CAR FEE SYSTEM IS
QUITE COMPLICATED
Amount Collected for Various
Vehicles Is Not Uniform.
Confusion Caused by Widely Varying
Requirements for Registration or
Licensing Of chauffeurs, Own.
ers and Dealers.

The amount of fees collected per
car for either pleasure or commercial
vehicles is as yet far from uniform and
is still further complicated by the
widely varying requirements for the
registration or licensing Of chaffeurs,
owners, operators, dealers, etc. Thus.
IL the total gross registration and
license revenues be used as basis of
revenue, and the total automobile
trucks and vehicles as n basis for
mOtOrcars, 1t Is found that for the
entire United States the average fee
per car was SS.37. On the same basis
the state Of New Hampshire received
in 1918 gross revenue Of S20.52 for
each motorcar, while Minnesota re.
ceived only about S1.75 annually for
each car, as the registration in that
state is for three-year period.
In most states motorcars are taxed
as personal property in addition to
the required registration fees. In
Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, New
York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Pennsylvania and Vermont
registration fees are in lieu Of all other
taxes. Therefore, in making any com.
PARSONS In fees as between the several
states, this fact should be borne In
mind.

Motorcar frames are not mt oil rigid

since these points Of free contact are

remedy is to insulate the body from
