     8  Application  for said license plate shall be filed with the commissioner

    10    2. The distinctive plate authorized in subdivision one of this section

    12  applicant or the spouse of the applicant is a member of the fire police.
    13    3. A distinctive plate issued pursuant to this section shall be issued

    17  dollars shall be charged for such plate.
    18    4. Nothing contained herein shall require the issuance  of  a  special

    22  costs of the design and manufacture of such special plates.
