RUN electric ON
S5.24PER MONTH
Salt Lake Company Gives
Some Interesting Figures
on Cost.

when the prospective purchaser of
an electric pleasure vehicle inquiries the
probable cost per month, or per year, of
running the car, the salesman usually
is at his wits end to produce figures
which may be considered even vaguely
approximate. He has had no oppor-
tunity 20 post himself, save that he
hears that TINS or that owner ran so
many miles and his current cost him
SO much.
In the light of the general lack of
such information among statesmen and
the general public, a report just com
piled by the Studebaker Bros company
Is of particular interest The fact that
the figures are gathered from owners
of Salt Lake electTiCS detracts none
from their interest TO owners OF other
cars.
Salt Lake citizens who drive this
particular carriage were canVassed ana
the report covers the year 1903. me
results show at what cost an electric
can be run and maintained.
The average total cost-lncIudlng re-
pairs, tires and battery ralnteh Iat 80
TO each owner was S.Ol4-One cent ana
a few mills per mile. This, the RECORDS
show, is divided as follows: Repairs,
$.OO19; tires, S.0OSS1; battery, S.UOS q
This cost, of course, is aside from Jie
cost of the electric current and on thls
the inyesti cation of the Studeaker com
pany shows that the average cost to
each owner of the cars charged during

THE SALT CITY, UTAH. TUESDAY ~ 1910

six cities and towns turn out 1900 ma
chimes or less. In several towns only
matter of ten cars were produced last
year. but they are on the automobile map
and that is sufficient.
That the fifty-six are not the only ones
in the field, is evident by the fact that
the automobile show here. In addition,
a number were unable to find space at
the exhibition.
Auto Here to Stay.
Although the cars built for pleasure
have had the call up to date, the vehicles
used in commerce have not been over
looked, either by the manufacturers or
the merchants. Thousands of trucks are
used daily in every large city in the coun-
try, while the lighter delivery cars are
becoming more and more popular, With
better streets and roads the time Will
probably be short when the five and ten
ton truck will displace the blacks and
the ''grays" on the city's streets.
The question often asked is: Where
will it stop? Has the auto come to stay
or is it only a passing fad and will it fol-
low in the wake of the bicycle? The man
ufacturers with one accord have only one
answer, boiled down into the fact that the
automobile is an Indispensable adjunct
to civilization, and nothing short of air
ships will ever take its place. There is no
claim that the auto has reached its per
lection, but as time goes on, it will be
improved more and more, and even now
it is within reach of the man with mod
crate means.

BE DETERMINED.
MODERN DESIGN DESCRIBED

Inasmuch as 1t is the recognized duty
of an architect to keep abreast OF the
conditions and requirements of the rap
idly approaching universalism of the
motor age in order to warrant the sub
mitted designs and constructed editlces
70 be complete, a general discussion of the
requisites for a modern garage is here
with attempted.
Great stress should be laid upon having
adequate floor space and abundant height
for the up-to-date car, and as some
makes of car measure lover AID eighteen
feet six inches, including the top folded
down, such a dimension must be consld-
cred SO that when the car is in position
in the garage, a space Of at least two
feet six inches should be provided Tor IN
the rear and at least two feet IN front,
necesitating a clear floor space or at
least twenty-three feet. To accommo-
date one car the width of floor star
should never be less than twelve feet ana
for two cars twenty feet, In addition 70
these measurements, consideration shoulG
be given for the necessary space 10 allow
accessibility to work benches, MIGRANTS,
light outlets, staircases, drying closets
robe racks, etc.

1t frequently happens that a car runs
finely for a time and then the driver
realizes that its action is becoming
less and less lively. with such symp-
toms as these IL should be noted
whether the exhaust is smoky and
smelly and whether it was always in
such a condition. If it is, the most
likely place to apply a remedy is in
the muffler, the small holes Of which
are clOgged and may be almost closed.
Exhaust back pressure works this way.

Question of Heating.

As the question of the proper heating
of a garage is of great Importance, it is
recommended that if it is not possible to
heat same by attachment to the house
heating plant by employing underground
connections, then the system should be
installed either in an air-tight ceiled
room with the only means of accessi-
bility from the outside, or in a small at
tached or annexed compartment with a
brick, stone of concrete wall interven-
ing between the garage room proper, and
this compartment in a like manner, is
only TO be accessible from the outside.
The Importance of not running a risk to
the motor house falling below the freez-
ing point is paramount. as the water cir
CuiatiOn in the radiator and engine
is always under these conditions TO be
considered, although the writer knows of
objections being made to heating by rea-
son of the deteriOratng influences to the
painted work, and in such cases his
clients have utilized a type of portable
electrical radiator about nine inches by
twelve inches by four inches, which is
placed directly under tine car, is simple

Automobile Industry Has De-

1t is a far cry from the OK cart TO the
"six-cylinder," and but few appreciate
what the interval has meant to the road
transportation of the world. Where once
the canvas-covered ship of the desert

ored flyers of a nOrseless age. The paths

Great Advance Made.

