ELECT OFFICERS FOR 1936 MOTOR LICENSE TIME IS EXTENDED TO JAN. 25th The Ontario Government has ex- 3 tended the time limit for purchase of 1936 license plates for both com- mercial and `passenger vehicles. The Minister of Highw::._vs states that passeng'~e-r car permits and drivers licenses would be valid until Jan. 15th, an exrtension of two weeks from the former time limit of Dec. 31st. Commercial vehicles get a somewhat greater extension in time as the 1935 markers will be valid until the last day of February. The reason for the longer time on com- mercial cars, `trucks and trailers is that the Government believes that many of the truckers depend upon. ` continuous operation for their liveli- hood.
