and/or trucks are in safe oper
ating condition.
“This new law, long needed
in Georgia, is designed to re
duce the number of accidents
and resultant deaths and in
juries through the removal of
unsafe vehicles from our high
ways and streets,” said Col. H.
Lowell Conner, director of the
Georgia Department of Public
Safety, whose department will
administer the law.
“Now is a good time for
Georgia motorists, particularly
those who may be inclined to
be lax in this respect, to get in
the habit of keeping their veh
icles in proper operating cond
ition. They’re going to have to
do it later, so why not now? It
is a safety measure for the
protection of all users of our
public thoroughfares.”
The new Georgia law is
similar to laws which have
proved useful in 19 other states
and, like most of those laws, is

Taxpayers Must
Give S.S. Number
Taxpayers should double-check
to be sure that they have entered
the correct social security number
on their Income Tax returns. Mr.
A. C. Ross, District Director of
Internal Revenue, said recently
that a large number of taxpa^ ..s
have erroneously entered the
identification number of their
employer on their 1962 Income
Tax returns instead of their own
Social Security number. This
delays processing and usually
causes inconvenience to the tax
payer concerned.
The Form W 2. statement of
wages and taxes withheld, shows
both the employer identification
number and the Social Security
number of the employee. The em
plorer identification number con
sists of nine digits with a hyphen
or space after the first two dig
its (oo 0000000) and is shown in the
same space with the employer s
name. The Social Security number
also consists of nine digits but is
separated in a different manner
(00-00-0000). The Social Security
number is usually shown in the
same area as the employee’s name
and address.
