In connection therewith you have submitted the following
statement of facts:
"There are a number of corporations in
Shelby and surrounding counties which raise
and transport poultry in their own trucks to
market. These poultry trucks are used
exclusively for transporting poultry raised
and belonging to the corporations to market
and for no other purpose. Also, there are
several other cars belonging to the corpora-
tions which are used only for transportation
of the supervisors to the various farms for
the purpose of inspecting the poultry being
raised on the farms and supervising their
care. There is a third set of vehicles owned
by the corporations which are used only for
the purpose of transporting baby chicks from
the corporations' hatcheries to the farms
owned by the corporations or to haul eggs
from the farms to the corporations' principal
places of business for the grading and sort-
ing of the eggs."
Article 6675a-6a provides in part as follows:
"When a commercial motor vehicle is to be
used for commercial purposes by the owner thereof
only in the transportation of his own poultry,
dairy, livestock, livestock products, timber in
its natural state, and farm products to market,
or to other points for sale or processing, or
the transoortation by the owner thereof of
laborers from their place of residence, and
materials, tools, equipment and supplies, without
charge, from the place of purchase or storage, to
his own farm or ranch exclusively for his own use,
or use on such farm or ranch, the registration
license fee shall be fifty per cent (50%) of the
registration fee prescribed for weight classifica-
tions in Section 6 of this Act; provided, however,
that the additional use of the vehicle as a means
of passenger transportation, without charge, of
members of the family to attend church or school,
to visit doctors for medical treatment or supplies,
and for other necessities of the home or family
shall not prevent its registration as a farm
vehicle. Nothing in the foregoing shall be in-
terpreted as permitting the use of a farm licensed
vehicle in connection with other gainful employ-
ment. . . ."
