Show LICENSE PLATES FOR AUTOS ARE NOW ON SALE Central Utah motorists may obtain ob-tain 194S license plates in the Provo office of the state tax commission, com-mission, according to Clifford W. Beardall, Provo branch manager. Anticipating a greater demand this year than last, his office has an initial supply of 16,000 sets of passenger car plates, 5000 truck and 200 motorcycle. Last year, the state tax commission sent the Provo office an initial allotment of 15.000 passenger plates. Mr. Beardall pointed out that a tax receipt for the vehicle is necessary before the plates may be secured. Motorists may pay taxes on their car, or have it assigned as-signed to their real property tax bill, at the office of County Assessor As-sessor J. Austin Cope Jr. beginning begin-ning Monday morning. The Provo tax commission branch is located in room 102 on the lower floor of the city and county building. Office hours are 9 to 5 on Monday through Friday, and 9 to 1 on Saturday. Passenger plates cost the same this year as last $5 and truck plates vary with the weight of the trucks. Checks will not be accepted unless certified. Postal money orders payable to the tax commission are acceptable. Truck owners must have an affidavit af-fidavit certifying the truck's weight, signed by the registered owner of the truck, before obtaining obtain-ing plates. Affidavit blanks may be secured at the tax commission office. Motorists cannot legally use 1947 plates beyond midnight of February 28. New 1948 plates are black with white lettering, carrying the slogan, slo-gan, "Utah, The Friendly State." The Provo tax commission branch issued a total of about 16,000 passenger plates and 5000 truck in 1947. |
