The new General Motors car to
be produced by the Oakland Motor
Car company as an addition to
the line, and a companion to the
Oakland six will also be a six
cylinder automobile and place
this company among those now
building two comletely different
lines of six cylinder cans.
This announcement confirm
rumors which have been guessed
ramer apuy tnat tne new car
would also be a "six." based on
the current trend of popular de
mand for this type of car and the
fact that the Oakland Motor Car
company was one of the first
Guilders of six cylinder motor car?
In America and also of the mos
successful.
How far the trend has gone in
this direction may be gauged by
the fact that a large majority o
all motor car comwanies in thi
country produce one or more cars
In the. six cylinder field.
Thi3 trend has been particularly
noticeable during the last year
when a number of prominent com
panies added a "six" to their lin
or lours ana some eomnanies
changed from the "four"' to th
"six." In the low-priced six
cylinder field the development ha
been particularly rapid.
All the research, designing an
engineering facilities of the Gen
eral Motors corporation and the
Oakland Motor Car company,
which has built high grade six
cylinder cars continuously since
1913. are being devoted to the
building of this new car. '
For several months the new
sixes have been undergoing every
possible kind of test at the Gen
eral Motors pro.viug grounds at
Milford, "Michigan and prondunced
O.K. and now over $3,000,000 is
being invested in new equipment
for the expanding capacity of the
Oakland factories, both to increase
the production of the Oakland six
and prepare for the new car. which
will be produced in connection
with it.

The urgent need for more and

brought forward at the Highway
session of the Chicago regional
planning association, held in the
Sherman hotel at Chicago. Decem

ther, emphasized at the annual
dinner held the same evening,
when Col. Sidney D. Waldon,
president of the Detroit Rapid
Transit commission, delivered an
address on "The Super-Highway
Plans at Detrdit."
The principal speaker at the
annual dinner was Col. Sidney D.
Waldon, president of the Detroit
rapid transit commission, who de
scribed the plans for the construc
tion of super-highway near De
troit.
"Wide roadways are acquired as
lands are subdivided, or by pur
chase or condemnation," said Col.
waldon, "but we have worked out
, two methods for our work which
are of special interest
"One Is the power to purchase
cheaper land in back of the front
age desired for widening and trade
it for the more expensive frontage.
The other is the division of cost
of the entire improvement, where
by the property actually benefitted
assumes the greater burden. -