Great ADVANCE W doe'
Less than fifteen years have passed
since the first automobile road race.
1t was then regarded as marvellous that
any seIf-propelled vehicle could last out
a continuous journey OF some twenty
five or thirty miles. Today SUCH dis
lance is mere pleasure JaUnt, and tax
ing the speed on the race track as an
index, il becomes matters Of minutes IN
stead Of hours.
Where a few years ago the makers of
automobiles could be counted on one
fingers, now scores of cities and villages
turn out hundreds and thousands OF ma
Crimes And as for the real centers OF
the industry, millions of dollars are in
vested, acres OF ground are covered with
mammoth structures and thousands or
men find employment. Night and day
shifts are the rule in the majority Of
factories, and a large number are IN
able to supply the demand despite rap
/ idly increasing facilities.
An index TO the rapidly growing IN
dustry is the probable output for the
/ year 1910. 1t is calculated that some
/ thing like $4,000 cars viii be put on
[ the market. 1t seems as If it was odd
/ DobDin' for the barn in the near u
ture, should the pace keep up. The speed
machine has become a necessity to the
/ farmer as well as to the merchant and
/ to the man with leisure and money, 1t
| has ceased to be luxury.
Mode of Life ReVoIutionized.
The advent Of the auto has largely
r1vOlutionized the mode of living of a
/ large part Of the population. Where
/ formerly the business man in the large
cities found 1t necessary to live as close
/ as possible to the center Of business &C
| tivities, he now has moved out in the
suburbs, with the machine at the door
/ Of his office at quitting time. Statistics
! have been compiled in Philadelphia,
where it mas been shown that more
apartments are for rent in the Heart OF
the city than ever before, while the out
/ lying districts have shown correspond
ing increase in population Without APP
probably decreasing real estate values
in what formerly WAS the exclusive resi-
dence districts, it has very largely en-
HANGED the cost of outlying property.
! An examination Of the climatic COnGt-
ton of the Quaker city has shown that
out of $50 days the man with the auto
/ could ride with ease and comfort 81 days
With improvements and more powerful
machines snow, slush and mud are n
longer d bar. With the touring car in
the summer and the limousine body il
the winter, the owner is prepared for al
seasons.
That the auto has been a great agent
for showing the public the necessity fOl
better roads and streets cannot well be
cCntTOveTted. 1t is remembered that q
comparatively short time ago a certain
company, the pioneers in the taXiCat
field in Chicago, were compelled to aban
don the enterprise on account of baC
streets. It was found that the expense:
more than cOunt5rbaianced the receipts
and so a large number Of .'hansOms'
were thrown into the discard. Now the
reverse is true. The taxi has become
a necessity and the companies are max
ing money

Good Sized Doors.

The door or doors to a garage SnOuld

nine feet in height or less than seven feet
in width for a single fold; the door or
doors can either be designed to fold out,
slide aside or by each other, or type
Of steel rolling shutters can be utilized
with many space-SaVing features. The
requirement for a hooded porch is OPP
tiOnal, and if the garage is provided with
a sufficient amount of windows the neces-
sity for this porch is not essential for the
modern type of a mOdestly appointed pTi-
vate garage as illustrated herewith. Due
consideration should always be given for
an abundance Of light and ample Ventila-
ton, so that any gas resulting from the
rapid evaporation of gasoline is quickly
diffused into the open air and TO further
effectively obtain this result in case OF

For the interior of the garage it ha.
been determined that even though the

Original Designs.

The garage described was designed to
accommodate two touring cars and also
permit of the introduction of third car
when il was desired, The clear height 81
the ceiling should never be less than nine
feet ten, and ten feet is more desirable,
on account of the varying heights or
hoods limOusines lsOme with guard ran
attachments), and also in case 1t was de
sired TO have an overhead tackle attach
ment to lift the engine from body Tor
repairs or examination: and also to pro
vide for q loose frame support for fabric
curtains which can, by means of CORDS
and pulleys, be lowered and raised so as
TO provide . complete dust-prOOt ehcIOs-
ure over the entire car; this arrangement
generally consists of a loose frame about
six feet by fifteen feet suspended about
six inches from the ceiling over the tlXed
position of the car. PiVOted overhead
washing attachments are also at times re
quired to be provided for, ana in many
cases where no loft is provided Tor sior-
Ing the limousine top, il Is necessary that
provisions be made for suspending the
top from the ceiling.
As the first garage that a client con
structs IS generally designed to only
comply with his today requirements OF
perhaps a smaller sized car than he Will
eventually possess, it is but prudent that
sincere consideration be given to the fu-
ture requirements.
The area surrounding the space actually
covered by the car proper is essential, in
order to give the car the proper attention,
such as oiling, cleaning, slight adjust
ments and repairs; thereby necessitating
a space on both sides, front and end. as
previously mentioned. As the construct
ing of a pit is no longer considered neceS-
sary, and besides it is advisable to be
avoided, on account of the increased dan
