SANDS AND ClAYS TO BE ADVER-
TISED AS INITIAL STEP IN PUT
THE INDUSTRIAL MAP.

Sands and clays that abound ip and
near Ottawa In almost unlimited
quantities are to be first called to the
colOrs in Ottawa's publicity campaign
fer bigger and better city. This has
been agreed upon by directors of the
Chamber Of Commerce and trustees of
the Industrial Board, as the best
means of attracting attention to the
town as desirable community in
which to establish glass factories and
| boundaries.
/ Particular stress is to be laid upon
the glass factory feature. In virtually
all the great centers where natural
gas was the attractive asset that serv.
cd as magnet for investors with
capital to launch glass making indus
tries. either the complete elimination,
or the weakening of the gas supply
has caused these manufacturers to
seek new locations, where freight and
coal rates are cheaper and better. OF
tawa offers low freight rates by being
within the Chicago zone where rail
ways are competing with water traffic

time being in the Peoria zone for the
western markets. Coal can be ship
ped here from the Southern Illinois
! field at 75c the ton. The almost un-
ending supply of glass sand with Writ.
ually little other than switching
charges against it offers the one big
bait to specialists in this industrial
line.
A new monthly pamphlet to be
known in the future as Ottawa In
dustry' is now on the presses AMI
soon will be ready for distribution
thruout the city. The magazine con
tains a resume of the Chamber o
Commerce's hopes and aims together
with an appeal for residents Of thu
city to subscribe to the 100000 in
dustrial fund--a bone fide proposition
that assures the investor fair rat
of interest and good return on hi
money.
Secure Factory Sites.
That the trustees of the Industria
Association have been working ener
geticaly is evidenced by the name
in which they have been getting re
suits in the way of securing factor,

and options given upon them, Th'

OVER 3,500,000 AUTO CARS

Gross Revenues From Licenses And

$25 5,865, ,358.75

An interesting piece of statistical
information from the office of infor.
nation of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture gives astounding
facts relative to the Importance of the
automobile as a revenue producer
The report says:
In 1916 there were 1,067,332 more
motor cars registered in the United
States than in 1915. This was an in
crease of 43 per cent. The gross total
of registered cars. including CONNER.

of motorcycles registered was ESQ.,.
500. The several states collected in
registration and license fees includ-
ing those of chauffeurs and operators,
total gross revenue OF $685.
369.75. or this amount 80 per cent,
or $23,910,S11, was applied directly
to construction. improvement. or

forty-three states, according to fig.
ures compiled by the Office of public
roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. in circular 73,
Automobile Registrations, Licenses
and Revenues in the United States,

The figures for 1916 correspond
very closely with the annual percen.
tage increase of motor car registra-
ton of the last three years. This
yearly increase has averaged 40 per
cent in the number of cars and so
per cent in revenues.
When viewed over a period OF
years. the increase in motor car reg.
istration and gross revenue has been
remarkable. In 1906 the total state
registrations were approximately 4s'
900 cars. on account Of which the sew
