USED CARS ARE
SERIOUS ISSUE
Half of Sales Made on Basis

BY ALVIN MACAULEY
president Packard Motor Car G,

The used car problem is the most
serious issue now before the motor
car industry. 1t need hardly be ex-
plained that by the used car prob

methods and practices of handling
sales involving trades and of dispos.

Six or eight months ago. when
trade conditions were stagnant and
thousands of replaced cars were
choking the of distribution.
everyone was discussing this situa.
ton; they were compelled to do so.
When business revived and the dis

1T Is a matter OF undisputed rec.

that occur result from the neglect of
the individual pedestrian and less
than five per cent are caused by the

today as heretofore. Used cars are
being sold without regard to the over.
head cost. Used cars are being ac-
copied On an e~xtravsSant basis of
valuation.
The overhead cost of selling a used
vehicle. according to prevailing ex
p%erience, is hardly less than the cost
of selling a new vehicle. Counting
the labor necessary to put the re.
placed car into a salable condition. the
average overhead of such sales is
certainly not less than 10 per cent.
Nevertheless, 1t is not ar nxagGera-
ton to say that, except in n very
small percentage of cases, the used
or replaced vehicle is sold quito re-
gardless Of this.
On the of valuation. most oh
agree that the case Is as bad.
l have heard various estimates from
competent persons. On the whole, I
believe that the average valuation al.
lowance Is about $500. and hat the
average loss in closing out these
vehicles will run not less thar 10 per
cent. In other words, the prevailing
practice Is such that there is being
incurred in all used car transactions
a valuation loss of at lenst 10 per
cent and another loss of 10 per cent
more due to the non-accounting OF
overheard costs. The figures covering
the situation are interesting.

CalexicO Cuts
City Tax Rate

CALEXICO, September 5.-Calex-
leo s city tax rate has been cut
80 cents this year, reduced from
$l.l4 for the Iisca- year just clos
ed to 75 cents for 1923-24.
And this despite the fact that
Calexico S assessed valuation was
lowered from $6,497 ,099 in 1922 to
$6,370,569 in 1928, a drop of $780,
531.
The city fathers state. however,
that despite this drastic cut of "a
per cent in the tax rate the funds
to be raised will cover the city S
budget for the coming year, which
calls for the expenditure of $116,-
1914, a sum in excess last of
year S budget, which was $S9,117.17.
