Austin Jr., dir ector of the motor vehicle div ision, urged vehicle owners to obtain their new license plates without delay and thus avoid al most certain long lines at the end of the period. He urged them to check their renewal applications to be sure they were correctly made out and to fill out the property tax and insurance information por tions on the reverse side of the form ahead of going for their licenses. Each owner must swear that he has paid all property taxes on the vehicle; if he falsely states that he has paid the taxes, he is in jeopardy of losing his driver’s license for six months. He must list the insurance company -- not the agent--along with the policy number and ex piration date of his coverage. Hours at the service centers are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon day through Friday.
