which the vehicle is registered, therefore the net income per vehicle to the State Highway
Fund is approximately fifteen dollars ($15.00) per car which is the figure used in com
puting Column 3. The administration expenses of the motor vehicle law will be met from
the receipt» from motorcycle licenses, chauffer»’ badges, transfers, etc.
Column 4 represents the income from the Gasoline Tax (Chap. 159, Laws 1919) to the
State Highway Fund. Figures obtained from the Secretary of State's office indicate the
average tax per vehicle in 1919, was approximately five dollars ($5.00) and this figure
has been used in computing Column 4.
Column 5 is the total amount of the motor vehicle license fees and the gasoline tax
based on the estimated number of vehicles as shown in Column 2.
Column 6 is the amount required each year to pav off the interest and principal at ma

1924; $2,200,000; a total of $40,000,000.
All of the bor.ds thus far authorized are serial bonds and, except the Bean-Barrett

“It Will Surprise You
says the Good Judge
When you learn how long
a little of the Real Tobacco
Chew lasts.
How long it holds its rich
tobacco taste.
The real satisfaction.
The money saved.
Any man who uses the
Real Tobacco Chew will
tell you that.
