STOKES TAKES
THIRD PLACE
In Amount Paid In For Auto-1
mobile Taxes For Current
Year In This Highway Dis
trict.
Winston-Salem, N. C.. Sept. •'».
—The increase from year to year
in automobile registration fees in
various counties of the state
makes an interesting study. This
increase has truly been tremend
ous in recent years, and it is one
of the best indications of the
continued progress and prosperity
of the >ld North State.
Following are 9ome interesting
figures showing the automobile
registration fees for the current
year in the nine counties of the
Seventh District:
Forsyth, §173.012.
Surry, §48,776.
Stokes, 531,557.
Caldwell, §25,933.
Yadkin. §23.003.
Davie, §21,562.
Ashe. §9,235.
Watauga, §8,19!).
Alleghany, §5,650.
It is interesting to take these
figures and compare them with
those for several years past. It
will show a steady increase from
year to year, and it would take a
mighty good prognosticator to
predict with any degree of ac
curacy what the figures will show
within the next few years.
