washed, the attendants can go over
the car with the water shut Of using
the compressed air which ranges
from so to i25 pounds pressure per
square inch. To blow out all the wa
ter from the joints and cracks.
A two.cyiinder compressor OF 7h
inches bore driven by a 20 horse
power oil engine Is ordinarily suf-
ficient TO maintain the air pressure
at 100 10 i2s pounds in a tank four
feet In diameter and nine feet long.
The car to be washed Is first cleaned
thoroly by the use OF compressed
air. which removes all dust and dirt
from the cushions. upholstery, top
and interior OF the automobile.
Then the car IL pushed forward
over n pit In the concrete floor in
which there are a number Of perfor.
ated pipes. Alongside the car are
also a series OF similar waterpipes
which spray water under pressure
over each wheel.
When the water is turned on and
the air pressure applied. the water
Is driven in fine streams all over the
running gear and nnderside OF the
machine. This softens and loosens
all the dirt. mud and grease on the
chassis.
Then the car i- moved forward
where other workmen go over the
running gear thoroly with rubber
hose equipped with supplementary
air pressure which are suspended at
regular intervals from the ceiling OF
the shop. They wash and biow ava y
all the filth and foreign matter.
Subsequently. the water valves
are closed and these workmen 20
over the car with the heavy air
pressure alone in operation. so as to
blow all the water from the crevices.
cracks and joints. Then the body OF
the car is washed and chamoised by
hand and finally IL is polished In a
similar manner.

Comparison of the figures compiled
by Supervisor Of Taxation John Mil
tor Thatcher and the records of the
state license department indicates
more than $4,000 automobiles and au-
to trucks lodged the county assessors
this year.
There were 1911 automobiles and
auto trucks reported by the assessors.
At the end of 1920 the state had Is
sued 1S0,514 licenses for these two
classes of motor vehicles. On Sept.
80 of this year the number was 183.-
1855.
Taking the smaller number, 1851
il is shown 1892 automobiles and au-
to trucks hid out on the assessors; on
Sept. 30 there were 46,401 known not
to be on the personal tax rolls. As an
average valuation of $276.48 was
placed on these cars by the state there
was loss of approximately $4,000
000 on personal property values and a
direct loss of revenue to the state on
personal taxes next year of about
$4,000, which is equivalent to about
ITO of a mill. Motor vehicle figures
also show discrepancy between the
number licenses and the number
taxed
Compilation of different classes OF
personal property reported by the
county assessors by Supervisor Of
Taxation Thatcher show the follow
ing totals, none of which is believed to
be an overcount:

Up to Oct. 1, the Department of Ii
censes had issued 189,139 motor We
hicle licenses as compared with 1856

the state, counties, etc. and 1856 mo-
tor cycles for the present year; 50l5

responding month of last year was
1870. There are two months left in

ment Oct. | were 100000 below the
