Emmerson. The automobile law provides that the license fee for automobiles purchased after July 1 shall be only fifty per cent of the fee for the entire year. In the past, some owners have attempted to take advantage of this law Hy not sending in their applications until after this period although the ownership of the cars dated back for a month or more. "There always is a great flood of ap- plications just after the first of July," Secretary Emmerson said this week. "This is suspicious. It isn't likely that such an enormous business is done by dealers at this particular period. Investigators Make Check "Last year we made good use of the automobile investigators to check up on these applications and we found that an overwhelming majority of them should have been in before July 1 and that the owners had been violating the law by operating their cars without license in the hope of saving half of the fee. "Inspectors are now out covering the State rounding up every automobile that is operating without a license or with last year's license plates.

Provides Road Fund "All of the money collected in auto- mobile fees goes into the building of hard roads. 1 think any owner of an automobile ought to be interested enough in hard roads to pay his fee promptly. The man who doesn't is a shirker. He wants to use the roads and avoid pay- ing his share toward their construction and upkeep.
