New Plan for Issuing Auto Registrations in 1933
Registration blanks for 1933 autos go to Tax Collector Donald D. Young rather than owners. After excise tax is paid, registrations and operator licenses are sent to Augusta for plates. Some owners who reserve low numbers receive blanks personally from the Secretary of State. The plan saves postage and reduces yearly costs. Began Sept 1 with reduced rates on excise tax and registration fees. Few Bath owners have paid 1933 excise tax, mostly those reserving numbers. More second hand cars than new ones noted.
