Tebbetts Completing W e lU Metropolitan
 Garage Contract

Jack Tebbetts and company. who are installing all the equipment in the new Metropolitan Fireproof garage, have just completed the installation of the oiling system, which will be @ model found nowhere else in the Southwest.
 The system is underground. and is worked by air pressure, delivering seven grades of oil to each floor, and to the outside service station.
 The great advantage of this system is it's cleanliness, no dirt or waste hav- ing a chance to work its way into the oil tanks, and thence into motor crankcases. The air control is operat- ed by a Boyle Dayton Model AT air compressor, which will also supply ample air to all the air hose throughout the building.
 The Tebbetts company has also com pleted the installation of the 2,000 gall lon gasoline tanks, which are under ground, also. Two big Boyle-Dayton air controlled pumps are used to supply the trade on the ground floor. while the fleet of wheel buggies on each floor will also be taken care of, enabling cars to be filled without moving them.

Uniform LaLU DratDs
 Praise or Experts

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22-Prafse Tor the uniform code of traffic laws drawn up by the executive committee of the International Traffic Officers association at their recent Cleveland meeting, is being received from many different sources. reports Lieut. Dan Sylvester, president of the great traffic officers organization, who presided over the conference. Sylvester is head of the San Francisco traffic bureau.
 Traffic experts from all over the united States and from other. countries as well have sent word to us of their hearty approval of the proposed code and congratulated the association upon the completion of this gigantic task" says Sylvester.
 "A number of the special safety-first provisions of the code which is to be presented to every state in the country for approval and adoption, came in for a special share of favorable comment. The proposal favoring the use of H. luminated' license plates as a protec- tion against night accidents has met with the enthusiastic approval of all who have heard of the new code.
 Other provisions which have also met with favor in the opinion of the motoring public as well as the traffic experts, deal with standardization of stop signs at railroad grade crossings. minimum age limit, stricter control of the issuance of operators and chauffeurs licenses, standardization of headlight lenses, and the regulation of maximum weight of load and of speed in the operation of trucks on the highways of the nation"

 Comparison of these registration fig ures with population figures of the 1920 census shows that there is now one motor vehicle for every HIS per sons in the country. as compared with one for every 13.S persons year ago. If the number of autos continues to increase at the present rate there will be one car for every family five years from now.
 Iowa no longer can claim the honor of having more autos according to population than any other state. It has dropped to fourth place, Nebraska South Dakota and California having jumped ahead. Nebraska, the present leader, has one car for every 5.s per sons, South Dakota one for every 6.1 and California one for every 6.2. Iowa has one for every 6.6 persons.
 It is interesting to note that if Ne braska's average was maintained throughout the entire country, there would now be 17.s12,o00 cars and trucks in use, almost doubel the pres ent number. This is vital comparison in figuring the possible "saturation point"
 New York, which leads with the to- tai number of cars, has only one for every 15 persons. Ohio ranks little better. having one for every 9.3. Penn sylvania now has one for every 14.s persons, and Illinois one for every 11.2 These figures show indisputably that more families in the agricultural re- gions own cars than in industrial sec tions.
 Texas and Oklahoma, the two states which furnish most of the gasoline and oil used by motor vehicles. showed large gains which reflect their pros perity. Texas registrations increased BOA per cent, while Oklahoma spurted ahead from 144,500 to 219,21S, a gain of 40.6 per cent. Mississippi also showed an exceptional gain during the year, jumping from 45,0S0 to 50, 1000.
 The gain showed by the District of Columbia--55.4 per cent-is attributed to the fact that more Maryland motor ists are now taking out district licenses. There is no reciprocal agreement be- tween Maryland and the district and motorists desiring to travel in both places must have two licenses
 The gains made by every state con- stitute the best proof that the auto motive industry still continues its era of almost unlimited expansion, says the Goodrich company. A year ago critics of the industry asserted that no future year would show an increase com parable with that of 1919-that the saturation point" was almost reached | and that replacement business would constitute large part of the manu- | lecturers business from then on. Yet a still greater gain is shown this year and the end is not yet in sight

