MOTORISTS DIGEST
BY CLAYTON GRAFT.

The American Automobile Associa-
ton estimates that a revenue of at
least 10000 900 will be exacted from
motorists in the year 1929 in gasoline
taxes alone. In 1919 three States
Colorado, North Dakota and Oregon
adopted nominal gasoline tax of l
cent per gallon to raise funds for high
way improvements, and the motorists
willingly submitted to such a plan as
fair and placing the burden where it
belonged. Now every State in the Union
and the District of Columbia has
adopted this method of raising money,
with increases occurring with alto
gether too much regularity. Many are
now collecting cents and one 6 cents
per gallon. In only four States and
the District Of Columbia has the tax
remained stationary for any length of
time. Many of the States have bills
now pending in their Legislatures ask
ing further increases, some of which
will be applied for purposes other than
to do with motoring. Florida for in
stance, proposes to saddle on the auto
mobile owners through this medium an
indebtedness that was incurred bv prop
erty owners at a time when highways
were aiding them to reap millions from
increased land values. In several States
funds so raised are being diverted for
the support of schools. Senator Brook

seems the best solution With such rapid
strides to place air travel into nSqsps-
nence, 1t causes one to wonder II the
automobile will some day find a resting
place with the stage coach.
One Of the largest automobile fac
tories that haG trouble finding trained,
competent men for their important as
signments decided several years ago
to tnaugurate an automobile school of
technology. 1t started with an enroll
ment of 20 students and met with in
slant success. Today it has broadened
out to cover every phase of the bust
ness, with an enrolment of over $500.
Some of the courses extend over a
period of four years.
A large mail order house, with head
quarters in Chicago, has consistently
added about everything possible to
its line of automobile accessories.
Now comes the report that 1t has
completed arrangements with a promi-
net automobile factory to produce a
small popular priced car to be distrib-
uted through mail order channels.
The United States Bureau of Publ
Roads recently released figures on moto,
car registrations in the United State
for 1928. With a total of 24,493 124
vehicles and an estimated population of
100, 100000 people, there was approx
mately one automobile for every five
persons last year. The rate of Increase
in registration over 1927 amounted to
about 6 per cent. New York State
leads. California, Ohio. Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Michigan and Texas follow in
the order named. The 1929 registra-
tions are running away ahead of 1928.
so that much greater gain seems sure.
Manufacturers are deeply interested
in the recent development of radio sets
for use in moving automobiles, buses,
motor boats and the like. The tubes
are mounted in cushioned devices that
reduce road shock to point where they
function perfectly, even over rough
roads, and claim is made that they
are just as satisfactory and will last
just as long as the household models
The only exposed parts will be the tun-
ing dialS and controls. which will be
neatly arranged on the instrument
board. The auto battery will furnish
power to the filaments, but separate
batteries will be necessary for the B
and c supply. Perfect shielding has
been provided to eliminate interference
1Ion Tie lSultlon SySGeH IL Is pre-
dicted that many If not all of the
new cars will be radio equipped within
the next few years.
A study of present conditions finds
the supply and demand on new cars
in a very satisfactory condition, with
little thought of price revision. The
frequent reports of the retail dealers
as to prospects, provides the factories
with valuable information necessary to
control and arrange production sched-
ules, so that overproduction, as in
former years, seems improbable.

MANY NEW TRAILS FOR TOURIST
PUT IN TOP SHAPE FOR TRAVEL
Hundreds of Miles of Concrete Roadway
Completed During Past Year on Atlantic
Seaboard Routes.

