NEW YORK now
CALLS AUTO
NECESS|
Automobile No Longer CIassed
As Pleasure
Vehicle.

Automobiles are officially recog-
nized by the State of New York as
a necessity and not luxury. The
State Tax Commission has amended
| it's 1924 application blank for the
registering of privately owned and
privately operated automobiles so
that this class Of vehicles win be
designated passenger car" instead
of pleasure car"
This changes q practice which has
been enforced since the first auto
mobile was registered, when cars
were actually pleasure cars and used
only as luxury.
In letter to Mr.. Edward A.
Moree, general manager of the AL,
tomobile Merchants Association Of
New York, Mr.. Robert j. Howard,
deputy State tax commissioner and
director Of the motor vehicle bu-
reau, thus describes the reasons for
the commissions action on this
point.
THE commission has decided upon
| this action because it agrees with
| the automobile merchants and the
owners of motor cars, that pri-
vately owned and privately operated
automobiles are, to all intents and
purposes, passenger vehicles, that
they are necessities and that IN the
largest proportion they are not lux
urieS."
Commenting on the action Of the
commission, Mr.. Moree said that in
presenting the desire of the auto
mobile trade for this change, he
found the commission most intelli-
gently alive to the needs Of the
automobile business.
Business men of the State are to
be congratulated on having in AL
bany q State Tax Commission that
endeaVors to fit the operation of
It's various bureaus to the needs OF
the people, said Mr.. Moree. I'm
his letter to me on this subject, Mr..
Howard said that in this, as in all
other matters, the commission de-
fsires to meet the business interests
OF the State more than half way in
adjusting the practice and procedure
of the department to the needs of
the people which the department
was created to serve.
Another change in the application
blank is in question No. 5, VIII oh,
| in the present blank. is as follows:
Years of manufacture" The new
blank will require the applicant to
state Manufacturers year"
This question In the past has
caused considerable difficulty. Con
troversies have arisen and even law
suits have resulted from the fact
that In filling out application blanks
for cars sold during the first few
months of every year, honesty COM
PEELED the dealer who sold abe car
to state that the car had been man
ufactured the year previous. The
purchaser knew he was getting
| new car, but when he come to the
point of selling this car. it bore the
evidence in the owners license of
being year older than it actually
was. Manufacturers year" makes
it possible for the dealer selling a
car manufactured In yearly models
to answer this question honestly in
the first three months of each yea
and still not make the car appea,
to be year older than it actuaiI}
was when II was delivered new,

MAKES RIDING
EASIER
Tighter Air Pressure Lessons
Road Shock and FacIIi-
tates Brakeing.

Considerable confusion has devel.
oped with. reference to the new
twenty inch automobile tire and
rim. This confusion has been some
what increased since the develop
rnent Of the balloon or low air
pressure tire.
The balloon tire Is being de-
yeIoped for passenger cars only
not for trucks and not for buses.
The tires great advantage Is its
ease Of riding. The easy riding
quality Is arrived at by carrying
very little air pressure in a large
section tire with smaller number
Of cord plies.
IN addition to the balloon type
of tire, according to Miller tire
men, there il g. passenger tire
for q twenty inch rim Of regular
construction and In addition, q
heavy duty truck cord tire.
Some inquiries received by tire
manufacturers indicate that there
is q conception that only the
balloon type of tire win be fitted
to the twenty inch rim. This Is
not the case. Several passenger
car sizes also use it, and some OF
the heavy duty sizes also. For
example, the 32x6 tire fits q TWEEN
ty inch rim.
An easy way to determine rim
diameter is to subtract twice the
cross section size from the height
Of the tire. In the 32x6, for ex-
ample, the cross section size Is s
ireEAs. Twice that is twelve inches.
Subtract that from 80 and the
result is 20 inches-the rim diam
eter.

Drivers of motor cars always
should be careful but in winter
when there is usually snow and
ice, on the ground or it is raining
they should be particularly careful
because the hazard is greater
Whether in the city or out on an
unfrequented road car speeds should
be cut down. It is, obviously, more
difficult to stop on a slippery street
than it is on q dry streefssand even
with skid chain equipment it is not
always possible to keep the car
straight when making quick stop.
The need for the abrupt stop would
not exist SO much in winter If the
speeds were cut down enough.
Skidding is dangerous for the car
doing 1t, for pedestrians and for
every other car because. a car is
out of control when 1t gets into a
good skid at speed. A slow skid
can generally be stopped in time to
prevent a curb crash or an en-
counter with another car.

Sec Recorll FOR Endurance.

Harold c'DareGeyil'O Lockwood
holds the worlds record for long
distance. nonstop endurance driv-
ing. He recently drove a passenger
automobile from Pittsburgh. Pa,
five days and nights without rest
or sleep, covering 1888 miles. He
was handcuffed to the steering
wheel. During the last twenty-four
hours, Lockwood never shifted
gears; he was too tired and weak
to do anything but steer the car.

Always remember, when skid
starts, to turn with it-not against
it. If the rear of the car slxids to
the right, steer to the right in order
to help straighten out the car. If
you steer against it you are likely
to spin around in circle. Remem-
Der also, not to turn the wheels
clear around in any direction. The
front wheels skid when you do that
and then they are no use in steering.
They steer only while they are roll
ing and they do not roll when they
are being pushed sideways.
If you should be in car tracks
and wants to get out, reduce your
speed as much as possible, and
