Shrinkage in Licenses Less
Than Was Expected.


New York.-That the automobile in
dustry has firm basis for recovery Is
indicated in report issued by james
Dalton, editor of Motor. The expert
ence of 1882 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 20,929,001 passenger cars in
operation in the United States. Count
ing the 3,253292 trucks that are in
operation, the total is 24,fS2,383 We
hicles. This represents decrease Of
1851, 720 car registrations, or 81 per
cent from 1881, but since 1882 marks
the elimination of the business recess
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.
