TO COST MUCH MORE.

According to news stories from the
state capital auto licenses will cost the
owners Of cars nextyesr an average of
thirteen dollars as against the present
fiat rate of three dollars per car and
license.
The new rate will be based on the
horsepower and weight of the car for
which license is asked, rs cents per
horsepower plus rs cents per 100 pounds
weight Of the car. The secretary Of
has figured it out that the average price
of a license will be about $13. The or
dinary Ford car will cost about $11
license fee and larger car considerably
more.
1t is figured that next year about
135, 900 licenses will be taken out as
102. 600 have been issued thus far this
year against 76. 600 for the whole year
of 1914. The total sum paid for these

half to the county in which the tax is
