Personal tax on automobiles explained by Attorney General
Opinions from Attorney General Fred H. Davis state that 1929 assessments were complete before new law. To obtain a vehicle tag the blanket personal tax must be paid, including autos. For second hand cars the previous owner’s tax status may be traced and collected if unpaid, new cars not on the roll can be added, penalties apply to 1929 assessments, and the new law is not fully executable until 1930.

The Florida board of architects revised the hotel construction code for the first time in years. The update eliminates outdated requirements and adds modern provisions. Commissioner Ben H. Bostain notes the department values results over rigid adherence and allows alternative methods when effective. Licensing payments have risen, with over half already paid ahead of the deadline, prompting extra staff to handle the influx. The Forest Fair highlights seven years of turpentine conservation and French naval stores methods, endorsed by the State Chamber of Commerce.
