Dr. Sparks spoke to the group of the conference projects, and the pastor gave his report which was accepted. The church membership is 274. The church this year paid 51,141.93 for benevolence budget and S3.112.92 for current expenses. Sunday school officers elected are: Superintendent, William R.

Dixon, 3109 Beale avenue, manager of the Dixon Truck Parts company, who has been working on plans for the promotion of permanent, auto license plates says that by using permanent plates the local police department could make an index file of all the license plates and the owners, as a source of ready information in case of accident. Mr. Dixon pointed out that such a list would lighten the burden of making a new list each year. In an explanation of the method worked out by him for using the permanent plates, Mr.

Dixon said that two plates more durably constructed, would be used on all vehicles. The department of revenue, further stated Mr. Dixon would supply two stamps similar to the present inspection sticker. The stamps, bearing the same numbers as the license plate, would then be placed in the car windows, one on the windshield and the other on the right rear window. An office serial number would be on each stamp to prevent counterfeiting.

A different serial number on a different colored stamp would then be issued at each date of expiration, Mr. Dixon said, but the license plate and number would remain the same.

Commercial vehicles, he said, would uso one stamp, and since dealers' plates are as a rule used only by official service stations, it would not Ik feasible to issue stamps with dealers plates.

Mr. Dixon said that a current license card could be issued for the year, to dealers, and carried by the person using the dealer plates on car or truck. Damaged plates could be replaced for a nominal sum by the department of revenue, continued Mr. Dixon, and the old plates turned in to the state police or sent to the department of revenue. Approximately 2.800,000 sets of license plates are issued for cars and trucks in the state each year, Mr.

Dixon said, and about 200,000 are dealer or trailer plates which could be issued as they are now. Mr. Dixon believes that the state could save the $1,300,000 a year it now spends for plates, labor, stationery, by issuing permanent license plates.
