B—-14 VIRGINIA TAGS MUST BE ONBY THURSDAY Sheriff Fields = Announces Drivers With 1929 Plates Will Be Arrested. CLARENDON, Va, January 14— “They will have them on after Wed- nesday, or else—." This ultimatum, | intended In general for the automobile- | driving public of Virginia and in par- | tieular for those who by that time have not complied with the law and availed themselves of the opportunity to procure and attach to their cars the new 1930 license tags, was today issued from the office of Sheriff Howard B. Fields. The “else” part of the ultimatum means that those found driving their cars within the jurisdiction of the sher- ifT's office and wearing the old tags after tomorrow will be taken before Police Court_Judge Harry Thomas, who has a habit ‘of assessing a minimum fine of $14.25 for such offenses. Not a Day of Grace. Sheriff Fields declared that not a sin- gle day of grace is to be allowed in any part of the State and that he has been advised by Richmond to go after de- linquents right at the start, and added “that is just what I intend to do.” “J. V. Turner, tag distributor for | Arlington County,” the sheriff stated, | “has been stationed at the court house since December 15, giving everybody ample time to get the plates, and if they are picked up because of wearing the | old plates, they have nobody to blame but themselves.” | Last-Minute Rush. A last-minute rush for the tags is ex- pected, Mr. Turner declaring that less than 4,000 of them have been procured to date. He estimated that fully 3,000 are yet to be called for today and to- morrow. He announces that he will re- main at the court house until 4 o'clock | tomorrow afternoon. when that office | ‘will be closed for the season. After that | tags may be obtained at his office in | Falls Church. Turner has had the as- | sistance of Officer Jones, whose injured | foot, sustained in a crash between his | motor cycle and an automobile several months ago, is slowly mending.
