An automohiist stranded without gasoline on any road in Connecticut would have to walk not more than one and three-quaftrrs miles in either di- rectiou Co get the ail-important fuel if the licensed filling stations in the state were evenly distributed through out the entire highway system.
 There are. according t0 state motor vehicle department records, HpprOXi- fnataiy { f.GGG places in Connecticut where one may buy gasoline. The number at the close Of the fiscal year ended June 50. 1926. was 3,32i.

 In the past seven years. the number of gasoline filling stations in the state has doubled During the same inter val, the number of motor vehicles in the state has doubled. with l4.000 to spare. There is, therefore. one filling station for approximately every sew enty-one cars.
 The quantity of taxable gasoline sold at these stations tn the past fiscal year amounted t0 i30 ,299 653 ia gal Ions, making the aggregate sales of the average station about 33,000 gal Ions a year August was their busi- est month during which f5,ffss8l9 gallons were sold; May came next with sales of l3II1.4T9 gallons. and June, 9fth a record of f2.s232Gg gallons

Minnesota's average motor We
hicle last year yielded a $16.83

oline taxes, on official figures
given out this week from state
departments in the capitol in St.
Paul. Average taxes ON various
tag or plate classes of autos and
trucks and estimates prorating
gas taxes on different classes as

ford accurate ideas of tax aver
ages on motor vehicles in Pine

More than half of the Mime
sofa owners paid an average of
S15.35 on passenger automobiles
and the others about $25.35 in
combined auto and gas taxes
during 1925. Those were the
only taxes on the machines, and
their only contributions toward
improving the main highways to
reduce car operating expenses.
At the 1925 rate, $15.25 would
have been the personal property
tax on an $500 automobile if
levied in Minnesota. The auto
mobile tax last year continued
lower than that under the old
personal property tax and state
license laws and lower than the

Present indications for this
year are that auto tax cuts of
from Is to 80 per cent, due to
the reduced rates and lower list
prices of cars, will be partially
offset by the full year receipts
from the gas tax which was in
effect but eight months this
year and further increases from
larger numbers of cars in the
state. Many predictions are for
smaller trunk highway income
during 1926, meaning further
curtailment of needed highway

DYREBORG ACCEPTS

Officers of the local Danish
Lutheran church have received
reply to the call sent Rev. 0. H.
Dyreborg of Junction City, Ore.
Jan. II, stating that he accepts.
This was announced in the church
Sunday by Rev. S. D. Rodholm
who is also president of the Da-
nish Lutheran Church of Amer
lea, and as such those matters
go through his hands.
Several meetings have, been
held by the local congregation
for the purpose of selecting a
successor to Rev. S. D. Rodholm
who was chosen last summer at
the annual conference of the
Danish Lutheran church to be
head of Grand View College, Des
Moines, to take effect in the
summer of 1926. All the meet
ings, however, have resulted in
sending but two calls previously
those to Rev. V. S. Jensen and
Rev. Evald Kristensen-the lat
ter being unable to accept on &C
count of arrangements made for
some time at Atterdag College,
Solvang, Calf.
Rev. Dyreborg was for a num-
Der of years instructor at Ka-
lundborg (Denmark) "Realskole"
corresponding to the American
high school. He came to Amer
lea in 1924 and completed his
studies for the ministry at Grand
View College, being ordained
last summer. Immediately fol-
lowing he and his family left
for Junction City, Ore, where
he has since been pastor. Rev.
Dyreborg visited Askov last
summer at which time he preach
ed in the church and also gave a
lecture, making deep impress
sion with local folks.

the confrmants few. With a
large and growing congregation
here, comparatively, and field
for much work this should be a
good place for Rev. Dyreborg,
who has the capacity to fill a
larger field. The community will
welcome him and his family here
and express the hope for good
and fruitful work, as will the
community. also wish the retiring
pastor, S. D. Rodholm, success in
his new field at Grand View Col
lege. 1t is expected that the
Dyreborg family will come to
Askov the latter part of July
or the fore part of August.
