BENTON LEADS IN
AUTO COLLECTIONS
One of Three Counties to Top Last
Years Record by Over Two
Thousand Dollars

Three counties already have ex-
ceeded their 1925 record for automo-
bills collections. They are Benton, Is
land and San Juan, and each county
by April 1, was more than $4,000
ahead of the grand total for last year.
Island and San Juan counties are
permitted by law to recover the whole
amount paid in for motor vehicle Ii
|censes and gas taxes and to expend
the money on local roads. They also
receive their pro rata of permanent
highway funds. State officials have
made casual inquiry to verify a
suspicion they have that the two IS
land counties conduct a campaign
among mainland residents to take out
licenses in the island counties but
even if the charge be true, officials
say the campaigning for outside bus
mess cannot be stopped.
That this is to be good year in
the automobile trade is indicated by
the fact that by April 1, dealers had
paid $SO,0O6 for licenses whereas
only S77,171 was collected in all of
1925.
