“Joy-riding with city automobiles
is a thing of the past In Cincinnati

that city. Hoene and Theodore Brack

Mayor Thompson.
‘Cincinnati owns 40 automobiles,
I estimate that we will save not
leas than $60,000 a year by maintain
ing a garage," said Hoene. “Before
this system was put in effect, city of
ficials and employes had charge of
the machines and they kept them In
any enrage they desired. They would
rail Tor them at all hours of the day
and night and use them for their own
purposes. If a machine needed re
rhiaiiing the employe who ran It would
send it to a garage keeper who, like
ly as not was a friend, and the garage
wodld send In a bill, which would be
l»aid by the city without question. The
expenditure for oils, gasoline and
tires was very high. We have lower
ed the total operating expenses for
each machine per mile from 28 cents
ta nine cents.
“All the city automobiles are label
fed with the city seal. The fire and
the police departments bring their
machines to the garage to he cleaned
and repaired, but, of course, their
machines are kept on the various
stations. We employ five machinists,
thtee chauffeurs and a foreman tn the
enrage. and they are kept busy all the
Time. Each machine is washed and
cleared every night. When a city
employe gets an order to go In an
automobile to a certain place we

“We take 'em in up until 9 o'clock

are stripped and their clothes put In a

fuke a shower bath and when he is
thoroughly clean a physician vaccin

$2,700 annually to take care of the
