231.000 on 1.028 miles of completed
roads and carried over 1.338 miles. The
report shows also that Missouri by spend

completed with 1,267 miles, but its car
ry-over was not nearly so heavy.
Alabama ranked third with expenditures
amotmtiug to 11.6100,000. Her mileage
completed with 979 with a carry over of
715 miles. West Virginia stood fourth
with expenditures of $11,000,060 and
Texas fifth with $10,661,000.
The United States as a whole con

The News points out that “the estimate
is that there are 27,009.000 families in
America, and the records of the automo
bile manufacturers show that 24,000,000
cars have been turned out, and that 17-
000,000 are still in operation, or around
70 per cent, of all that have ever been
made.”
There really seems to be no end to this
automobile business. Despite the fact
that 17.000,000 cars are in use now. thou
sands of new automobiles are being madia
daily. And there seems to be a ready
market for these oars. Most any com
pany can put an automobile on the mar
ket and there will be, purchasers for it.
If the first models hold up in any way
whatever, the company finds a ready mar

companies were selling their output right
alone.
