amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Sec. 2137. Exemption of non-resident owners.—The provisions
of the foregoing sections relative to registration and display of regis-
tration numbers shall not apply to a motor vehicle owned by a non-
resident of this State, other than a foreign corporation doing business

with the provisions of the laws of the foreign country, State, territory
or federal district of his residence relative to registration of motor
vehicles and the display of registration numbers thereon, and shall
