License Required To Sell Auto Parts In Indiana

A new Indiana law requiring auto part and used car dealers to obtain state licenses takes effect July 1 1935. Fees are 2.50 for the rest of 1935 and 5 annually thereafter. Dealers must keep daily purchase records and buyer details, with inspections by police. Enforcement falls to state police superintendent Donald Stiver. Todd Stoops of Hoosier Motor Club says the measure curbs theft by hindering sale of stolen parts. Illinois experience cited shows auto theft insurance rates falling 50 percent in Chicago. Administration shifted to Gross Tax Division for cost reasons under Governor McNutt.
