penditures called for in the Bill. For this reason we are un-
able to advise you to sign the bill, and we, therefore, recom-
mend that you veto it.
The bill in the form in which it was finally passed is so
obscurely and ambiguously worded that we do not believe it
will fully accomplish the purposes for which it was intended,
but as the subject is one of such vital importance we recom-
mend that you appoint a Commission to study the whole ques-

for the purpose of actually issuing the 1930 licenses there.
The cost of trying out the experiment on a small scale like this
could probably be met, and this would furnish a practical
demonstration of exactly how the plan of issuing licenses in
the counties would work.
In connection with this general subject, it is important to
remember that the recent Legislature passed a bill authorizing
the purchaser of a, new car to use the tags from his old car
on the new car for a period of five days, during which time he
can secure his new license. I will approve this bill. It

and drive off in the new car at once, and I feel confident that
