maintaining private garages, storage
in public garages and parking lots,
fines or traffic violations, wages of
bus and truck drivers and private
chauffeurs, paint and supplies bought
by owners who do their own tinker
ing, damage caused by accidents,
(partly covered by items on insur-
ance,) and variety of incidentals.
These items probably bring the total
to $300,00O,O0O.
The estimates on new cars is bas-
ed upon the Secretary of States reg
isteration figures, which total 628,000
up to November Goth, as against 574,-
500 in 1925. About $4,000 cars have
been junked or removed from the
state, so there are 1850 new reg
istrations. Some of these are used
cars brought in from other states,
but probably 80 per cent are new.
The average price, delivered, is about
$3.50. The estimate on accessories
and financing allows for spare tires,
bumpers, interest, brokerage charges
and the like.
The gasoline cost estimate is bas-
ed on the State Oil Inspectors reports
on shipments into the state, with "a
cents as the average retail price.
The estimates on upkeep are taken
from statistics collected by the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, which gave the average ex-
penditure per car in 1925 at $35.
