Well, I had some time to actually sit down and think carefully through it, and it started making sense. I think this is pretty accurate, and I've tried to translate it to the syntax of the time:

The prefect [head of local government] of the department of Loire Inférieure [region]

Following the law passed on March 10, 1899 regulating matters concerned with motor vehicle traffic, particularly section 11:

Given the favourable view of the mining agency. [In 1914 driving licences had to be approved by the mining agency]

Issued to Mr. : Olivaux, __?__ - Joseph - Mathurin Marie

Born at: Mohon[?] (Morbihan), the 5th of April 1882

Permanently resident at: Guérande, St. Michel Road

Certificate of the ability to drive:

Fuel oil-powered automobiles

Functioning under the conditions laid out by the above-mentioned laws.



Hope that helps.
