LOST PROPERTY SERVICE.
The irequency with wh'ch motorists' property is lost justifies the National Roads and Motorists' Association, of Sydney, in ~the provision of yet another service to its 45,000 members. In recent weeks valuables ranging from spare parts to wallets containing money have been recovered by the association and returned to their owners. In order to make this particular service more comprehensive the association has introduced what is known as the "brass tag" system. This consists of the issue to members at a nominal r ost of small brass tags, each of which bears the words: "Finder please return to or notify N.R.M.A. offices, 26, Grosvenor Street, Sydney, quoting the number." Each tag (which may be attached conveniently to any article or part likely to be lost) bears a special number corresponding to that opposite the name of the motorist to whom it is issued, as recorded in a special register in the N.R.M.A. touring department. Immediately the finder quotes the number the identity of the owner of the lost property is established.
