Plan to Put American Legion Posts in Charge of Auto Licenses
Ora J. Davies, former Indiana state treasurer, proposes a law transferring automobile license and driver license notarization and plate issuance to American Legion posts in each county. He argues the profits would stay in Indiana and benefit ex service men, with notary work handled by a veteran and payments aiding local posts and clubs. Separate notes report protests over abandoning the Union City division of Indiana Union Traction Company and a request to discontinue service from Muncie to Union City.
