MILLION FOR STATE
FROM N. Y. MOTORISTS
City's Registration Fees for Last
Six Months.

From information furnished by the
Department of State at Albany TO the
New York Chamber of Comerce for the
purpose of meeting current inquiries
il appears that. during the last SIX
months, from February TO July 81, in
elusive. New York City contributed
more than 100000 in motor vehicle
registration fees to the states income.
According to the records of the Sec
rotary Of State. these registrations in
cluded 1164S2 owners of motor vehi-
cles. 40 dealers and 59,430 chauffeurs.
From these the exact receipts In fees
were S1,l00,203. During the month OF
July 5,615 owners registered in this
city.
Next to New York, Buffalo's registra-
tons are the most numerous among
the states motor owners. That city,
for the same six months, registered
s5.4i7 owners, 744 dealers and l3,54S
chauffeurs and contributed fees TO the
amount Of S661 1850. Albany had a
registration of 70,263 owners, S03
dealers and 146l3 chauffeurs, and con
tributed fees amounting to S55l ,277 so
These three cities turned into the state
treasury S2.312.599 during the first half
of the automobile year
The total registration in these three
I cities was 274,479 owners. The small
number Of dealers in New York City
compared with the population is note
worthy by contrast with the totals for
Buffalo and Albany, the state capital
having more dealers registered than
New York City.
The motorcycle registration in New
York City. for the first half of the year
was only 1895, against 1883 for Buff
falo and 6,547 for Albany. making for
the three cities 2l.475 cycles regis

$1,000 CAMPAIGN
GIFT LIMIT URGED
Wealthy Givers Should Be
Kept from White House
Table, Says Marsh

One thousand dollars should be the
limit Of any individual contribution to
Presidential campaign funds, but no
limit should be placed on the amount
campaign committees receive or ex-
pend, according TO the suggestion
made Yesterday by Wilbur W. Marsh,
treasurer Of the Democratic National
Committee. Mr.. Marsh declared en-
phatically that there must be a new
and more stringent corrupt practices
act. in which the individual Limitation
on contributions must be stated. lie
suggested $1,000 as the maximum
"within the means Of the average man
TO give"
The Democratic treasurer said THAI
he believed the campaign just finished
would be the last one of its KIND IN
this country. and that before another
President was chosen the rules govern
ing the financial department OF the
national committees would be material
ly changed. -
81 suggest 81 900 as a maximum
said Mr.. Marsh. ito prevent the rlch
man buying his place at the White
House table or in the councils OF tne
leaders of the nation. There should
he no limitation on the amount cam
paign committee can receive and eX-
pend. because there must be no limita-
tion of the facilities for educating and
informing the voters. In the last cam
paien the Adamson act was utilized Tor
rurposes of class antagonlsm and was
never fully set forth to the voters.
We Democrats did not have the money
10 conduct a campaign OF puDllclly
that would have insured full analysis
of the Adamson law
Mr.. Marsh was reminded that Cleye-
land II. Dodge had contributed St9.OOO
to the Democratic committees fund to
reflect President Wilson. He declared
that he believed Mr.. Dodge had been
actuated by the highest motives or
patriotism and friendship, as had
Charles W. Taft in contributing large
sums TO the Taft campaigns OF i9oo ana
1912 toward the reelection OF ms
brother William Howard Taft. But,
MIR. Marsh insisted, as a rule small
contributions meant patriotism as
against power to purchase preference
of some kind. Mr.. Marsh declared that
he did not believe the Republicans
would have carried a single state IN
the recent election If his plan had
been In vogue.

CITY WINS "Lo BRIDGE FIGHT
Court Holds Company Cannot BUM
Store Approaches without PERMITS

The City Of New York will be en-
riched many thousands Of dollars a
year through decision rendered yes,
terday by Justice Gayegan, IN favor OF
the city against the lnterborough Kappa
Transit Company, which sustsins the
right Of the city TO regulate the build
ing of bridges across streets from one
elevated railway structure to another
Justice Gavegan said he was con-
vinced Of the convenience of the struct,,
ures. but that the granting OF elevated
railway franchises did not give the
holders Of the franchises the privilege
of extending their structures without
further permission. One department
concern recently agreed to pay SUP
stantial yearly rental to prevent the
removal Of the bridge leading to IT'S
store. The city will now be In POSI-
ton TO fix rental on all the other
bridges that have been built without
the city's permission.
The city receives $1,000 q year Tor
each OF the approaches to the Hudson
Terminal, and it is said that this rate
will be used in fixing the rental for
the elevated bridges.
