Question About Registering Cars 
“I have a pleasure registration for my 
car and desire to put a box on car. What 
is required?” 
The fact that you put a box on your 
oar changes the type of your car to a 
commercial vehicle. You are required to 
make out a new application covering 
vour car as a commercial vehicle, and 
send to the Secretary of State’s office, 
where you obtain the pleasure registra¬ 
tion. together with your certificate of 
registration, and the difference of fee be¬ 
tween the pleasure license fee and the 
commercial license fee, plus $1 required 
for the new certificate. When commer¬ 
cial plates are received' the original set 
of plates should be returned to the Sec¬ 
retary of State’s office. 
“I desire to carry passengers for hire. 
What is required, my car now being reg¬ 
istered as a pleasure vehicle?” 
It is necessary to follow the same pro¬ 
cedure as given above in regard to chang¬ 
ing to commercial license. The same 
applies to changing from commercial to 
omnibus license (omnibus being the term 
applied to all cars carrying passengers 
for hire. 
‘•What are the requirements to carry 
passengers for hire?” 
It is necessary that the car be regis¬ 
tered as an omnibus, and the party driv¬

license ?”

feur's license?” 
An application has to be filed with the

nish his own car for road test. Exami¬ 
nation consists of road test and written 
examination. If successful applicant will 
receive his or her license, and same will 
cover the type of car on which road test

‘‘Am I allowed to carry my own goods 
in a vehicle carrying a pleasure license?” 
You are allowed to carry goods, wares 
and merchandise with a pleasure license, 
provided the type of the car is not 
changed, as in putting on a box. 
‘‘Would I have a right to carry goods, 
wares or merchandise belonging to an¬ 
other party in a vehicle carrying a pas¬ 
senger license?”

carrying your own goods, except that if 
you received compensation for doing this

registering motor vehicles for part of

istering a car that has not been previous¬ 
ly registered in New York States in any 
year is one-half the annual rate. 
In making application for automobile 
registration it is very important that 
the headlight lens be sneeified, and same 
has to be one approved bv Secretary of 
State: otherwise application cannot be 
accepted. 
Every driver of a vehicle approaching 
the intersection of a street or public road 
shall grant the right of way at such in¬ 
tersection to any vehicle approaching 
from his right; provided that wherever 
traffic officers are stationed they shall 
have full power to regulate traffic. J. F. 
Blower for Sawdust 
I have just built a sawmill. We use 
steam, 2(Miorsopowar boiler and 35- 
horsepower engine. We are troubled to 
move the sawdust from under the mill. 
Can you help us by suggesting some ap¬ 
paratus along the line of a blower? I 
would like to carry the dust about 40 ft. 
from the mill. C. M. G. 
Skaneateles. N. Y. 
In this locality the dust is one of the 
most sought-after products of the mill, 
and about the only problem confronting 
the operator is to make enough of it. 
However, where it accumulates to the 
extent of becoming a nuisance it can be 
removed by means of a conveyor, and 
for this purpose a chain conveyor or 
elevator seems to give better service than 
a blower, especially with a small pow¬ 
ered portable mill. The blower must be 
run at high speed, about 1.200 r. p. m.. 
and consumes considerable power, while 
the chain conveyor runs much more 
slowly and takes but very little power 
from the engine. Some companies have 
discontinued the manufacture of the 
blower type of conveyor, and other con¬ 
cerns still making both recommend the 
e L a<1 u ^ vpe ^ 0r use with small mills, 
which is pretty good testimony in their 
favor - R. n. s.

To get top prices for your potatoes you must assure 
buyers of strict dependability of grading. It is impossible to do this with 
hand-graded potatoes. 
You can establish a standard for uniformity of grading that the buyer 
will recognize and pay top prices for by grading your potatoes with the 
'Boggs Potato Grader 
Your No. 1 ’s will then vary less than 3 % and will command a higher 
price than hand-graded potatoes. The Boggs grades U. S. Govern¬ 
ment sizes No. 1 and No. 2 and eliminates culls and dirt—all in one 
operation. Can’t injure or bruise potatoes because grading is done by 
carrying potatoes up over an endless belt. 
One man can grade and sort at the same time, and do three or four 
men’s work. Operated by hand, motor or engine. 
Its capacity ranges from 25 to 250 barrels per hour. _ Prices $55.00 
and up.
