CONNECTICUT BIG
 INVESTOR IN AUTOS
S100,O0O,OOO States Contribu-
 tiOn to Motor Industry

Hartford. Dec, 2S-Approxlmately $l00000,oo0 is invested in motor vehicles in Connecticut this year, it has been dectrmined by applying to , the total number of registered ve- hicles the latest average of assessed 1 valuation for the state. This is slightly more than twice the invest land, which has recently been com iputed by the department of public roads of that state.
 As nearly as can be approXimated, i motor vehicle taxes and fees paid in Connecticut thus far this year, eX- elusive of federal taxes, and inci- dental fees, aggregate s6,722 ,017, of which the towns and cities in which the motor vehicles are owned receiv- cd about s2,100,Q00. and the state about s4,622,OQ0. These figures are computed by taking 21 mills as the average rate of assessment through out the state under the property tax, and by adding the receipts from the gasoline tax to the motor vehicle registration fees. Receipts from ad- ditional cars registered and the gas oline consumed in the last half Of this year will increase the total of taxes on the $l0O,000,000 investment to a figure well toward sS,000,00 by the end of the calendar year, but the investment itself will also be in creased by car purchases made in the meantime.
 The motor vehicle department an- lnually forwards to the board of as
 sessors In each town a list of the Automobiles registered by people of that town during the year, This is to prevent evasion of payment of the property tax. The money paid by motor vehicle owners to their own municipalities is used for gen. eral governmental purposes in their home towns. What they pay to the state is used exclusively for the i'm provement and extension of the state highways.
 A percentage of the state receipts come rom -.d-f I lIlbtpl NflIIClCo lf- gistcred in Connecticut but owned by outside individuals or corpora tions. Most of these "foreign' cars are owned in New York state. in which the owners of 1.300 are To- cated: Massachusetts comes second with 269. and New Jersey third, with t.GG, followed by Pennsylvania with HOO, Rhode Island with SC, Florida with so, Ohio with 7S, Illinois with I3G, Maine with go.
