axles, shall pay a registration fee based upon gross shipping weight
of the chassis and battery as certified by the manufacturer, with
gross weight limitations for the vehicles and load, as follows:

Less than 2,500	10,000	$ 30.00
2,501 to 4,000	17,000	45.00
4,001 to 5,000	20,000	70.00

(2) Provided any truck having ¾ ton manufacturers' rating ca-
pacity and under shall pay, $25.00. Provided further that in addi-
tion to the aforegoing registrations, the Department shall issue
registrations to be known as "dump service registration" providing
for a gross weight of vehicle and load of not more than forty
thousand (40,000) pounds for two axle vehicles nor more than sixty-
five thousand (65,000) pounds for three or more axle vehicles, upon
application therefor and certification by the applicant that the
vehicle for which registration is sought is a dump truck for the
hauling of loose materials in bulk or a truck used for the hauling
of feeds in bulk. For the purposes of this paragraph a dump truck
shall be defined as a single unit commercial motor vehicle designed
for the transportation of property where the cargo being carried
by said vehicle is discharged by self-unloading means either by
gravity or mechanical means. The Department may so issue license
tags hereafter issued of this class as to distinguish their character
and shall in any event be required to stamp registration cards is-
sued pursuant to such application with the words "dump service"
to indicate the specific character thereof. An applicant for dump
service registration plates authorized herein shall pay therefor on
each vehicle at the rate of thirteen ($13.00) dollars per thousand
pounds of gross weight of vehicles and load and in no event less than
five hundred and twenty ($520.00) dollars per vehicle. Except when
operating on divided highways of two or more lanes in each direction
and except when not loaded, vehicles so registered shall at no time
be operated at a rate of speed in excess of thirty-five (35) miles
per hour and the fixing of this maximum limitation shall not be
deemed to enlarge or increase any lesser speed limits fixed by any
other law, ordinance, rule or regulation. Vehicles so registered which
are not subject to the thirty-five (35) miles per hour maximum speed
limit shall be governed by speed limits as set forth elsewhere in this
article. Vehicles having a dump service registration and being op-
erated for the hauling of loose materials in bulk within a radius
of not more than one hundred (100) miles of the point of pickup
