ket for motor trucks and pleasure
cars, and it is what might be termed
rather huge beginning, says the Sc
attic P.-I.
In the state of Washington today
there are more than $4,000 pleasure
cars alone. This represents an invest
ment of $29,OOO,OO0, figuring the
average Washington car value at the
conservative amount of $615.
Allowing $3.50 per year for the up
keep of each of these cars, S7,050, 900
is spent annually in the state of Wash
ington for tires, oil, gasoline and min
or repairs. Estimating the average
Washington registration fee at the
very conservative figure of SIS, there
is the sum of $235,000 turned into the
state annually by pleasure car owners
alone.
The total registration of pleasure
cars, trucks and rent machines in the
state up to November is 65,662. AL
lowing 1921 as the average value of
rent, commercial and pleasure cars in
Washington, there is permanent in
vestment in motor vehicles of 4O,776,-
102. Estimating the upkeep on each
of these 1862 cars at $3.50, the same
as the pleasure cars, there is $685.
3O2 spent in Washington yearly for
service sundries and accessories.
During the month of October there
were 2,547 cars registered in the state
of Washington, and while it is not be-
lievd that the November registration
will quite come up to those of October,
it is claimed that Washington will
show close to 1000 registrations this
month. During October almost double
the number of cars We're registered
that were listed with the secretary of
state last year during the same month,
and this is taken as evidence of an
increasing demand for cars during
the fall and winter months.
During the entire fiscal year which
ended April 80, 1916, there were but
$4,000 motor car registrations in
Washington against 65,6 1852 licensed by
the state authorities to November 1 of
this year.
With the sale of motor cars being
carried thru the winter season as is
to be the case this year, the registra-
lions for the fiscal year should be
practically double those of the pre-
vious twelve months. The most con-
sentative estimators are forced to ad-
NIT that it is more than probable that
Washington will register as many
cars per capita in November, De-
cember and January as any state in
the Union.
