Such a policy is more and for convenient for the assessor's and tax offices." Deadline for securing plates is March 1. By that date, all cprs must have the 1942 tags displayed on them. Mr. Nielsen also stated that owners of all passenger automo- - biles or trucks may renew their motor vehicle licenses by presenting their 1941 registration certificates and tax releases to the state tax commission room In the county courthouse every day of the week, except Sunday. As a part of the nation's war effort, motorists are urgently requested to turn in their 1941 plates along with their 1942 applications. If there happens to be available any expired license plates from previous years, the owner will be performing a patriotic and welcome service if he will bring them to the county courthouse at the same time. Registration of new cars and the larger trucks as well as of trailwill be acers and complished, as in the past, through the main and district offices of the commission. Motorcycles, pubi.cly owned cars, school buses and heavy vehicles generally may, as always, be registered only at tho tax commissions main office in the state capitol and branch offices, semi-traile- .
