GREATEST PER CAPITA WEALTH
IN AUTOS FOUND in CALIFORNIA.
SOUTHERN CLUB RECORDS REVEAL

The greatest per capita wealth in
automobiles of any state in the
uHion is found in California;, ac-
ccrding to the statistical depart
mpnt of the Automobile Club of
Southern California, which has been
compiling figures for last year. The
conclusion is reached following an
announcement of the registration Of
motor vehicles as of January !, 1926.
This shows that the state has to-
ia of l,J6l ,944 vehicles of all kinds.
OF the total, 2l4,74j are trucks and
bUSScS.
Estimating the California popula
tion at 100000 and the average
cost of each vehicle at $1,000 it is
shown that the people at large have

three and Il third persons. This
equipment theoretically would move
The entire population of the state in

carry provisions and other neccssi-
ties for an extended tour.

the state increased last wear nearly

The erection Of 5000 club house.
The lS-holc course is well situated
lying about three-quarters of mile
due west of Galcyi"o. on the opno-
site side of New River from the
town. Many natural hazards will

PONY CLASS OF

last few months regarding the ear

tor enthusiasts who wish 10 keep
their expenditures as low rs pos

ciamoring tor and expecting the
samo motoring cpuvenicnces that
are being enjoyed jr owners Of

These neoplc are demanding
,liiirg gear transmission, adequate
brakes, efficient cooling systems,
greater room in the enclosed models
and greater riding comfort, accord
ny 10 l.. j. McCracken. manager

pany.
q" Eighty percent of the "pony'
car demand is for enclosed models, -
said McCracken. 'EThe price must

This field is big one to contend

ties, there are q total of S44,SH
registrations. Los Angeles county rs
easily in the lead with 5SS.3'7 -
hiclcs of all kinds, or more than o.
third of the state total.
Southern California also is the
heaviest contributor to the state
revenue from motor vehicles, includ'
ing gasoline tax aud license fees.
Approximately S23,O0O,OOO is collect
ed from motorists, or nearly 50 FOR
every man, woman and child in the
state. The l3 southern counties
paid 57.4 per cent of the total.
Although leading the country IN
per capita automobile wealth, it is
pointed out bv the Automobile club
of Southern California that the end
is not vet, and that it is probable
that 1926 will register a larger in
crease than 1925. This will mean an
addition during the year of between
10000 and 100000 new vehicles.
With such a prospect, ii seems that
he contention Of the big motoring
organization is borne out that the
time has come when the highway de-
vclopment program of the state
should be placed strictly on an en-
ginccring and economic basis.
