Inspectors for the state auto

Notwithstanding the department

3.790 cars which were registered

Not until some ten days ago aia

"This same condition has existed

Ace Garage At
Independence
Goes Bankrupt
Independence, Or., Jan. 1. The
Ace Garage under the management
of F. C. McClalne for the paat
three years, went in the hands of
the receiver last evening, having
voluntarily assigned the stock over
to C. W. Irvine, president of the
Farmers State bank of this ctly, for
the benefit of the creditors. The
total assets and liabilities are not
definitely known at this time, but
the receiver believes that the credi
tors will receive nearly 100 cents
on tho dollar.
The Ace Oarage handled the
Ford agency in thla city and the
assignment came as a great sur
prise to many; people In Independ
ence. The business will be con
tinued under the same name, with
Albert Plant, former secretary of
the company; as general manager.
It Is said that the Farmers State
bank and William Dawes of Inde
pendence are the heaviest creditors.
The company's assets are supposed
to be somewhere In the neighbor
hood of 130.000 and it is believed
that the assets, when ail outstand
ing accounta are collected, will
amount to more than that amount,
leaving a surplus of perhaps J2000
or 3000 for Mr. McClalne after
the creditors are all satisfied.
Suit was instituted several days
ago against the Ace Oarage by the
Standard Oil company to recover a
small acocunt, and It is believed
ihnl this is the starting point of the
I company's failure. By consent of
the creditors tnc siore win not bv

volume of business through the of
fice, the twelve months ending last
night saw disbursements totalipg
over 127.000,000 made through the
effice of Sam A. Kozer, secretary
of state, according to a statement
made pubUc by Mr. Kozer late yes
terday afternoon. To give an idea
of how rapidly the work of his
department has increased of late
months, Mr. Kozer said that the
total disbursements for the year
1918 only slightly over 16,000,000.
The 127,000,000 disbursements
for the past year are represented
by nearly 51,000 separate claims of
varying suma, and represent dis
bursementa from the general fund
and the various trust funds of the
state. The principal disbursements,
a tu nnn find, were on

account or roau cwimn u:uu
road improvement throughout the
state under the direction of the
Stato Highway Commission. Dis
bursements of the Industrial Acci
dent Commission on account of the
operation of the Compensation
Law aggregated over $3,000,000,
and for other governmental ex
penses, over $8,000,000.
Tho receipts of the department
are orincinal v from tne motor
vehicle licenses and the tax on
aaallna and distillate sold and dis
tributed throughout the state, from
motor vehicle licenses, the oper
ation of the motor vehicle law ir
eluding operators' licenses, $2

sents license fees upon 103,790 pas
senger and commercial cars, 3,516
motor-cycles, and for the registra
tion of 3,394 chauffeurs, 751 motor
vehicles dealers and 140,081 motor
vehicle onerators. For the year
1919 the number of motor vehicles

cent over 1919. The receipts for
motor vehicle registrations durinjjr
the year 1919 aggregated slightly
over $602,000. The receipts from
the gasoline tax in 1920 amounted
to $4M,379.
Other items making up some of
the business of the department
were the issuing of 1,885 Notarial
Commission, filing 3.840 notices of
migratory chattels, filing 161 farm
names and filing and recording
401 miscellaneous appointments,
proclamations, pardons and other
papers of the executive depart
ment. 71 trade marks were also
registered during the year.
At no time during an experience
of nearly twenty years in the offlc
