The present year makes the fourth
Mr. Hopkins has occupied the mayors

Hopkins is the youngest mayor the
city has ever had he is among the
best.
The friends of the mayor say he has
made good" and they further state
that he should be reelected without
opposition. So far there is little talk
of any one particular man although
several names have been mentioned.
One of the men, the head of manu-
featuring plant, when asked by a
News representative whether or not
he would be a candidate said "some
few people have been to me but, while
l would like very much to be mayor,
see no reason why anyone should

better. than the average business man

occasion for a changer"

THIS ROUMANIAN
INVASION WENT BAD
FOR THE INVADERS
AMERICANS USE
NUMBERS OF CARS
THERE is A MACHINE FOR EVERY
MILE OF RURAL ROUTE IN
THE COUNTRY.

There's a motor car for every mile
of rural road in the United States.
That's the average.
In Nevada, however. you will pass
a motor vehicle only once in six miles,
while on New Jersey roads, you will
pass by an auto six times in every
mile.
If everybody in the United States
were to take to riding in autos at one
time, A persons would have to jam
into every car
But if you happened to live in Iowa,
there would be only 16 in your car,
while if your abode was in Alabama,
you would travel with 1919 other per
sons.
There is just about as much in
equality in the auto registration fees
charged by the different states as in
other motor statistics.
You would pay $7.46 license fee for
a car, if you could choose the average
price for the whole United States, but
if you were a resident of Vermont,
your car would cost you $3.50 year.
Your cousin out in Minnesota would
pay only so cents year. These are
the figures for registration or license,
not for taxes.
License fees netted $1S,245, ,713 in
1915 and 80 per cent. of the sum,
mere than $16,OOO,0OO was used for
building county and state roads. Cali.
fornia led in the amount of gross rev
enue with $2,027, ,432; this was for 1853,
797 cars. New York, with 255, PAP reg
istrations, raised $1,991,1S1 in reve
nue..
Ten years ago the income from auto
fees was less than three-tenths of one
per cent. of the total expenditure on
roads, but last years fees betrayed
nearly per cent of the total cost
of road building.
Recent laws made in manv of the
states are gradually increasing the
public highways budget from the rev
enue collected from motor car vehi
| cles.
Many states add a large part of the
| fines collected from autoists who
| break traffic laws to the allowance fol
road construction.
