IN COUNTY
State Engineer Suggests Five
Jobs in Prince Georges as

Five road projects totaling more
than 16 miles, in the Marlboro
section of Prince Georges County,
yesterday were suggested to coun-
ty welfare heads as the basis Of
the relief program by Joseph
CLANCY, district engineer for the
State Roads Commission.
Wages are to be paid out of
Maryland relief fund while the
workers IRE to be chosen among
unemployed by the county relief
board. Direct supervision Of the
work must be left to the State
roads body, said Mr.. CLANCY.
Workers must be chosen from
the district in which the work
is to be done, said Mr.. CLANCY.
First on the list is a 112-mile
stretch on the Mt. Calvert Sta
tion road followed by 3-mile
portion of the Suitland to Mead
ows Camp Springs road. The
board was asked to give first con-
Sideration to these, it was said.
A Smile part of the North Keys
to Baden road, 3 miles on the
Brandywine to North Keys road,
and 3 mills on the Mattawoman-
Manning road also were suggested.
Roads were picked which need
work such as side ditching and
clearing, the engineer said.
Work on five bridges, the last
of the So damaged by a storm
two months ago, was begun yes

BUICK RETAINS
SALE REPEATS
BY w. F. HUFSTADER
Buick Sales Manager

How to win the loyalty Of the
owner to the car he drives, and
how to keep that loyalty when 1t
has once been won, are two con-
siderations uppermost in the sales
plans of the automobile industry.
Obviously, the percentage OF
repeat" orders from owners is
the measure of the satisfaction
that any car gives to the man or
the woman who drives it.
Once the car is delivered to the
owner, the manufacturer must re-
alize that he has little control
over it. To protect his own repu'
tation and to insure the contin-
ued good will of the car owner,
he builds into his product such
qualities as will cause it to de-
liver the maximum of service
with the minimum Of attention
from the driver.
When the limited contact be-
tween the manufacturer and the
owner is taken into consideration,
plus the average owners meChan-
ical knowledge, expression of sat
iSfaction that takes the form OF
continuing to buy the same make
of car over a long period, meas
ureS the extent to which that
ideal of maximum service with
minimum attention has been real
ized.
We know that in the case of
Buick so high a percentage as be-
tween 80 and IS of these repeat"
orders is attained.
Modern methods of precision
manufacture, fabricating the
highly developed materials now
available to the automobile indus
try, insure insofar as it is hui
manly possible that every car
leaving the factory shall be of
uniformly high standard.
The high individual quality of
the product of mass manufacture
is one ofSAmerica's most impress
Slve industrial achievements, and
that means a record for the
world.
From the raw materials, step
by step, through every Coordi-
mated process of manufacture,
there is unceasing testing and in
Spection to make certain that moth
Ing below the eXacting require
ments Of the factory shall find q
place in the Buick car.

For its silver anniversary Hup-

car with 121-inch WheelbaSe and
80 horsepower motor. Two eight
cylinder lines are continued with
mechanical and other improve
ments. The two eights have
engines developing SO and l09
horsepower, respectively, for the
122-inch and l26-inch Wheelbase.
The auto show exhibit of Hup-

type and exterior dual horns are

be particularly valuable in round

Six-cylinder models include
sedan and coupe with rumble

HIGHWAY WORK
MUST CD On

DETROIT, Jan. 28.-Road and
street construction must go on if
there is to be any stemming of
the unemployment tide.
This summarizes the thought
in the minds of the $4,000 per-
sons who gathered here in Detroit
this week from all sections of the
country at the highway and build
ing congress led by the American
Road Builders Association.
The % national highway and
construction groups forming the
congress devoted major part of
their programs to the laying of
plans to keep job-giVing motor
tax funds for road and street
building only and to considera-
ton of the problems resulting
from the failure of the national
Congress to provide Federal aid
road funds for the immediate
future.
Numerous speakers directed at
tention to the fact that misuse
or diversion of motor tax funds
was constantly adding new num-
bers to the ranks of the unem-
ployed. The failure to provide
Federal aid funds was shown as
a serious handicap to the States
which are unable to make def
mite plans for road construction
for the latter half Of this year
and for 1884.