Hundreds Of miles of new concrete
are feeling their first real touch of
Whirling wheels this Spring
Roads completed during the past year
now make an almost unbroken trail of
first-claSs highway from Maine to
Florida, as well as providing numerous
short cuts from city traffic and new
routes into the national arteries leading
West.
T rec Developments Cited.
The Standard Touring Service, of &c
Broadway, New York City, representa-
tives of which have made a personal
survey of driving conditions along the
whole Atlantic Coast, gives the follow
ing outline of recently completed roads
in the Middle Atlantic States, together
with some of the principal routes into
the North and South.
Three outstanding developments are
Of particular interest to motorists in
this section of the country.
U. S. so Is Completed.
The first, of course, is the completion
of the Northwestern Turnpike GU. S.
500 along practically its whole length
as far as Parkersburg, thus adding a
Lincoln Highway, the William Penn
Highway through Easton, Harrisburg
and Pittsburgh, and the National Old
Trail through Baltimore, Cumberland,
Wheeling and Columbus have long been
popular. Now the Northwestern Turn
pike adds a fourth. The road, which
has been under construction for
years. runs from Alexandria, just south
of Washington, through Winchester,
Clarksburg and Parkersburg to Cincin-
natl. AS far as Parkersburg most of
the few remaining detours from the
main highway are all good loads
The second important development
in the Middle Atlantic States is the
practical completion of u. S. 311, from
Roanoke, Va, to Winston-Salem, N. c..
which enables motorists to come down
through the beautiful Shenandoah VAL
ley almost entirely over perfect road
surface. A third is the opening of the
Bluef1eld to Wytheville (Va) link on
u. S. 81. thus shortening the route from
Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky
down through the Carolinas, Georgia
and Florida.
Three Bridges Speed Route.

and Covington (Va), has been under
construction for a number of years,

Gently been opened for traffic, however,
and is now an important East-West
artery.
The completion of three bridges
across the James River, Nansemond
River and Chuckatuck Greek is another
great time-Saver for those travelling
/ from Portsmouth and Newport News.
Through New Jersey, New York and
New England an attractive network of
State and national highways spreads
out before the Northwardbo bound vaca-
zionist. Perhaps the best feature this
year is the opportunity for avoiding
heavy city traffic on through trips
where before long delays wasted time
and tested tempers.
Dodging Newark Traffic.
In New Jersey, for example, two re-
route which is to parallel the Lincoln
Highway through the State, and which
will eventually connect downtown New
York with Trenton and Philadelphia,
cut several towns off the route of the
North-bound motorist.
The first section, which allows the
tourist to avoid Newark traffic, begins
in Elizabeth. A right turn off the Lin
coin Highway (Freylinghuysen avenue)
into North avenue leads on past the
Newark Airport and back into the Lin
coin Highway just west of the Passaic
River.
Another section, completed last Fall,
enables cars heading toward New York
via the Holland Tunnel to avoid much
of the Jersey City traffic by leaving the
Lincoln Highway just east of the Hack
ensack River Bridge, going around the
west of West Side Park and under the
Hudson boulevard.
Half Hour Clipped Of.
Between Trenton and New Brunswick
full half hour has been clipped from
travel through the improvement of
Brunswick pike, the longest straight
highway in the State, which skirts both
Princeton and New Brunswick. BY the
end of this Summer there will be
clear stretch from Trenton right
through to Elizabeth, with the excep-
ton of detour through Albany avenue
in New Brunswick. With the compile
ton of the Raritan River Bridge in
1880, this last delay will be eliminated
and the tourist will have q nonstop
route all the way.
Going farther North the Albany Post

When we consider that the total value
of new cars produced last year reached
the sum of $3,162 7eS. $50, it is readily

invested in new automobiles. This is

the distributor who sells him the gaso-
line. The ruling is of national applica-
ton, affecting largely motorists in all
other States where the gasoline tax
law is of the same phraseology.
Motorists of the State of Connecticut
last year consumed an average of $50
gallons of gasoline, paying a gasoline
tax there of approximately $11.20, ac-
cording to figures of the association
The question submitted to the Bureau
of Internal Revenue was whether a mo-
torist could deduct this amount of tax,
already paid, when making his annual
Federal income tax return.
Tax Against Distributor.
The bureaus ruling to the effect that
he cannot, is based primarily on the fact
that the law imposing the tax provides
that each gasoline distributor shah pay
a tax of two cents per gallon on all
gasoline sold for automobile use. The
bureau holds that the distributor and
not the purchaser paid the tax. The
provision of the Connecticut law, plac-
ing the burden of paying the tax on the
distributor, is practically the same as
that in many States and the ruling
therefore is one that affects many mo-
florists.
