Who is the average motor vehicle
buyer?
A hard question to answer, be-
cause II very nearly parallels the
query who is the average citizenr'
But composite pictures are no;
lacking OF the motor vehicle buyer.
Probably the best statistics on the
buyer in existence are those gath
cred by the great acceptance cor
porations who annually finance mil
lions OF dollars worth of time pay
ment sales, who consider the auto
mobile borrower the. safest risk
they ever lent money upon.
One of these concerns. the Metro
politan Securities Company, of
Cleveland. Ohio. has supplied the
National Automobile Dealers Asso-
citation with an analysis OF $500
sales financed by them. selected at
random from transactions handled
by them up to May Is, 1922. Ford
car sales are not included in this
list, because this particular survey
was requested to get a picture OF
buyers above the Ford class.
This average purchaser has a net
equity in real estate of s4,2SG.os,
He has a net equity in personally
of s2.0793S. He has a definite
monthly income of s349.7o. He
purchases a car averaging Sl,36l.se
in cost, on which he pays down
s69s.31. He agrees to pay the bal
ance. s663.s5. in monthly INSTALL
ments of $3.50.

the Metropolitan Securities be-
tween January l and June /. 1922.

a car before and as per cent of that

PRESENT CONCRETE PROPOSALS
TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Abolition cf Several State Agencies,
Including Railroad and Public
Service Commissions
The State, S.h.

The State, S:h.
Many changes in the present form
of state government with I reorggnj-
zation of the diferen. departments
and a complete revision Of the AK
system so as to reduce the state mill
age from ~ to four mills are rec
cmmended 10 the general ASSEMBLY by
the joint legislative committee on
economy and consolidation that has
been investigating the various state
departments, boards, commissions, IN
stitu;ions and other agencies for the
past nine months. The report Of the
committee has just been completed
and was made public yesterday.
The committees report will oe sub
mitted to the general assembly early
in the coming session. A detailed in
vestigation was made Of every state
activity and the committee reports thai
much overlapping and bad manage
ment exists in the government.
Reduction of the genearl property
tax through the passage CT new rev.
enue acts is strongly advocated by the
committee. A levy of four mills is
recommended on visible property. To
meet the needs for revenue for the
operation of the government it is rec
commended that FIVE new sources of
revenue be tapped.
Four forms of tax relief and re-
ductions are recommended to reduce
the II mill levy of 1921 by two
thirds, as follows:
How to Save Losses
q. Permanent savings: Changes in
the organization of state agencies and
Improvements in their operating pro-
cedure will effect permanent reduc-
tions of s5O0,0OO year in state ap-
preparations.
"2. Deferred public improvements
Deferring building operations and
other permanent Improvements for
one year will reduce the appropria-
tions for 1922 as compared with
1921 by about S7750,G00.
IS. Improved fiscal control: Further
improvements in the states system Of
financial administration may reason
ably be expected IN 1922 TO result in
the saving of 100000; most of this
must be appropriated but improve
ments in procedure if brought about
during the year will result in IT'S re-
turn to the treasury. This direct saw
ing, though worth while, is only an
incidental result of further improve
ment in fiscal administration, the need
for which is primarily based upon the
fact that better system Of financial
management and control would have
in the past saved the state hundreds
Of thousands of dollars through pre-
venting in part at least the rapid IN
crease in the cost of state govern
ment and may be expected to save
large sums in the future when pros
perity again returns by preventing
the rapid increases that have charac
terized the past.
"a. Readjustments in tax system:
The general property tax may,
through the levying of new taxes, be
reduced in 1922 to four mills to be
used entirely for state aid to elemen-
tary and high schools; if it seems de-
sirable The amount to De rails
