FAMILIES HANG ON
TO THEIR MOTORS
Shrinkage in Licenses Less
Than Was Expected.

New York.-That the automobile In
dustry has firm basis for recovery Is
indicated in a report issued by James
Dalton, editor of Motor. The expert
ence of 1892 shows that there Is still
in operation one car for every six OF
our population. The figures show that
the American people regard their cars
as an essential part of their lives and
cling to them as long as possible. The
record of 1892 car registrations re-
ported by Motor disclOses that there
are still 2O,929O91 passenger cars In
operation In the United States. Count
ing the 3,253,292 trucks that are In
operation, the total is 24,1S2,3S3 We
hicles. This represents decrease OF
1851, 100 car registrations. or 81 per
cent. from 1881. but since 1882 marks
the elimination of the business reces'
sion, the decline was less than might
have been expected. The trucks regis
tered in 1892 numbered 3.253.292.
which is 81 per cent under 1881.
A drop of only 2.192. 498 car licenses
from the 1929 peak is an Unexpectedly
small shrinkage and provides substan
tial evidence of the Importance of in
dividual transportation.
The editor of Motor points out that
the losses In passenger car registra-
lions since 1929 reflect with fair &C.
curacy the relative pitch of the de-
preston In different states. Broadly
speaking, the industrial East-New
York, New Jersey. Connecticut. Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island-and the
west coast held up the best. The
plight Of the farmer is clearly revealed
in the drop In car licenses in agricul-
tural sections. The states that had
the worst decline in the three years
span were the southern and western
agricultural states.
Numerically. the heaviest losses
were: Michigan, 10000 cars: Texas.
10000: Ohio, $4,000; Oklahoma,
$4,000: Iowa, North Carolina, Illinois
and Wisconsin more than 100000 cars.
It is not to be concluded from these
drops in car registrations since 1929
that more than 100000 cars have
gone to the scrap heap. A large pro-
portion Of them. while serviceable. are
in storage because the owners are I'M
able to pay operating costs.
