iowa will have $115.oOO.o 900 invested
in automobiles by the close of the year
1914-just twice as much as the gas
wagons" in the state in 1913 were
worth. This is shown by figures COM
piled in the automobile department at
the state house. Over $4,000 automo-
biles have been registered by the. de-
partment since Jan. I. The entire reg
istration for the year of 1913 was only

$1,000 more autos than at the same
time a year ago. It is predicted by the
automobile department officials that
the total number of registrations will
be $4,000 by the end Of the year. The
average price of automobiles used in
Iowa Is fixed at $1,000.
