RAY EDGAR ANNOUNCES CONTINUED
GAIN IN STATE GASOLINE TAXES

taxed during the year ended June
80, 1895, resulting in State reve-
nue. of $39 1922 1888. Thus in one
year alone there has been an in
crease in the yield frdm the
gasoline tax of 6,925, ,46209.'
Comparing the tax fer last month
with that of June year ago,
Edgar pointed out that there had
an increase of 11,420, 1865 gallons
in taxable distribution, resulting
in 339, 1928 additional taxes, or
a gain of 8.87 per cent.
These figures can point to but
one answer" Edgar asserted.
"They must learn that there has
been a definite improvement in
business conditions. Some fluc-
tuation from month to month is
to be anticipated but when there
is a steady gain for more than a
year in the actual gallonage OF
gasoline sold throughout the state,
convincing proof is afforded that
business is BETTER

AUTO LISTINGS
SET ALL TIME
STATE RECORD

SACRAMENTO, July 25.-Cali-
fornia registrations for all types
of vehicles established a new all
time record on July 10 for the
first six months of the year, ex-
ceeding the total registrations of
1895.
Compared with the first six
months of 1885, 168.20O more auto
mobiles, trucks and trailers have
been registered this year and the
fees for this period were over a
million dollars more than for the
same, period last year, according
to Howard E. Deems, registrar OF
the department of motor vehicles.
Equals Thirteen States
This new record established IN
six months time ranks California
equal in registrations to thirteen
adjoining western states, includ-
ing Washington, oregon, Montana,
Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, wy
oming, Colorado, New Mexico,
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Nebraska" stated Deems.
191,275 out of state vehicles have
purchased California plates this
year. This tremendous increase
in new applicants from other
states represents one of the top
ranking industries in California
as a source of new revenue each
year and 1896 definitely proves
that California has maintained its
leadership as the favorite state
in the Union attracting new resi-
dents. New wealth amounting to
$40000,O00 is represented by these
foreign vehicles.
