BE WHITE ON SLUE Blue license plaites lettered t in white have been selected for automobiles for the year 1926. Contract for the manufacturing of the plates has been let by Secretary of State, Louis L. Emmerson, at 13.4 cents per pair and this is believed to be among the lowest price for plates in the United States. The contracts for these plates, which will number 1,165,000, was awarded to the C. H. Hanson company of Chicago. The plates enclosed in patented envelopes will be delivered to the State House in Springfield free of charge to the State and will be ready for distribution on January 1, 1926. In addition to the plates, contracts have also been let to the Brady company of Peoria for 100,000 badges for chauffeurs. Secretary Emmerson believes this estimate will be insufficient to care for the demands in 1926, and the contracts Specify that if more plates are needed they will be furnished at the same figure. Statistics compile from the records of the Automobile Department show that during the year 1925, to date 1„031,190 pleasure cars have been licensed. In addition 4,382 dealers, 6,44flT motorcycles, and 146,114 track licenses have been issued making a total registration of 1,171,086.
