The municipal authorities and other
large users Of gasoline in Indianapolis
are finding il difficult to place satisfac-
tory contracts for gasoline for this
year. The best figure that is being
quoted is u cent off OF the market
price. In the past it has been possible
10 make contracts at from 9ls 10 1OR
cents gallon, with the benefit Of any
reduction below the contract price.

has been customary TO pass trolley
cars ON the right side, but the injury
to a person alighting from a trolley
car by a passing automobile has re-
suited in the new decision.
Since the 1913 Locomobile was an
nounced last summer the engineers OF
the company have developed a new
electric motor starter for the Locomo-
bile.
The new plunger switch is located
under the front floor boards where it
may be examined conveniently at any
time, should it be desired to do so.
The foot plunger or pedal, which ope-
rates the device, is removable, so that
the operator may place it in his peck
ed when he leaves the car standing,
thus preventing anyone from meddling
with the apparatus, or starting the
car.
The Locomobile electric motor
starter wifi turn over the engine from
10 to so revolutions per minute, and
is so powerful that no engine can back
FIRE against it.
II a car is travelling at a speed OF
about ten miles an hour a system
which Eliminates the road for some 40
+ fceet ahead of the automobile may be
/ quite adequate, since at that rate OF
propulsion the car may be stopped
without difficulty within a distance OF
40 feet. If the automobile travels al
twice the speed mentioned the momen
tum Of the car becomes twice what II
was az ten miles per hour and the dis
lance needed for stopping it by the
same brLking effort will be proper
tionately in excess of the distance re
qIired in the first place. Modern auto
mobilists, travelling at the average
rate OF % miles an hour, are equipped
with brake facilities capable Of bring
ing them 70 a standstill within 80 feet
which is enough to avoid a mishap o.
any kind if the driver keeps his eye
on the road ahead.
