WASHINGTON. April 9. Of tho
$102,034,106.26 collected In tho for
ty-eight states- and District ot Col
umbia last year for automobile, mot
orcyclo and registered chauffeurs' II
censes, 96 per cent, or $"97, 997,160.-
60 wag applied to road maintenance
or construction. In 1906, Just four
teen yoars ago, practically nono ot
tho nutomobllo rovenuo was applied
to road construction or maintenance.
Thoro has been a tremendous change
In tho last fourteen years.
In 1906 the total registration ot
cars was 48,000, tho total gross ro
venuu was $193,000, or Just about
what Arltona paid in 1920. Last year
9,211,295 motor ears, Including com
mercial vohlclcs, were registered. In
addition to this number there were
248,146 motorcycles.
Tho amount received from rogl
tratlon rovonue last year was equal
to approximately 25 por cont ot tho
total rural road and brldgo expcndl
turcs for tho calondar year ot 1919
In 1906 tho gross Incomo from regis
tratlon was only equal to three
tenths of 1 per cont for expenditures
on account of total rural roid and
brldgo construction.
KxpeiMO Too Small
, The most significant feature of the
report, wnicn nas ooen compnea Dy
the bureau ot public roads ot tho
United States department ot agrlcul
turo, Is that only 4 per cent f tho
entire amount collected was applied
to the administration expenses and
purchaso of metal number plates. All
ot tho rest ot tho amount, almost
$100,000,000 went for road work and
of this sum 79 per cent, or $77,531,
C82.57, was expended under the con
trol or supervision of the several
stato highway departments.
For a number ot years the gener
al tendency toward devoting an ar-
er-lncrcaslng portion of th6 motor
veblelo rovenues to road work under
tho control and dlroct supervision
the state highway department has
been very noticeable Prior to 1912
only a very small portion ot tho mot
or vehicle. registration was devoted
to this pnrpose.
In 1920 76 por cent ot tho reven
ue, or $77,531,582.57, was applied
to road work under the direct super
vision of the state highway depart
ments, and In addition $20,465,578.
04 was applied to road work by coun
ties or'(othor local supervision, but
with llttlo or no dlroct supervision
from, tho stato highway depart
ments. States Use Fund
In most states tho motor vehicle
revenuos are devoted to maintenance
and repair of tbo stato roads or oth
er Improved highways. Those states
seemed to have solved fairly well the
difficult problem of securing funds
for tho inalntepanco of the more Im
portant roads undor the ovor-ln-
creasing traffic requirements. As
both tho traffic and the revenue In
crease with tbo number of cars, thore
apparently oxists a possibility of sp
adjusting tho registration rates as to
keep pace with tbo ever growing
maintenances changes.
A numbor of states having In gen
oral but a sniallj mileage of improved
roads havo recently adopted tho plan
ot capitalizing tho motor vohlclo rev
enues and devoting theso funds to
road construction. Tho states doing
this are Illinois, Maine, Minnesota,
Missouri, Novada, Utah and Wo
ralng. In them bonds bavo been vot
ed or issued for road, construction,
and the principal in some instances
also tho interest, Js to bo paid entire-1
ly from 4ne .motor vehicle revenue.
At tbo beginning of i921 there
vere still sevlro elates in wbleh mo
tor tracks were registered at 'the
same rate as passenger cars, but in
recent years there has been a Very
decided tondency in most states to

This Is a plcturlzatlon of F. Hop
klnson Smith's famous novel, "Calob

thrilling and appealing, and every

full of drama is "Habit" that it Is
