MOTOR REGISTRATIONS
INCREASE IN MASTERTON. COMPARISON WITH LAST YEAR. Motor vehicle registrations at the Masterton Post Office up to May .31 show an increase of 224 compared with those recorded at the corresponding date last year. This year 2535 motor vehicles of all classes had been registered by the end of last month, as compared with 2311 last year. Details of registrations are, the figures for the previous year being given in parentheses: Motor cars, 1909 (1742); heavy traffic licences. 170 (150); exempted class, 57 (47); motor cycles, 67 (76). Wednesday proved a particularly busy day for registrations, as many as 279 being dealt with by the Masterton Post Office staff in the course of the day. Ninety-five registrations were made yesterday and no doubt for the next few days there will be a fair number coming forward. Motorists who failed to have the new number plates attached to their vehicles yesterday, in some instances found it necessary to give explanations to the police and traffic inspectors. Neglect is liable to prove costly. Even today cars were to be seen with the old plates attached.
