apparently the first city in West

ture Of furniture. Oak and other
hard white lumber is daily being re-
ceived in this city by the Cisco Plan
ing Mill CO., which company manu-
features lumber into furniture.
Porch furniture and various other
types OF high grade furniture Is
manufactured here. The mill now
has orders for several carloads Of
furniture. Il has been added by the
West Texas Chamber Of Commerce,
according TO y. +. Bennett, Dis
trict Manager, who was In this city
this week. that the conditions which
warrant the successful manufacture
Of furniture in Cisco may be dupli-
Gated elsewhere in West Texas. High
freight rates from Eastern and Mid
die Western furniture manufactur-
ing centers are by no means the
least factor in the development Of
the furniture manufacturing idea
in West Texas as exemplified by

Auto Registration Fees Responsible
 for Million and Half Increase

Receipts of the state motor vehicle department for the first nine months of the year aggregated $3,463,728.- 30, exclusive of the returns from the gasoline, tax, according to figures made public at the department. This is an increase of $1, 4,305!23, or 97.6 per cent, over the departments receipts for the corresponding period of last year.

 Most of the increase of $1,404,- 305.23 came in automobile registrar tion fees, the gain in this division being $1,208,772.9 The second greatest gain was in the receipts from the issuance of operators li- censes, an increase of $188,392 be- ing shown in that item. This money is spent by the state for the benefit of motor vehicle users, as by law, it is transferred in it's entirety to the state highway department for re-, pairs and maintensnce of state high ways. .A
 Receipts of the department for the third quarter of the year aggre- gated $308,096.96, an increase of $125,118.47 over the receipts for the third quarter of 1921. Nearly IT, 900 motor vehicles were registered during July, August and September, whereas less than 14,000 were reg istered in the same period of last year.
