Manitoba to Issue Insert Tags for Cars in 1949

The tags attach to the 1948 license and remain valid through 1948 with no fee change. The plan is part of a long-term program toward permanent plates by 1950, using stronger metal and fluorescent numerals, lasting five to ten years. If metal tags for next year are unavailable, paper transfers will be issued.
