Switching Auto Numbers Banned in County Case
Karl B. Cone was fined ten dollars and costs in municipal court for operating a vehicle with license numbers not properly designated. State agent J. C. Ford and county attorney E. J. Wenner prosecuted after Cone used numbers from a Liberty car on a different make, held up trip to California, and to be issued new plates in Des Moines. The incident sparked jokes with bailiff John Sweitzer, as authorities press a broader crackdown on delinquent car licenses and unpaid state taxes across Black Hawk County.
