upon as an undisputed authority on the
power wagon business. states that
there are at present in use SIS. 600 motor
trucks in use. These have a value OF
100000, 600. He predicts a great
change in the trucks of the future and
vast increase in their use all over
the country.

Of a value of $3.50. 900 in use by John
Wanamaker and 1O9 by Marshall Field
which have cost 100000. The Gimbel
stores in New York use 127 motor de-
livery wagons, Carson, Prize, Scott &
company, Chicago, 81 machines, and the
Fair, Chicago, "a pOWer-driven wagons.
The American Express company uses
81 machines Of a value Of S80O,0OO, and
is the leading user Of commercial wag-
Ons in the United States. The United

chimes valued at $4,000
The Wells-Fargo company operates

According to Wardrop. the physical
development Of the draft horse is at
an end. and the commercial wagon
is coming so rapidly that a century
hence there will be few horses used
in commercial business circles. He does
not believe strongly in the talk Of a
horseless city.
The great firms that have ridded
themselves of their horse equipment al
most altogether and have taken to the
motor truck for all work, have all re-
ported a vast saving and increasing
satisfaction every year. and the re-
suits attained by the big users are be-
ing used generally by motor truck
manufacturers to push the sale of
commercial cars to smaller merchants
and with rapidly increasing success.

York city department, has just pub
Ished his report for the past year.
This report brings out the fact that
the total number Of fire cases increased
during 1912, as compared with 1911
while the average damage done by each
fire was % percent less in 1912 than
in 1911 IN 1911 there were 1887
fires, with a total loss Of So 40 SO6
or an average loss Of 1855, while in
1872 there occurred IL, 633 fires. aver
aging losses Of $3.50, and aggregating
a total loss of S9,069, $50. The reduc-
ton in fire loss during. the year 1912
was therefore 50. 401,226. That a great
deal of this saving is due to the ef-
ficient and speedy service given by
motor trucks is illustrated by the fact
that commissioner Johnson has con-
tracted for 50 motor driven pieces Of
fire fighting equipment

Farmers are now devOtees Of motoring
and when tours are routed through
their sections it is strange at no time
to see these famers out filling holes
in the road, giving tows absolutely
without charge up the hills, and pre-
senting fruit and flowers, milk and
even honey to the tourists as they
pass.

London. July 5-Prcmier Asquith is
said By his friends to be seriously
considering taking the Office Of Lord
Chief Justice Of England. from which
Lord AlVerstone is soon to retire, so
that the Premier may be assured Of a
permanent income for the remainder
o; his life. The fact is that Asquith.

Of this.
