R. Hodgman. assistant secretary of state ha<s announced. w According to Hodgman, all of the numerous details relative to collection of the new truck fees have been ironed out and the license distributing centers of the Secretary of State in Chicago and Springfield are now prepared to process new applications as rapidly as received. Hodgeman also stated that within Jhe next few days the more than 375,000 truck operators in Illinois will have received a letter and a schedule of the new fees calling their attention to the balance now owing. The new truck license plates, featuring' a yellow background w i t h b l a c k n u m e r a l s , w e r e placed on sale Aug. 4. Since that time approximately 75,000 operators have obtained the new plates. Hodgman estimated that with the cooperation of the remaining 300,000 operators in using the Chicago and Springfield distribution centers, the new plates could be distributed by the office of the Secrtary of State within a period of thirty working days. According to Hodgman, approximately 70 percent of those operators who have applied for licenses under the new fee schedule paid the balance owing under protest.. As an example he cited one of the largest opera tors of trucks in Illinois who, or Aug. 18, paid $96,000 in fees under protest. Payment of the new truck fees under protest forces the state treasurer to escrow such funds in a special account rather than depositing them in the general revenue funds of the state. It also makes possible reimbursement to such truck operators in the event that the U.S Supreme Court holds the . new act unconstitutional. If the new fees are not paid under protest, and the act is subsequently de clared unconstitutional, trucl; operators who failed to pay the fee under protest will be unable to obtain re-lmbursement without a special act of the General Assembly.
