The number of automobile owners
In this city is constantly increasing.
Conservative estimates place the num-
Der of owners in Richmond at 500, al
though it is impossible to ascertain the
exact number. Records in the office
of City Controller McMahan show that
more than 400 residents of the city
have secured city licenses, but it is
believed that there are at least 100
owners of machines who have not OBJ
tanned city licenses, because, accord
ing to recent act of the Indiana leg
islature, it is not compulsory now to
pay license fee to municipality.
That there are more motorists in
Richmond than in any city of its size
in Indiana is the statement of many
local persons Probably this is due to
the fact that there are four automobile
manufactures in this city. which de
spite the fact that numerous other cars
Cre sold by local dealers, dispose of
krge numbers of machines yearly in
Michmond and Wayne county.
Ghe Richmond automobile public has
Always taken keen interest in the
doings of the automobile world. Rich
mond-made cars have been entered in
endurance runs, and local machines
have been entered in races to compete
