Hughes announced that under the provisions (f a biH recently passed by the Legislature, any Illinois citisen who purchaaes a motor vehicle in another state is required by law to pay an investigatisa charge of twenty-five dollars in addition to the fifty cent certificate of title fee.

"If one of our citizens buys a ear in another state he should have previous knowledge that the Secretary of State is required by law to collect a twentyfive dollar fee." The only exception that the law permitto the Secretary of State te make in this instance is when an individual shows that he had the motor vehicle which he purchased registered in another state for at least ninety days before application for Illinois registration, or when an accident occurs out of state occasioning the purchase of a hew car. If the applicant, in this instance, forwards an affidavit from the dealer who sold him the car, and an affidavit of his own that the cost of repairing the old car would have cost one-third or m6re the price of the new vehicle, no twenty-five dollar charge will be made.
