STATE INVESTS IN
NEW AUTOMOBILES
NUMBER OF LICENSES ISSUED TO
AUTORlSTS HAS PASSED THE
100000 MARK.
STATEMENT BY FRANK PAGE
Motor Vehicles Licensed in Six Years
Has Increased Four Hundred
Per Cent.

Idl6lSu
Fifty-one million dollars were in
vested in automobiles and trucks in
North Carolina during the year ending
October %, when the number of licen-
ses issued passed the 221 900 mark,
One year ago there We're 166,100
motor vehicles in the State 1886 of
which have gone into retirement, ac-
cording to figures compiled by j. e.
Sawyer, head OF the automobile Ii
cense bureau, leaving a total of 64-
S96 new vehicles purchased during
the ewelve months period.
In six years the number of motor
vehicles licensed to operate in the
State has increased 400 per cent, ris-
ing from 49,4S0 on September %,
1917, to slightly more than 221,000.
Six years ago the total value of
automobiles and trucks in operation
in the State was s39,200,000. Figuring
on the accepted basis of $500 as the
average value, the State has S176,000,
O00 The increase in fourteen years
has been about 5000 per cent.
Taxes levied on gasoline for the
maintenance of roads approxmates
now more than four times the value
of all the automobiles in the States
fourteen years ago. Mr.. Sawyer's
figures indicate. with present in
come from that source of more than
100000 monthly.
Enormously increased purchasing
power of the people of the State is
indicated to the average business man
in the figures. but to Frank Page, who
is building the roads that the auto
mobiles use 1t means fifty million
dollars worth OF destruction, while he
is spending about 25 million dollars
year for construction.
1T just means that while we are
spending twenty-five million dollars
building roads this year the people
of the State have two hundred million
dollars, nearly, invested in machinery
for tearing them down. l think that
road building in the State will never
catch up with the demand that is
made upon 1t.
Not that l am omplaining-that's
what these roads are for. We are
building them to ride on. The only
thing that worries me is whether we
are building a road that will be ade-
quate to the load it has to carry. Ten
years from now. l don't know where
we will be. Ten years ago We had
no use for such roads as we have
now Just now they are inadequate.
Road engineers are learning some
thing new every day about traffic.
Two years ago we didn't dream that
saind-clay roads would be subjected to
the punishment they get right now.
Maintenance is keeping them going,
but can't see the end OF 1t. 1t just
looks to me like we have got to keep
on spending money for road5-and
spending like fool-knowing that in
two years time it will look like we
have not spent enough"
