§ 3. The Secretary of State shall supply and deliver to the address of the owner of each licensed motor vehicle or motor bicycle registered in his office, as herein provided, charges prepaid, and without additional cost, one number plate for each motor bicycle, which shall be of a size one-third of that required for motor vehicles, as hereinafter provided, and which shall be conspicuously displayed thereon, and two number plates for each motor vehicle other than a motor bicycle. All such number plates issued during any calendar year shall be of like design and color combination, simple and inexpensive as may be for the purpose required, and the number thereon shall correspond with the number of the certificate of registration and registration seal issued by the Secretary of State, as hereinbefore provided, and such number plates shall be conspicuously displayed upon the front and back of the motor vehicle to which they are assigned as herein provided, whenever the same shall be driven or used upon the public streets, roads, turnpikes. parks, parkways, drives or other public highways in this State, and shall be firmly attached to the said motor vehicle so that they will not swing loosely, and the rear number plate shall not be less than twenty (20) inches above the surface of the ground, and both shall at all times be kept clean and free from grease and dirt.

The owner of such motor vehicle shall not be required to place any other marks of identity upon such motor bicycle or vehicle except the registration seal provided for in section 2 of this Act.

§ 4. When upon any public highway in this State, during the period from sunset to one hour before sunrise, every motor bicycle shall carry one lighted lamp and every motor vehicle two lighted lamps showing white lights visible at least two hundred (200) feet in the direction toward which each motor bicycle or vehicle is proceeding and shall also exhibit at least one lighted lamp which shall be so situated as to throw a red light visible in the reverse direction.

§ 5. Every person, firm, association or corporation manufacturing or dealing in motor vehicles may, instead of registering each motor vehicle so manufactured or dealt in, make a verified application upon a blank to be furnished by the Secretary of State for a general distinctive number for all the motor vehicles owned or controlled by such manufacturer or dealer, such application to contain: (a) A brief description of each style or type of motor vehicle manufactured or dealt in by such manufacturer or dealer, including the character of the motor power, the amount of such motor power (except in case of electrically propelled motor vehicles), stated in figures of horse power, and (b) the name, residence, including county and business address, of such manufacturer or dealer.

The number plates so issued shall be of distinctly different form than those provided for in section 3 of this Act but shall correspond in color and size of numbers and letters with the number plates for motor vehicles provided for in said section 3 hereof. Such manufacturer or dealer may obtain as many duplicates of such number plates as may be desired upon payment to the Secretary of State of six dollars for each set of two plates. Such number plates shall be conspicuously displayed upon the front and back of every motor vehicle of such manufacturer or dealer when the same is operated or driven on the public highways.

one year. Such license shall be renewed annually upon the payment of a fee of $3.00, and shall take effect on the first day of January of each year: Provided, however, that if it shall be made to appear to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State that any chauffeur shall have driven or operated motor vehicle within this State while under the influence of intoxicating liquor the Secretary of State shall thereupon immediately cancel the license of said chauffeur and shall not renew the same until after the expiration of the period of one year from and after the date of such cancellation.
