on September 80 the registrations
for 1927 to date amounted to $685.
O28 motor vehicles with a total
revenue collected of $10,075, 465.97.
"This means that we have passed
the total of the registration for the
whole year of 1926" said Mr..
Holm. We have already registered
more motor vehicles for 1927 than
were registered for 1926 at the end
of the year ana nave collected $94,-
667,33 more in revenue"
1t is interesting to note that
there not only is an increase in
revenue but the average tax per
vehicle is also somewhat higher, be-
ing $15.79 in 1927 as compared
with $15.7l in 1925. With three
months left to go the prospects are
that by the end of the year, Mime
sofa will be well on toward the total
of 100000 motor vehicles.
