MORE AUTOMOBILES IN JET.
FERSoN COUNTY

Jefferson County people are paving
taxes this year on 1855 automobiles
and trucks. according to the assess
or's records. The total assessed val
ne OF machines of all types is $751;
0f5. The increase in the number of
motor vehicles assessed this wear
over last is 289. the number assessed
last year being 1867. Their taxable
Vaiue last year aggregated S341,413.
Charles Town District with 557
machines leads the county in num-
bers. Of the total in the District
Z43 are IN the corporation of Charles
Town; rs in Ransom and 298 outside
the two incorporated towns. The
assessor found $40 machines and
trucks In Kabletown District: 200 in
Middleway District; 113 in the town
OF Shepherdstown, and 261 in the
District outside the town. The town
OF Hapers Ferry has 70; Bolivar SO.
with 225 in the District outside the
towns.
The number of machines have
practically doubled in five years. In
1920 there were only 934 cars as
sessed in the whole county. Their
value, however, was almost as great
as that of the 1856 on the assessors
books this year, the total assessment
that year being $341,100. The high
assessment in 1920 was due largely
to the fact that the World War infIa-
ton brought an unusual number of
new cars to the county in 1918. and
1919, all of them bought at higher
price than is now paid for them.
Charles Town people in 1920 had
only 140 cars. There were only 35
in Ransom and 105 in the District.
kabietown District could afford only
1877; Middlewav 1871; Shepherdstown
and District only 221; Harpers Fer
ry, Bolivar and the District 1872.
