This report came from Stacy IDobbs, in Nashville, who took over 'direction of the title division when jit was transferred from the safety department to the tax department ilast May 1.

Dobbs said the division still has a backlog of title applications which were received by the safety department before May 1 and that it is trying to catch up on these while keeping current on new applications. I The thorn-laden title law has had its troubles in the past, and the 1953 legislature sought to correct these by putting it under the tax department, increasing fees for title services and generally reor-ganizing the procedure.

The body of he act was broader than the cap o' i.

So the whole thing was re-enacted 5 in 1951 and turned up with more in bugs than could be found around 6. a street light. It took months to get a title. The title division began running a consistent deficit. A provision in the act all but canceled the effectiveness of Tennessee's re-; Iciprocal licensing agreements on trucks.

Banks, automomie dealers and car owners complained they jwere unable to get prompt service 'on titles and motor vehicle liens. County registers howled they had jbeen stripped of their income from i recording motor vehicle liens. I Hilton Butler, who was then the safety commissioner, told the 1953 legislature it should either rewrite the law to make it workable or repeal it. A special house committee which investigated came to Ithe same conclusion. The law was rewritten and administration of it transferred to tha tax department, which han- 'dles the licensing of motor ve hicles.

Whelchel said about three weeks is-the normal time in other sta'es for the issuance of titles after the bia are title states. The fastest state on handlinz titles is Vir- ginia. and there.
