AUTO TITLE FEE UPON INDIVIDUALS Dealers Protest and K.-vape Kxlra Charges Provide.! For In lleeeiit Amendment.

The purchaser must pay for two titles, from lii'i and 107, the lee being •">" cents each. Thu# automobile dealers through out the state are relieved of a "ill cent fee on each new sale, a tax which they protested vigorously. Purchasers of new cars, howevei, who now pay the additional halt dollar, are wondering why it is that they have to pay twice for what in the long run, they say amounts tu the same registered title to owner ship. The new automobile laws, as pass ed by the legislature, provide for placing the first link of the chain of registered ownerships for each car on the dealer, rather than on the first individual owner. The amendment requires that the registration fee of .">ti cents be paid to take care of the additional regis tration. The fee Was lirst placed ' upon the dealers. They protested.
