1 will bear the number prefix of 17 instead of the familiar UA, UB and UC letter prefixes. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced Friday the change in tne auto license plate number policy. Other nearby counties and their number prefixes include: Allen, osciusko. 43: LaGranee. 44: Noble, 57; Steuben, 76; and Whitley, 92.

Commissioner Allen Nutting of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in. Indianapolis reports the $8 licenses will carry the county numerical prefix followed by up to four digits. The $12 licenses will carry the county prefix followed by five digits. The $8 fee will apply only to vehicles with less than 25 horsepower. All others will have a $12 tag.

Commissioner Nutting said the alphabetical prefixes will be discontinued because a new two-price schedule of passenger vehicle registration fees at $8 and $12 will go into effect next Jan. 1. The county prefixes will run from 1 for Adams County to 92 for Whitley County. Lake County's normal numeral designation is 45, but it will use 95 in addition. Marion County's regular prefix will be 49 but due to the large number of vehicles-in the state's most populous county the prefixes 93 and 94 also will be used.

The 1963 plates will bear no slogan. They will be gold numbers on blue background. Nutting said another change to be made in the 1963 license setup wil be the addition of an affidavit to the application form. The affidavit will require the purchaser to state that he has paid his property taxes for the vehicle for which he is obtaining the plates. "We feel the person who purchases the plates should have this responsibility, not the branch, people," Nutting explained.

"The way it is now, a person working in the branch could be fined $500 and go to jail for selling a plate to someone who hasn't paid his property taxes," he said.
