from whom received. Similar notice shall be given in the case
of the delivery of all new motor vehicles 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 each of
the above cases be made on forms to be provided by the said
Commissioner, to be subscribed and sworn to by the manufac-
turer, dealer or distributor, and to be sent to the said Commis-
sioner 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 Commissioner shall promptly
issue to such manufacturer, dealer or distributor, without cost,
a certificate for each such vehicle so received. A manufacturer,
dealer or distributor, duly registered under the provisions of
this Section, may use his dealers' tags on motor vehicles in his

motor vehicle, written permission so to do, and provided fur-

officer, the actual consent in writing of the owner of said motor
vehicle to such use. Whenever a sale of a motor vehicle is made

use his dealer's tags for a period not exceeding five clays from
the date of the sale, provided, however, that the purchaser shall
have and display, on demand of any proper officer, the actual
consent in writing of the dealer to such use, and provided
further, that before such use is permitted, the purchaser shall
be required to make application for the registration and titling
of said motor vehicle and shall forward the fees prescribed
therefor, to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.

motor vehicle while engaged in business of any kind or char-
acter except the automobile business of the manufacturer,
dealer or distributor, nor in the business of transportation for
hire or livery business; nor shall the same be used after such
