    In 1910, Connecticut began issuing Livery porcelains for the first time.  These
    were used on vehicles for hire, which were used to convey paying passengers.
    Marked with an "L" suffix, livery plates were in the reverse colors of the
    passenger issues, just like dealers.  According to the "Hartford Courant," there
    were 486 Livery registrations in 1912, 900 in 1913 and before 1914 was over, plate
    numbers surpassed the #1,000 mark.  In 1915, numbers nearly doubled, hitting
    nearly 2,500.  Beginning in 1916, the state legislature abolished this particular
    class of registration and Connecticut no longer issued distinct Livery plates.  It is
    believed that Livery vehicles received commercial plates in 1916.  The state of
    Connecticut would not issue separate Livery plates again until 1932.
