IN THE NUMBER OF MACHINES

That the automobile is becoming 
more popular than ever is evidenced 
by the fact that the automobile de- 
partment of the Massachusetts high- 
way commission reports an increase 
of nearly 25 per cent. in the number 
of registrations for the fiscal year 
ending Nov, 30. 
The total net receipts from fees for 
licenses and registration certificates 
were $764,153.51, compared with

were registered 62,660 cars and trucks 
compared with 50,132 in 1912, These 
totals do not include motorcycles or 
manufacturers’ and dealers’ cars. In- 
cluding these, there were registered 
this year over 76,000 motor vehicles, 
compared with a grand total of 60,- 
700 the year previous. 
One of the notable features of the 
report of the highway commissioners 
is the increased use of commercial 
trucks. This year the highway com- 
mission registered 5948 commercial 
motor vehicles, a gain of upwards of 
47 per cent. over that of last year. 
The registration figures disclose 
that by far the largest number of au- 
_tomobiles registered is in the 20 to 30 
horse-power. But in number of cars 
registered the $5 division, which in- 
cludes cars under 20 horse-power and 
all trucks, leads that from 30 to 40 
horse-power. 
The amount received by the high- 
way commission in fines has not as 
yet been completed. Last year the 
fines wer $209,108, and there has un- 
doubtedly been an increase this year 
with the larger number of machines 
on the road, so that the total receipts 
from motorists are likely to be in the 
neighborhood of $800,000. 
The total receipts from automobile 
registrations for the fiscal year end- 
ing November 30, 1913, was $616,- 
133.60; from motorcycle certificates, 
$13,508, and from manufacturers and 
dealers somewhat over $40,000, 
The total receipts of the highway 
department from all sources for the 
fiscal year was $764,153.51.
