gross weight of vehicle and load of not more than forty thousand
(40,000) pounds for two axle vehicles nor more than sixty-five thou-
sand (65,000) pounds for three or more axle vehicles, upon application
therefor and certification by the applicant that the vehicle for which
registration is sought is a dump truck for the hauling of loose ma-
terials in bulk. The Department may so issue license tags hereafter
issued of this class as to distinguish their character and shall in any
event be required to stamp registration cards issued pursuant to such
application with the words "dump service" to indicate the specific
character thereof. An applicant for dump service registration plates
authorized herein shall pay therefor on each vehicle at the rate of
ten ($10.00) dollars per thousand pounds of gross weight of vehicles
and load and in no event less than four hundred and ten ($410.00)
dollars per vehicle. [Vehicles] Except when operating on divided
highways of two or more lanes in each direction and except when not
loaded, vehicles so registered shall at no time be operated at a rate
of speed in excess of thirty-five (35) miles per hour and the fixing
of this maximum limitation shall not be deemed to enlarge or increase
any lesser speed limits fixed by any other law, ordinance, rule or
regulation. Vehicles so registered which are not subject to the thirty-
five (35) miles per hour maximum speed limit shall be governed by
speed limits as set forth elsewhere in this article. Vehicles having
a dump service registration and being operated for the hauling of
loose materials in bulk within a radius of not more than forty (40)
miles of the point of pickup and delivery shall not be subject to any
restrictions of this article pertaining to weight of vehicle, weight
of vehicle and load however determined, and/or axle loads, except
only that at all times such vehicles shall be limited as to gross weight
by the allowable and paid registration weight, but if at a point beyond
the herein authorized forty (40) mile radius or hauling materials
other than loose materials in bulk, shall be subject to all of the appli-
cable restrictions of this article.

dump trailer service registration" upon application therefor and
certification by the applicant that the vehicle for which registration
is sought is a semi-dump trailer for the transportation of loose mate-
rial in bulk. Gross weight limitations shall be those specified for the
tractor operated in combination with this vehicle. The Department
may so issue license tags hereafter issued of this class as to dis-
tinguish their character and shall in any event be required to stamp
registration cards issued pursuant to such application with the words
"semi-dump trailer service" to indicate the specific character thereof.
An applicant for semi-dump trailer service registration plates au-
thorized herein shall pay therefor on each vehicle at the rate of three
hundred and seventy ($370.00) dollars per vehicle. [Tractors] Ex-
cept when operating on divided highways of two or more lanes in
each direction and except when not loaded, tractors in combination
with vehicles so registered shall at no time be operated at a rate of
