Beardall, manager of the State Tax commission office, which is located at the city and county building, room 201. Before they may obtain licenses, Mr. Beardall points out, the motorists motor-ists either pay their 1942 taxes on their vehicles or furnish the county coun-ty assessor with assurance, as is required by law, that the tax will be paid. Motorists are urged, as a part of the nation's emergency defense campaign, to turn in their 1941 license li-cense plates when they receive those for 1942. - The new plates will be honored, as has long been the custom, after December 15 of this year. The 1941 plates, however, are good until February 28 except in the case of motor vehicle dealers, whose license li-cense to do business begins and ends with the calendar year. The 1942 Utah plates will be white, with black letters and numbers. num-bers. Those issued at the Provo office of the tax commission will have the prefix letters "S" and "T". About 14,000 passenger car plates alone, in addition to those for trucks, trailers, commercial vehicles ve-hicles and motorcycles, have been assigned to the Provo office. The 1942 plates will have to do service for 1943 as well, but before be-fore that may be accomplished, the motorist, in 1943, will have to pay his license -fee that year and will receive instead of a new plate a metal tab to fasten to the 1942 plate. This is the method adopted by the tax commission with the cooperation co-operation of the motorist for saving sav-ing for defense purposes steel that otherwise would be required for the the motor vehicle license plates. |
