AUTO TITLE FEE
UPON INDIVIDUALS
Dealers Protest and K.-vape
Kxlra Charges Provide.! For
In lleeeiit Amendment.
There seems to be some misunder
standing about the anteiiduieiu to
the titb law, according t>> a letter t"
('harlot te automobile dealers front
the otlice of R. A. Doughton. eollec
tor of revenue, of Raleigh,
. "It i.- not our intention to require
the dealer t> pay for title to a new
car. The purchaser must pay for
two titles, from lii'i and 107, the lee
being •">" cents each.
Thu# automobile dealers through
out the state are relieved of a "ill
cent fee on each new sale, a tax
which they protested vigorously.
Purchasers of new cars, howevei,
who now pay the additional halt
dollar, are wondering why it is that
they have to pay twice for what in
the long run, they say amounts tu
the same registered title to owner
ship.
The new automobile laws, as pass
ed by the legislature, provide for
placing the first link of the chain
of registered ownerships for each
car on the dealer, rather than on
the first individual owner.
The amendment requires that the
registration fee of .">ti cents be paid
to take care of the additional regis
tration. The fee Was lirst placed
' upon the dealers. They protested.
It was then placed upon the individ
ual owners, who now are required
,to pay sl,t»ti for rcgi.-tration of a
new car, instead ol' the former .>0

N'o (I,'tailed study has yet been
made of the actual amount of power
whi.li can lie developed at the vari

er available is dependent upon both
fall and stream Mow. As to the la:-
ter, information is meagre, due to
the fact that no stream-gaging sta
tions were ever operated on this
portion of the river prior to the pre
sent investigation. Three stream
gaging stati ins were established du
ring H'-.'l and and as soon as
record of Mow for a complete year
is available, the records at these
stations will be compared with simi
lar records at other stations which
have been operated for a longer
time and some estimate of avergae
Mow obtained.
Due to insufficient stream Mow
data the complete re old of the sur
