A bill now before the New Jerse

A bill now before the New Jersey legislature provides for a very heavy tax on automobiles. It calls for the establishment of a special corps of inspectors with a commissioner at their head, and specifies that tax shall hereafter be levied on motor cars operated within the limits. of the state, at rate of 75 cents per unit of horse power for each vehicle. This would amount to an annual tax of S30 for the owner of a forty-horse power touring car, while the man who is content with a ten-horse power runabout would pay s7.50. Many New York owners of automobiles cross the river to enjoy New Jerseys excellent roads, and for these and other outside motorists who do not wish to pay the annual rate tour ists' rate" of a dollar a day is pro. vided. The main objection to this taxing scheme is that it is another at tempt to turn a tax into a portion oi the police force in order to regulate and discourage the running of big automobiles.

The greatest number of patents issued to citizens of any one state went to New York. In proportion to population the Dis trict of Columbia received the great est number, 232, and Connecticut was next with TAI. During the year 19,5S5 patents expired.
