By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 321 of title 2 of the Canal Zone Code, section 60 of the regulations governing highways, vehicles, and vehicular traffic in the Canal Zone, prescribed by Executive Order No. 7242 of December 6, 1935, is hereby amended to read as follows:

"SEC. 60. License tags; carrying, care, and illumination. There shall be carried on each motor vehicle licensed to operate upon the highways, at a conspicuous place at the rear of such vehicle, a metal tag bearing in large numerals the number of the license for the vehicle, which tag shall be obtained from the officer acting under the authority of the Governor, at the time the license is issued. The letters and numerals of such license tag shall be kept at all times in a legible condition. During the period when vehicles are required to display lights, the license tag on all vehicles, except vehicles operated officially by the armed forces of the United States, shall be illuminated so as to be visible plainly at a distance of at least 60 feet."
