 S. 207 2

 1 preceding the expiration date of such registration including such expi-
 2 ration date. Provided, further, however, that where the required proof
 3 of registration consists of an expired registration for the same vehi-
 4 cle, issued to the same person applying for the registration or renewal,
 5 and the expired registration certificate and number plates and date tags
 6 issued for such registration had not been surrendered to the commission-
 7 er on or before the expiration date of such registration, the commis-
 8 sioner may in his discretion deem such application to be a renewal of
 9 the expired registration and require that the fee paid for such regis-
 10 tration be computed as if the registration had been made prior to the
 11 date of expiration of the expired registration.
 12 b. The fee for the renewal of a registration shall be the same as the
 13 annual registration fee, and, where a registration or renewal is for a
 14 period of more or less than one calendar year, the annual fees as
 15 provided in this section shall be increased or reduced proportionately
 16 on a daily computation basis, except that where the annual registration
 17 fee for such vehicle would amount to ten dollars or less, the fee shall
 18 not be so prorated.
