Show Driver Licenses Sold This Week In County Towns Utah county cities outside of Provo will have temporary field offices of the state tax commission commis-sion one day this week when Paul Holt and Grant Thurgood will sell automobile culvers' licenses in the various city halls of the cities. They will start in Lehi Monday and work southward through the county the office hours being from 9 a. m. until 4:30 p. m. Sheriff E. G. Durnell of the county and Police Chief Otto Birk of Provo concurred in the belief that the new licenses, which cost 25 cents for three years, are an excellent thing from the point of view of traffic control. , "The Utah Peace Officers association as-sociation has sponsored such a law for the past five years," Chief Birk, who is president of the organization, or-ganization, stated. "One of its best features will be that it gives a better line-up on the cars, provides an identification for the driver and aids in recovering stolen cars and preventing undesirable people from driving. The power of the tax commission to revoke a license on recommendation of peace officers, of-ficers, gives the law a power it has long desired." "The sheriffs' force will cooperate cooper-ate fully in enforcing the new law after January 1," Sheriff Durnell declared. "It is one of the greatest safety factors ever started in this state. It is a good plan to provide the people in the cities outside Provo to get the licenses next week." R. E. Hammond, state tax commissioner, com-missioner, visited the Provo field ofifee Saturday and conferred with Victor H. Snow and Paul Holt on license problems. "It will be necessary for parents or guardians to appear in person and sign the application when a minor between the ages of 18 and 1(5 applies," Mr. Hammond stated. "This must be done in the presence of a state tax commission officer or an authorized examiner. The rule applies only to minors over 1G years as no one below that age is allowed to drive a car under the law." |
