180. No manufacturer, dealer or distributor shall be entitled to obtain
or use tags or markers, issued under the provisions of Class D, Section 182
of this Article, unless he shall first register with the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles, as herein provided. Such registration shall be made
under oath upon blank forms to be provided by the Commissioner, shall

business and of all places used by him for the storage of motor vehicles,
and shall state whether such applicant is an individual, firm or corpora-

ested in said business, and if a corporation, the name and addresses of its
officers and directors. Said application and registration shall be renewed
each year, and no dealer's tags shall be issued to any one who has not so
registered. Any change in the information so furnished shall be promptly
given under oath to the said Commissioner.

Every manufacturer, dealer or distributor so registering shall notify
the said Commissioner of the receipt of all motor vehicles by him except
those which are left with him for storage or for repair, stating the make,
model and engine number of the vehicles enumerated therein, and the
name and address of the person, firm or corporation from whom received.
Similar notice shall be given in the case of the delivery of all new motor
vehicles to non-residents of the State by said manufacturer, dealer or
distributor, except that the notice in such case shall also state the name
and address of the person or persons to whom such delivery was made.

Such notices shall in all cases be made on forms to be provided by the
said Commissioner, to be subscribed and sworn to by the manufacturer,
dealer or distributor, and to be sent to the said Commissioner within
twenty-four hours after the receipt or delivery of such motor vehicle. Upon
receipt of such notice of the receipt of new motor vehicles, the said Com-
missioner shall promptly issue to such manufacturer, dealer or distributor,
without cost, a certificate for each vehicle so received.
