City saves money by keeping old license tags on police and city vehicles
Police announce a cost saving plan to retain 1960 yellow and blue license tags on city and state cars through 1961, with replacements identical in color when worn. Expired plates on moving vehicles will be impounded, parked cars incur a $3 ticket, and bills note no revenue for plates issued to subdivisions. Clifford W. Ayres, Ohio registrar of motor vehicles, confirms the policy.
