FIGURING OUT
NEXT YEARS TAX
New Method Of Computing the
Registration Fee Must
Be Employed.

When New York States motor vehicle
year opens next February a brand new
method OF computing the registration
fee must be employed, one which calls
for payment not only on the horsepower
but also on the original list price Of the
car, fully equipped. The bill, which be-
came a law Thursday afternoon, had
been In the hands OF the Governor since
the close OF the Legislature. hearing
being held last Tuesday afternoon In the
Executive Chamber. The change and In
crease In the registration fee will bring
q couple of million dollars or more addi-
tional revenue to the State. Instead or
the receipts being divided equally, as at
present, between the State and the re-
epective counties, the State will here
after receive rs per cent and the coun-
ties but 25 per cent.
The new law provides for a divided
and graded tax, in the first instance APP
plying to the horse power as exists under
the present registration system. the
added new feature being a graded tax
based on the list price OF the car ac-
cording to its age.
Thus the fee will be Is cents per horse
power, plus 40 cents per each s1p0 OF
the list price, for the first three years
after It's manufacture during the fourth
and nth years. 20 cents per each 800
of the list price for the sixth year and
thereafter, 10 cents per each 800, the 2b
cents per horsepower remaining con-
slant each year.
For example. taking a 1919 well known
car costing fully equipped the sum Of
$500; the registration fee on the horse
power would amount to $5.62. plus 40
cents for each 800 cost price. or s2.36,
making a total registration fee for the
car of $7.sS.
In all cases the total registration
fees on six cylinder cars shall not be
less than $40 and on four cylinder cars
not less than So.
Despite the coming increase in reg
istration fees, New York State motor
lists. enjoying. as they do. over 5000
miles OF improved highways in this
State, will not be called upon to pay
an excessive amount when compared
with many other States. For instance.
the registration fee In a number Of
the adjoining States on cars OF about
the horsepower Of q Ford elbows that
in Pennsylvania the fee is $40. with no
added tax; Massachusetts, $40. per-
sonal property tax in addition: Con-
necticut. s11.25. personal property tax
in addition: New Jersey. $3.50. per-
sonal tax in addition: Ontario. $40, no
added tax; New Hampshire, SIS. per-
sonal tax in addition.
While the new method OF computing
ones registration fees appears on frst
sight to be rather bewildering. Secre-
tary OF State Francis NJ. Hugo is al
ready planning means of aiding the
| motorfst TO correctly figure out the
amount which he must pay the State.
1t ia quite likely that when the renewal
cards are mailed out next December
Mr.. Hugo will include a chart giving
the listed price of practically all the
popular cars. the horsepower and q
clearly worded explanation, which will
enable the automobiles to figure out
his fee without any great trouble.

In Fine broadway Headauarters.


The Automobile Dealers Association.
Inc. Of New York city has taken pos
session OF its new club rooms at 1S45
Broadway. About 100 tradesmen meet
there daily to lunch and discuss busi-
ness. Judging from the manner In
which the new club Is being patronized,
It viii be but a short time when the
membership limit will be reached. as
the two floors of the building which the
club occupies are comfortably filled each
day. About twelve new names are added
to the membership list each day since
the announcement was made that the
dealers association had arranged to per-
NIT any one in the motor trade to join
the organisation as an associate member.
The house committee IL planning a
number Of social events, among them
being. a supper dance to be held the
latter part Of May The golf COM
mittee is arranging a golf tournament
for members. while other committees are
actively planning features which will
add to the social activities OF the organ
ization.
A number Of manufacturers OF mo-
tor cars and accessories have taken out
nonresident memberships in the club,
for which special rate Is charged.
One Of the first nonresident members
was Major Guy Wall. chief engineer of
the National factory.
THE new club rooms are splendid
for the local trsdesmen, who now have
a place TO meet. lunch and enjoy them
selves" says William C. Poertner. vice.
president of the dealers association.
New York needed Just such a club as
this one. Other cities. smaller than New

this matter, and good results have been
accomplished through cooperation due to
the getting together of the tradesmen.

out the necessity of demonstrating this
to an examiner is still under discussion
1t may be a matter OF two or three
years or 1t may be a matter of Ave
years. but in any case the operator who
has figured in an accident during the
period decided upon will be required to
show the State examiners that he is now
fully competent to hold an operators
license.
The enforcement OF this new phase of
the motor vehicle law Ia expected to
lessen the number OF accidents in New
York city. which have Increased 80 per
cent. in the past year. The law provides
that the Secretary of State can revoke
and suspend licenses of an operator or
chauffeur upon tho recommendation OF
any Judge or City Magistrate.

Tires and OIL,

For the benefit OF the hundreds OF
thousands Of new car owners which
this season OF the year produces let US
say again: Oil is the greatest enemy
of India rubber. Mineral oils are not
as bad as animal oils or fats, but keep
the tires away from all OF them. Don't
let pools OF oil gather on the garage
floor. and anyway keep the tires out Of
oil II you do allow 1t to gather.
