MOTORS IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Cars Registered at Rate of Fifty =
Day-Duplicatc Papers.

Massachusetts, is deriving from the
registration of motor vehicles a
bigger income than ever has been
yielded from that source. Cars have
been registered recently at the rate
of about fifty each day, and the total
number so far since January has
been 15,767.
Returns for the first half year
which have reached the State Treas
urer show that the fees collected in
connection with the automobile ac-
tivit'es by the Massachusetts High
way Commission since December !
last amounted to S10o,7S2
According to the Motor World
about ten per cent. of the cars regis
tered recently have been those OF
owners having residence in other
States. but who have been coming in
to Massachusetts with their cars for
tours or for a stay on a summer out
ing About 500 registrations were
reissues.
This year since December last
the total of private operators has
reached 4o51 and of professional
chaifeurs 1850 IL Is worth noting
that out of slightly under 200 new
applicants for eSamina,ion for pro-
fessional chauneurs' licenses the COM
missions examiners rejected about
thirty per cent.
