News in Brief.
Motor Number Plates. In reply to a request from the Farmers’ Union that the present system of changing number plates of motor vehicles annually be abolished, the Transport Department states that it considers that the numberplate system is the most effective so iar devised for ensuring that the annual taxation on a motor-vehicle has been paid. The annual number plate and license fee is now an integral part of the scheme of compulsory insurance under the Motor Vehicles Insurance (Third Party Risks) Act, and the latter fact alone would justify a retention of this system, owing to the cheap method which it provides—2s 6d annually of ensuring that the third-party risk premium has been paid. The Police Department is also very strongly in favour of the system, owing to the facility which it pro vides for the ready tracing of the owner of any motor-car. The annual change of the number plates ensures that the registering of cars and owners is reasonably well up to date.
