'FEAR .INABILITY : TO
HANDLE' LICENCE RUSH.
The • obtaining of nevi, :licence
plates•' • and operator permits is
generally delayed • by . a big nna .
jority, of motorists,. King Winter
still has this area firmly in his
grip which has encouraged,. and
almost enforced, .in some cases,
'putting it off. .
Locally, only about: one-third of
the' -normal number ofmarkers
had been obitained, at the end of
the week. With. the deadline only
a week away --March' 18th,' it is
feared that.. it may be practically
physically.' aznpossible to' handle
the .last minute. rush.
Licences 'must -.be issued in se-
quence and this prevents extra
help being added ; to ' assist in
'handling' those who put • it off
until the last minute. •
