oughfare such Il "bugaboo. " When
the Pennsylvania railroad located
their new $S0,000,000 terminal
across the street from the Chicago
& North Western $5O,O00,0O0 ter
minal in Chicago, on the west side
of the Chicago river, everyone lea
wing this depot in crossing any OF
the streets to the south side hotels
does so by taxicab or street car.
These may be held up at any
minute of the day, as every bridge
has a jack-knife draw, and is OPEN
ed not once, but many times dur
ing the day.
In listening to arguments as to
the difficulty in getting to the
Boardwalk from a railroad terminal
it seems ridiculous when compared
to the above statements. l do not
believe anyone stays away from
Chicago because they have to cross
the Chicago river to get to a hotel.
| fail to understand where it will
require any great feat of engineer
ing on the part Of the railroads to
locate their terminals north Of the
Thoroughfare, and consider it
quite as much to their interests as
to ours to provide railway facilities
that will not interrupt the progress
and expansion of this city.
There is only one direction in
which we can expect to expand and
that is TO the north over the mea-
dows, and with this thought in
mind, we must consider in the light
of future conditions, or find our
selves in parallel position with
Chicago, as noted in the foregoing.
cannot see where their new
$4,0OO000 terminal constitutes a
gift if it does not fit the con-
ditions. am thoroughly convinced,
and this is also the opinion of
many people with whom / have
talked, but who unfortunately do
not seem interested enough to eY-
press their views. That IF we
never expect to grow, the termin-
ais are alright where they are, but
as we do expect to srow,( and |
believe in 30 years this city will
be twice the size it is now,) we
must look and plan long ways
ahead. The greatest mistakes have
been made in doing things in a
hurry.
The railroad has been planning
for months on their terminal as
presented, and why do many people
tmping at conclusions, without any
study of the matter at ali, decide
on moments notice to accept Il
proposition on which they expended
no thought or consideration.
l think it is most regrettablc
that more of our prominent citizens
do not come forward and either
confirm or condemn the plans
which are offered us now, but on
which | can see no necessity for
being decided on too hastily.

EDITOR.

As stated in my last article,
every individual must file a return
if their Gross-Income is $4,000 or
more. The first step therefore, is
to determine the amount of this
Gross-Income.
If your income was derived solely
from salary or wages the entire
amount Is Gross-Income. Ii you are
in business, the figure Is obtained
by deducting the cost of the goods
sold from the total sales. the re-
nainder being Gross Profit. In the
case of professional men, the Gross
Profit consists of the total fees re-
ccived To this "Gross-Profit'
should be added any salaries
wages. rents. interest, or other In
come received, to determine the
'Eross-Income."
If the resulting figure, in either
case, is $4,000 or more, you MUST
fife return, regardless of the
amount of the Net-Iucome- If you
are married and living with your
husband or wife, and this amount
is less than $500 or if you are
single, or married and not living
With your husband or wife, and the
amount is less than $l,500 you need
not file.
~If, however, the Gross-Income is
less than $1,000 but more than
your specific exemption, the next
Step to determine whether you
Should file a return or not, is to

of Agriculture, consisting of not
more than z per cent of the total
mileage of roads in the State. This
has been done in all States.
States receive money according to
their population, area and mileage
of post roads in relation to the to.
tails of all the States. Each of
these phases are given a rating of
one.third in determining the amount
of money the State is to receive.
Aid Limited
Except in States where more than
S per cent of the area is unappro.
priated public land, the amount of
Federal aid received on any project
Is limited to so per cent Of the cost
of labor and materials. In the
States per cent or more OF whose
area is public land. the so per cent
allowance is increased by an amount
equal to one-half of the percentage
of public land in the State.
For example, under the above pro.
vision, Arizona is given 72.34 per
cent of the cost of the roads. Ne.
vada benefits to the extent OF 1912

MUST REPLACE
100000 CARS

DETROIT, Mich. Nov. 23.-The
owner of a worn-out car, truck or
bus looms UP today as a parsonage
of exalted importance, not only
to the manufacturer of motor cars,
trucks and buses. but to every
dealer in this country and in
Canada.
It is estimated that 2.10O. 900
sales this year viii go for replace
ment of obsolete vehicles, some
where around so per cent OF the
entire production, according to B.
H. Cram. president of Grams
Automotive Reports. industry au-
thority. The exact figure, of
course, cannot be accurately deter
mined until next year.
In view of the emphasis now
being placed on this phase of the
business an examination of past
history is of interest for the pur-
pose of estimating what the future
may possibly bring forth.
In the first twenty-five years of
the industry's history, 1856, 750
cars were manufactured. This
large number, which brings Us up
to the year 1920, has undoubtedly
gone into the discard.
In the period from 1920 to 1922
inclusive. 5,S25,95S cars were pro-
duced and from 1923 to 1926 in
elusive, 14,713,757 cars.
S2,OOO,0OO Cars Built
Total production up to January,
1927, was 1885, 63 cars and
S,253,743 trucks, an aggregate of
S2,649,2 06 vehicles.
Car registrations were 22,001, 1898
cars, and trucks, 2,764,222; a total
Of 24,765,615 units.
The difference between total pro-
duction and total registration is
7,SS3,591 vehicles. This total has
probably passed out of the pic.
ture entirely.
The point of most interest to
dealers and manufactures is the
progressive rate of increase in re.
placement sales, If any.
In the years from 1918 to 1921.
inclusive, the yearly replacement
market did not bulk so large. In
1918, 1914, 1917, and 1918, it did
not exceed 275, 900 cars in any one
year.

Nearly $4,000 miles of Federal aiG
roads were completed or under con
struction according to the latest
figures obtained June 80, 1927. Also
according to these figures, the sys'
tenn will include nearly 1856, 900 miles
of road when all highways now
proposed are completed. To build
these $4,000 miles Of road, more
than a billion and quarter dol.
lars has been expended. OF this
sum 44.7 per cent was spent for
concrete highways, 1871 per cent for
gravel and 8.3 per cent for bitumin-
Gus macadam; the rest of the money
was divided into smaller portions
among other types of roads.
State Must Maintain
According to the conditions under
which the money for roads Is given
each State. it must keep up its own
system. The plan briefly is this:
If any State fails to maintain
it's roads the Secretary of Agricul'
ture is authorized to repair the high
ways and charge the cost of the
repairs to the amount Of money the
Federal Government has on hand of
this particular States portion. The
money thus spent is deducted from
the money the State has coming and
all allotments are withheld from
this particular State until the
money has been paid back. When
the cost is refunded it Is re-
apportioned among all the States
so that the State falling to keep
UP the roads loses all but a
small sum.
Thus the States are anxious to
build roads that will require a
minimum amount of maintenance.
For this reason permanent roads
such as concrete are preferred. A
hard.surfaced thoroughfare requires
less cost to keep up and the money
formerly spent in upkeep of semi
permanent roads can be used in ex-
tending the States highway sys-
tenn.
Must BE IS Feet
Another provision of the Federal
aid system is that the minimum
width of roads be IS feet. This
minimum is maintained unless spe.
cial permission is obtained from
the Secretary Of Agriculture to re.
duce them in width.
for road building on the following
basis:
Before any State can benefit from
this act it must lay out a system,
to be approved by the Secretary
