Ray Hodge, office manager of the Hills Flat office of the department of motor vehicles, said this morning his staff is ready for the task. Registration expires by law at midnight tomorrow, but because of intervening holidays renewal will not begin until Tuesday. ‘The department expects record ‘breaking crowds of renewal applicants. Hodge urges every motorist to pay their fees in person. instead of by mail and»to use the potential registration card for ‘1950 The majority of potential registration cards are in the mail but because of year-end transactions . some will be received early in the new year. . . Those who do not receive their ‘potential registration cards by Jan. 15 should use .their 1949 _ registration cards (white’slips) in making application, Ray Hodge said: They will. feceive their 1950 aluminum and red license tabs immediately and their 1950 registration cards (white slips) will "be mailed to them. Motorists who use their 1950 potential registration cards to renew will receive license tabs and 1950 registration cards (white slips) immediately provided they apply in person. When presented at any motor vehicle’ license issuing agency with the fee payment indicated on the ,face, the top copy will be validated and returned to the applicant with his tabs. The validated copy constitutes. the 1950 registration scard (white slip) which is to be displayed in the driving compartment of the vehicle. The duplicate copy of the potential registration card is retained by the ‘issuing agency for departmental -records. Motorists should preserve their potential registration cards carefully until they are presented. The two-part form should not. be ‘separated. Upon receipt, they should be examined carefully:: If the vehicle described on the: face has been sold by the recipient, the ‘potential registration card must not be used for renewal purposes. It should be destroyed to avoid confusion. These instances of receiving a potential for a vehicle no longer owned result from failure to notify the department of motor vehicles of the sale as provided by law. In cases where an applicant has not received a potential registration card and does not possess a 1949 registration cara (white slip) he should personally present his certificate of ownership (pink slip) and make application for tion card. Lacking an ownership certfiicate, a bill of sale, receipt or other evidence of ownership should be presented. Applicants who have changed address from that shown on the face of the potential registration card ‘Or other. document used as an application for renewal may make the proper notation of the new address in the space provided on the form, or inform the clerk of the change. Where a change of legal ownvership is to bé made in connection with a renewal, the certifi«cate of ownership (pink slip) is to be presented with the renewal application. A fee of $1 is charged for this transaction, or $2 if the application for a change of legal owner was not made within 40 days after the transaction was consummated. Owners who have not registered their vehicles previously in California should obtain information immediately from any issuing agency concerning procedure. These motorist should bring their vehicles and non-resident title documents in order the necessary examinations can be made well in advance of the renewal’ rush. * Although the department of motor vehicles mailed renewals in view of faster service to the public through personal application, many will apply in this manner. In cases where mailed application is made on a potential registration card, there will be some delay in receiving a validated 1950 registration card (white slip) and tabs. More time is required if application is made on a 1949 registration card (white slip) and if possible mail application should not be used. In applying for renewal by mail, fee payments should be made by money order, cashier’s check or certified check. The department’s experience on personal checks has been poor and their use is discouraged. Any personal check submitted in the 1950 renewal will result in at least a 30-day delay while the check clears for payment. . COURTHOUSE FURNACE EXPLODES FRIDAY NIGHT Accumulation of gas in furnace caused an explosion that rocked the Nevada county court-. house Friday evening shattering glass in the furnace room door and blowing off the iron doors otf the furnace.

YOUNGSTERS REMOVE THEFT EVIDENCE FROM ‘SHERIFF PARKING LOT From practically under the “nose” of the Nevada county sheriff’s office, five high school youngsters removed impounded evidence from the sheriff’s office parking lot: near the courthouse, hauled it to t Yuba river and tossed it in. The foolish youths are facing possible charges of destroying evidence and obstructing justice, according to Undersheriff Otis R. Hardt. undersheriff, consisted of a tractor storage battery, grease guns, chain tighteners, and logging ‘paraphernalia, and were impounded with a truck owned by Vernon Jackson, Glenbrook, who as arraigned Tuesday, in Grass Valley justice court onl a grand theft charge. Hardt apprehended the youths and accompaniegd them to the river location where :they had been secreted and after. a fourhour “fishing” expedition with grappling hooks recovered part of the evidence. Jackson is free on $500 bail following his arraignment on a grand theft complaint signed by Americo Bastiani, logging equipment operator of Nevada City. Preliminary hearing will be at 10 a.m., Tuesday in justice court. A neat bit of police work by the sheriff's staff resulted in the apprehension of Jackson and is a part of the payoff of recent modernization of the sheriff’s. office. Hardt had been called to the Banner mountain property of Bastiani. Hardt radioed a description of the equipment and Jackson’s truck and _ Sheriff Richard W. Hoskins, by means of the modern communications, a duplicate registra-, . arrested Jackson near the Brunswick mine road. pow. ‘Sheriff Hoskins said» he was amazed that the youths who attempted to destroy the evidence of the theft’ would attempt to get by with theft so close to the sheriff’s office.

PROTESTING SUBSTITUTE AT POOR LOUIE’S HOME WESTERN UNION OFFICE (continued from page 1) required to, be in Washington, D.C., not later than Thursday, Jan. 12. I. C. Bell, vice president of the local Chamber of Commerce, declared the organization is not satisfied with the type of service now. being rendered and could not consider substitute service as adequate to this community. A letter from Western Union said.the company could provide improved service under the substitute system. The letter added “if we do not take steps to at least reduce our unprofitable operations to a minimum, we stand to lose a great deal more than conversion of such offiees as Nevada City to agency operation.” Text of the message forwarded yesterday to Federation Communications Commission: December 29, 1949 Federal Communciations Commission, Washington, D. C. Gentlemen: The Nevada City Chamber of Commerce representing approximately 80 percent of the businessmen of this community of 2,900 population strongly protests the contemplated removal of Western Union wire facilities here. Western Union officials have pointed out that the planned closing of.the offices which will be replaced by a commission service is necessitateqd by a situation in which costs of. eperation have exceeded revenues. However, it is our _ belief that revenue figures submitted by Western Union do not include revenues collected at other yeffices for messages . sent to Nevada City. If these figures were available we believe that the balance sheet would more closely approach a profitable showing. We further believe that a utilities corporation committed to public service as well as profit could conceivably have non-profitable units which could be partially sup-. ported by the revenues of metropolitan units which do show large profits to the company. It is our belief that a vigorous program of business solicitation and a sharp eye to all matters of public service—a campaign to which we pledge our aid—could place the local office on a paying basis. We further contend that. part-time placing of local wire communications facilities as adjunct to @ local express company and bus depot would not properly serve local needs. Although we lack supporting data we believe that in past years when Nevada City was one of the gold producing centers of the West that wire traffic in and out was probably considerable, and probably showed large profits for a long period of time. In. further. support of. our request for the continuance of full local service we point out that Postmaster William J. Wasley this week reported that postal receipts here for the past year were considerably higher than those of the previous year. This might be taken as an indication of future business increases in all lines. It is our earnest hope that your body closely scrutinize this case before granting .permission for withdrawal of full wire services. Respectfully, NEVADA CITY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Ray Spickelmier, president. YEAR'S PROBATION Carl Ten Broek, Nevada City, has been granted a year’s probation following arraignment in superior court on charges of fail. ure to provide for his family. = HAPPY NEW YEAR HAVING COMPANY?
