Seven clerks were employed at the counters, but from to-day nine will be available for duty, as the whole of the plates are to be issued by May 14th.

A new licenso for a car costs £2 12s 6d. and'for a motor-cycle 12s 6d. With a view of impressing on them the necessity of exercising care at railway level crossings motorists when being issued with their new number-plates were also given a picture showing a motor-car which has just been struck by a locomotive, and its inmates thrown out. while another car is 6hown beside the line having been pulled up in time to avoid* being 6truck by the engine. The picture, which may be hung up in a garage or attached to a car, contains the warning: "Stop! Look out for the engine."
