assignment or reassignment of assignment of titles made
by a registered motor vehicle dealer provided said dealer
has given to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles proper
notice of the receipt of said vehicles as required by Section
155 of this Article when said applications are submitted
upon proper forms furnished by the Commissioner.