BY O. r. AUSTIN
SiaR;,'cicn. Tie National City Bank
ofNew Yorh

Just 1S1 years ago the Congress
of the United States was bidding
adieu to Wall Street, where it had
associated with the money power
for a fve-year period, returning
temporarily to its scenes of former
activity at Philadelphia, whence it
was to finally remove to the new
capitol to be established on the
Potomac.
Few Of the thousands of people
who pass the historic spot at the
corner of Wall and Nassau streets,
but a few feet from the doors of
The National City Bank of New
York, are mindful of the stirring
events which occurred during the
five years in which it was the abid.
5rg place OF Congress.
"A New York Eighth Capitol
y II was in 1885 that the Congress
of the Confederation, after a de-
cade of wandering in search of a
permanent abiding place, estab-
!ished itself in the modest old City
Hall, which then stood at the cor
ner of Wall and Nassau streets.
During the period of its existence,
which began at Philadelphia in
1774, it had held session in no less
than seven different cities and
towns, thus making New York the
eighth capitol of the United States,
while Washington became in its
turn the ninth capitol.
Koo% ~, III d..
The peripatetic life which Com
gress had led during the decade be-
fore settling down in New York
had been in large degree due to the
necessity of hurried moves to pre-
vent the Capitol and the Congress
falling into the hands of the British.
The first movement from the
original meeting place, Philadel-
phia, occurred in 1916, when the
British were preparing to move up
on that town, and the December
session of that year, 1916, was held
at Baltimore.
With the danger of an immediate
occupation of Philadelphia tenn
porarily removed, however. the
Congress returned to that citv In
March, 1777. But with another
movement of the British in that
direction, it hastily removed to
Lancaster. Pennsylvania, where it
remained but for three days, re-
moving thence to York on the-op-
posite side of the Susquehanna.
where it spent all of that terrible
winter in which Washington was
at Valley Forge.
Returns to Old Quarters
On the evacuation of PhiladeI-
phia by the British in 1878, Con
gress returned TO its old quarters in
that city, remaining there until
1888. Owing to some misunder-
standings with the Philadelphia
authorities, it removed over night
to Princeton, New Jersey. At
Princeton it completed its session
and there adopted a plan for the
creation of two permanent capitol
cities, one to be located on the
Potomac and the other on the Della

debt of the Confederation; second,
the full payment of the domestic
debt, which had fallen far below
par in its market value; and, third,
the assumption by the Government
OF the debts incurred by the re-
spective states during the revolu-
ton. The first proposition, for full
payment of the foreign debt met
with no opposition, and that for the
payment of the domestic debt was
opposed by many but received a
majority vote
Imperial Valley press., 1921-12-28
Opposition is Aroused

The third proposition, that the
Government of the United States
should assume the debts created by
the respective states during the
Revolutionary War was bitterly op-
posed and its final settlement re-
suited incidentally in the goodbye
of Congress to Wall street. The
opposition to payment by the Gov
ernment of the claims of the re-
spective states was bitter and long
drawn out, much of the opposition
being based upon the assertion that
the claims had been already bought
up by spectators and that the as
sumption by the Congress under

date set for the next session, the
first Monday in December, 1870,
and remain there until the year
1900, by which time the Capitol
buildings and presidential residence
would be ready for, occupancy.
And this is how it happened that
13l years ago Congress was tear
fully packing its belongings at the
corner of Wall and Nassau streets
preparatory to the trip to Phila-
delphia, which was then a matter
of several days instead of couple
CT hours as at present.

of Washington. One of the first
important questions laid before the
Congress had been that of the as
sumption by the Government of the
existing debts of the Confederation
and those which the states had
created during the revolution The
foreign debt amounted to $4,000
Imperial Valley press., 1921-12-28

that date would not be materially
beneficial to the states themselves
Most of these claims were held in
the North, and as a result, the
members from the northern states
favored the proposition, while
those of the South were almost
solidly against it and succeeded in
temporarily defeating this feature
of the measure.
How it Was Settled

ware; the sessions pending the con-
structlon of the proper buildings at
the new capitols to be held alter
nately at Annapolis and Trenton.
Lure of Great City
The session of 1883 was held at
Annapolis and that of 1884 at Tren-
ton, where it appears that the lure
of the great city of New York,
which had then a population of
$4,000, overturned the double capi-
tol plan, and in January, 1885, the
Congress removed to New York,
where it was granted the use of the
City Hall.
All of the meetings. up to this
time had, of course, occurred under
the Articles of Confederation,
which, however, had proven un-
satisfactory. and when the ninth
state ratified the proposed Constitu-
ton, in 1888, the Congress, then in
session in New York, hastily passed
measure requiring that the vote
for the President, provided by the
new Constitution, should occur on
the first Wednesday in January,
$780," that the electoral votes
should be cast on "the first We'd
nesday in February" and that the
President should be inaugurated on
''the first Wednesday in March"
AS it happened that the first We'd
nesday in March fell upon the
fourth day of that month, the date
March 4th," as the beginning of
the term of the President and Con-
gress, was thus permanently estab-
lished.
Inauguration is Delayed
With the limited facilities of COM
munication and travel which char
acterized those days in which the
telegraph, the wireless, the railroad
or the flying machine had not yet
been dreamed of, the official report
of the election did not reach Cen
eral Washington at his home in
Virginia until April IA, 1889, and
because of the time occupied by his
journey thence to New York, his
actual Inauguration did not occur
until April 80, 1889. Meantime, the
-enterprising citizens o; New York,
realizing that the dignity of Con-
gress and President under the new
Constitution required more suitable
surroundings than those offered by
the old City Hall, had contributed
$32,500 for the improvement of that
building, and it was renamed Fed
eral Hall" and thus became the
meeting place of the First Congress
under the Constitution and the
place in which Washington took
the oath of Office as the first Pres
ident of the United States.
