EMERSON C. HARRINGTON, GOVERNOR. 1593

relating to the registration of motor vehicles and the licensing
of operators thereof; and the Governor of this State is hereby
authorized and empowered to confer and advise with the
proper officers and legislative bodies of other states of the
Union and enter into reciprocal agreements under which the
registration of motor vehicles owned by the residents of this
State will be recognized by such other states, and he is further
authorized and empowered, from time to time, to grant to resi-
dents of other states the privilege of using the roads of this
State as in this section provided in return for similar privi-
leges granted residents of this State by such other states.

The aforegoing exemption of non-residents shall not apply
to operators of motor vehicles or motor-cycles who are resi-
dents of states which do not require the display of identifica-
tion markers on the same, nor shall it apply to non-residents
of this State who have temporary residences in this State for
periods in excess of three months in any year, or to non-resi-
dents engaged regularly in the transportation of passengers or
freight for hire wholly or partly in this State.

Any non-resident operating a motor vehicle in this State
contrary to the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty
of displaying a fictitious marker, or operating without a license
and subject to the penalties prescribed elsewhere in this sub-
title for such offenses in the case of residents.

PART IV.

OPERATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES.
Display of Markers.

147. Every motor vehicle, except motor-cycles, and
as hereinafter otherwise provided, shall at all times while being
used or operated in this State, have displayed, entirely un-
obscured and kept reasonably clean, the number plates or
markers issued by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles for
such motor vehicles as hereinbefore provided.

One of such plates or markers shall be displayed conspicu-
ously on the front and the other on the rear of such motor
vehicles, both to be fastened so as not to swing. Every
motor-cycle while being used or operated in this State
shall have displayed on the rear thereof, a plate or marker
furnished by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles as
aforesaid, said plate or marker to be so fastened as to be en-
tirely unobscured and to be kept reasonably clean.
