bus LINES CARRY
HEAVY TAX COSTS
A. A. A. Survey Shows Auto
Carriers Bear Big
Burden.

Although motor bus lines now occupy
an important place In the TRANSPORTS
ton life Of the Nation, they are the
heaviest taxed common carriers and
show an average net income of only 1877
per cent after deducting taxes, according
to q survey Of motor bus operating costs
just completed by the National Motor
Bus Division of the American Autonno-
bile Association.
The A. A. A. Bus Division pointed out
that the operating cost study revealed

Legislation Desired.
zone of the outstanding needs at the
present time" says the statement, lis
adequate legislation governing interstate
operations. This Is now before Con-
Rress, and bus agencies throughout the
country are hopeful Of favorable action
at the approaching session Of Congress"
The A. A. A. survey is based on
compilation Of the operating statistics
and costs Of 100 conmon-carrier motor
bus companies, running q total OF 6,4l4
buses. or 1877 per cent Of those IN the
United States. These companies were
segregated according to the conditions
under which they operate. including
long distance and city operations.
Considering that there were 46,56S
common carrier rotor buses in the
country at the close of 1928, the A. A.
A. bus division developed the following
interesting statistics regarding the av-
erage bus:
Each bus serves SIS miles Of route and
has an average seating capacity for 81
Il operates a total Of $4,000 miles
during q year and carries 35,00s pas
sengers.
It earns a total revenue of approx
mately $S,0S1, of which "a per cent
comes from fares.
Expenses incidental to operation
amount to $7.408. of which S2.853 went
for wages and salaries, In addition to
$537.s0 for local, State and Federal
taxes.
The statement continues: while the
above figures are significant, 1t should
also be borne In mind that they are
based on the number of BUSES owned.
For every four buses in operation one
is held in reserve to provide for ener-
gencies and charter service. Average
figures. however, while giving an inter-
esting picture of this transportation
system. have little practical value, due
to the fact that the hexibility and
adaptability of the motor bus permit its
successful operation under wide va
riety Of highly contrasting circum-
stances which radically influence costs
and performance"

AUTO POUND SYSTEM
IS FOUND effective
San Antonio Police See Plan Best
Way to Enforce Parking
Ordinances.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN ANTONIO, Textile best way
to enforce parking ordinances against
thoughtless motorists, In the belief OF
San Antonio police, Is the automobile
pound system.
The innovation has spread to many
cities since San Antonio originated the
idea eight years ago. Most motorists
here have been educated by years Of
trial and chagrin. They know it does
not pay to stop In no parking" areas,
or park too long.
Wrecking trucks cruise San Antonio's
congested downtown district In search
of traffic violators. When police spot a
car whose owner has overstayed his
time, it goes to the pound. Police say
the sight of these wreckers has won
derful psychological effect" on drivers.
Innumerable car owners, irate at
finding their vehicle stolen in broad
daylight" have tried to get somebody
fred" or eliminate the pound idea. In
stead they pay 90 fine before the car
is retrieved.
"The pound system is great" says
Phil Wright, fire and police commits
sioner. who started this means Of re-
lieving San Antonio's trafic problem
we will keep 1t as long as I have
anything TO do with it."

The contract awarded for the Is

there Is no gravel In the virgin wooded