1893 Cars More Power Safety Comfort Less Money NOW
NEW Ia SALLE
COSTS LESS

The 1893 Cadillac Viz, Cadil-
Ice va and LaSalle V-8 are pre-
sented today to the auto show
public at substantial reduction
in price for every model. The La
Sale five-passenger sedan, one Of
the most popular in the line, is
offered at a reduction Of $3.50,
compared with 1882. Other re-
ductions vary according to the
particular model.
Production of the Cadillac Wis
will be limited to 400 cars, GUS
tom built to order. An unusually
wide range of body styles on this
chassis will all be creations OF
Fleetwood designers.
The new cars are distinctively
smarter in appearance and more
closely approach that peak OF
mechanical excellence ViSioned by
Cadillac engineers in pioneering
the multi-cylinder poWer-plant 19
years ago. The new models have
the recently introduced and revo-
lutionary Fisher individually con-
trolled ventilation; improved syn
cro-mesh transmission; new and
distinctly modernistic design in
radiator lines, hood ports, running
boards, hood and body contours,
radiator emblems, rear end en-
sembleS tenders and bumpers.
All four models, including the
TaSa1la are eoIliDDed with the
Cadillac cast molybdenum safety
brake and the vacuum brake as
sister, with which only the Cadil-
lac Viz and Vic were equipped
formerly.
Two lengths Of wheelbase are
available in each: LaSalle V-8, 130

PROTEST URGED.
ON NEW TAXES
BY w. H. BEAL

President, Auburn Automobile Co.
Figures compiled by the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of
Commerce show that motor We
hicles provide 10 percent of all
the tax revenue in the United
States. In 1881, for instance,
owners of motor cars paid ST.
O25, 5,735,112, whereas all Federal,
State, and local taxes of all kinds
levied for the same year totalled
$1O,25O,OO0,OOO.
Since 1920 the tax burden on
the motorist has increased at an
appalling rate. Each year legis-
lators have found some new way
to levy on the man who drives
a car, special motor taxes increas-
ing 179 percent in 13 years.
Registration fees and State gaSo-
line taxes alone have jumped in
this period from an average OF
$8.68 per car to $34.10.
Yet the average automobile
owner has protested little. Each
time a new tax was levied he felt
the injustice of it, yet there has
been little concerted effort made
to halt this "Sock the automobile
owner" Manufacturers protests
to the Federal Government have
gone unheeded; and the largest
industry in the country has been
fettered practically at will.

HUDSON OFFERS
z NEW CARS

Two new cars feature the Hud-
son Motor Company'S offerings
for 1933-an eight-cylinder Terra
plane and a new edition of the
famous Hudson Super Six which
made a name for itself a few
years ago.
There are five chassis models
representing 81 body types. The
line covers the price range from
the lowest to medium high and
represent Hudson's bid for lead
ership in price classes which in

The Terraplanes are a six and
an eight and the new Hudsons
are a six and two eightS. The
Hudson eight is on two wheel
base lengths-119 and 1872 inches.
Just as the Terraplane six shat
tered performance standards in
1882 the Terraplarie eight carry

weight ratio to even greater
lengths, establishes a new auto
mobile performance for 1893.
With a horsepower for every %

Available on this new 8-cylinder
chassis is a complete range of
bodies comprising a sedan, coach.
tWo-passenger coupe, four-passen-

ranges is available on the Terra
plane eight bodies.
The Terraplane six has been
refined for 1888, the tread on
this car is now standard 56
inches and the tenders have
wheel cowling effect and a wider
sweep at the front end of the
car, giving a thoroughly modern
iZed aDpearance.
