more baskets Ely changed its tactics

$3.50 AUTO TAX
AVERAGE FOR 1924.
TRUCKS AND BUSES MAKE
GROSS AVERAGE OF $16.72
AGAINST SIC FORMERLY.

st. Louis county automobile own
ers paid about $3.50 average tax
On their automobiles last year.
That was the average Minnesota
tax on automobiles, exclusive of
trucks and buses, also miscellane-
Gus revenue.
The figures are based on official
1924 totals from the Office of Mike
Holm, secretary of state, showing
$8,523,314.25 from 509,801 motor
vehicle registrations. The gross
average for the year is $16.72 on
all registrations, with penalties.
This is comparable with nearly $19
when machines were listed with per-
sonal property and also with the
general average tax of $20.35 in
all the states.
Official 1924 registration figures
with averages on different classes of
cars and trucks follow:

Automobiles of the "a plate class,

estimated, 80 cents or more of the
1899 average on 'B' cars is also

tax average is probably less than

provement. 24S549 miles.
Taking up the subject of through
highways, Mr.. Snedeker pointed out
that neither the constitutional
any mention of such routes. but that
the State Road Commission had seen
the necessity for them and had
created four main trunk lines on its
own initiative, by utilizing county
seat connections and connections
with important roads of adjoining
states, Some few newsp apers, he
said. have accused the Commission of
ignoring these routes, but on the con-
trary the Commission had expended
upon them up to June 80 total of
6,052.116.77, which included the
greater part ofthe reserve fund and
large sums from appointments of
counties through which these routes
pass
The speaker pointed out that these
four routes have a total length of
slightly more than one thousand
miles, and that to complete them is
an enormous task. which will involve
a total outlay of approximately
100000, 100000 including all work
that has been done and that must
still be done.
He said that the Midland Trail is
now virtually completed. and that the
other three are far on the way to
completion.
Mr.. Snedeker pointed out, that
while through routes are of great
Importance, nevertheless the policy
of the people of West Virginia, as
expressed in the constitution and
good roads law, has been to build
good local roads first. Thes reason
for this, he said. is that an over
whelming part of all travel is local.
and good local roads help the aver
age man to make a bettre living for
himself and his family. However. he
stated that West Virginia is no long
er in the bad roads class and will
soon have good local and good
through highways.
The general increase in wealth due
to good roads, he said, would have a
marked effect in the welfare of the
State, and would relieve the big COM

CHEVROLET MAKES ANOTHER
RECORD

Detroit, Mich. Sept. 26.-The
Chevrolet Motor company has added
another record to the series of sales
and production marks established
this year.
The new record is represented by
the deliveries to Chevrolet dealers
during August. A final check of
August deliveries places the figure at
41,500. a larger number of cars than
the company ever has placed with its
dealers during any preceding August.
The August deliveries even ex-
ceeded those made during either June
or July of this year,
The achievement of the August re-
cord preceded by only few days
production of the two-millionth car
by the Chevrolet Motor company, the
first manufacturer of seleetive gear
shift automobiles to attain that fig
ure.
Maintenance of deliveries through
the summer months is cited by r. II.
Grant, general sales manager of the
Chevrolet Motor Company, as en-
dorsement of his statement made
several months ago that the automo-
bile industry is approaching a more
stable and uniform basis.
Eventually automobile production
will be nearly uniform throughout
the year. he said. "The seasonable
peaks and valley of production are
being flattened out"
