He was born May 8, 1886 at Brigham Cily, a son of James and Christina Petersen Hansen and was reared and educated in Box Elder county schools. He attended the Utah State Agricultural college at Logan, and spent most of his life engaged in farming in and around Brigham City. Ho was an active member of the L D. S church. Survivors include the following brothers and sisters: Isaac M. Hansen and Mrs. Matie Cornia, both of Brigham City; Amelia Flygar, Ogden; Hyrum J. Hansen, Long Beach, California; Mrs. Lillie Hansen, Tacoma, Freda Rampton, Washington; Bountiful; David M. Hansen, Miss Hilda Hansen, and Mrs. Lona Petersen all of Salt Lake City. Funeral services were held Monday, February 23, in the Brigham Cily Fifth ward chapel, with Bishop Oloon Palmer officiating. Interment was made in the Brigham Cily cemetery under the direction of the Harold B. Felt funeral home. "Any person in Box Elder county who does not have his automobile or pick up truck license plates had better hurry, was the warning issued Tuesday by Finest Hansen, county asses-- ' sor. "Only during the few days a in ing: in this week can we ;ssn,, the plates from this office. After Saturday, persons must either stop driving their cars or secure their license plates direct from the state tax commission," he further advised. In commenting on the sale of license plates, Hansen noted that to dale, the sales this year are lagging far behind those of the similar period last year. Many people think that only on Tuesdays can we issue the plates and collect auto taxes. We can and will issue plates and collect taxes all day every day during the remaining four days this week. To avoid a last minute rush, may I suggest to all who have not yet purchased their plates and paid their taxes to come in early, the assessor continued. Owners of large trucks may secure their license plates and pay heir taxes on Tuesdays to the I slate tax commission deputies. Also, persons who must negotiate a transfer of title, either from one person to another, or from must transact their business with the state tax commission deputies on Tuesdays. "Many persons also do not understand that before they can purchase their license plates, they must pay their assessment t:?Xes, Hansen added. "The only place to do so in Box Elder county is in my office in the court house. It is possible to buy the plates in another city, but before any officer can sell them, you must have your receipt for taxf es paid this year.
