MOTOR RELICENSING

Preparations For LastMinute Rush Black numerals and border line on a ground of golden yellow constitute the colour scheme for the motor registration plates which must appear on all motor-vehicles on June 1, but not before that date. Separating the thousands from the hundreds in the figures will be seen a little symbol—an inverted equilateral triangle—a small feature not generally noticed by a motorist, but one of significence in the scheme of checking current licenses. Where there are three or fewer figures the symbol will appear before the number During tlie current year the symbol is a comma —it is changed every year. Although many wise motorists will complete relicensing some time before tlie final day, and avoid the necessity of queueing up to a counter with the last-minute applicants, the Post Office Motor Registration Branch is preparing for heavy work toward tlie end of May. At Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, as well as at other centres and some secondary towns, the branch is again endeavouring to ease the position by conducting the relieensing in temporary promises, where it is considered that the facilities in the post office building are not adequate for handling the hig volume of work involved.
