application therefor and certification by the applicant that the
vehicle for which registration is sought is a dump truck for the
hauling of loose materials in bulk. For the purposes of this para-
graph a dump truck shall be defined as a single unit commercial
motor vehicle designed for the transportation of property where the
cargo being carried by said vehicle is discharged by self-unloading
means either by gravity or mechanical means. 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 registra-
tion 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. 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 oper-
ated 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 applicable restrictions of this article.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1967.
