During May the number of autoino-
biles registered, at rs cents per regis
tration, dropped so low that the reve-
nue. to the county was approximately
5000 less than that secured during
April The decrease was caused, Hut
Gibson stated as his belief, because of
the small number of light cars bought
in the county, which iI turn came as a
result OF the purchasing public await
ing announcements on new model OF
a popular small car. The summer
months are accompanied by a natural
slump in the purchase and regiStra-
tion of cars, but the recent drop in
regis tration5l was unusually noticeable.
Approximately $4,000 in back county
taxes has been collected during the past

the tax attorney sought the present
owners and notified them ofethe status
Of their property. The owners were
