Raleigh. July 29.—( AP) -Though
forced to curtail many branches of its
work due to much reduced appropria

culture served thousands of Tar Heel,

The report covered each division of
the department.
The project list at State test farms

BY J. C B**KKHVIL4
Raleigh, Jifly 29. In -spite -of the
fact that since July 1 the cost of >
automobile licenses has been only half 1
a smuch as the full year cost, the
number of automobiles licensed in the
state has been steadily decreasing, ac
cording to L. S. Harris, chief of the
automobile license bureau of the
•State epartment of Revenue.
>D Up to today, a total of only 261,-
256 automobiles and trucks had been
registered, wh.le up to the same date
last year a total of 402,704 had been
registered, 3o that there are 40,448
fewer motor vehicles registered in
the State toriej than heret were a
year ago. There ba<- been a dec ease
of 4.747 in the number of cars licensed
since July 1.
Since July 1, only 18,546 additional
motor vehicles have been licensed,
while in the same period in July last
year a total of 22,293 additional cars
and trucks were licensed.
The figures for license sales this
July and the same dates last July,
are as follows:
July 1. 1932 244,710
July 28, 1932 281.256
Difference 16.546
July 1, 1931 380,411
July 28. 1931 402.704
Difference 22.293
The difference between the total
sales to date this year and last is
40.448.
“One of the reasons for this dif
ference is that thousands of the old
cars are wearing out and that peo
ple do not have the money to replace
them with new cars.” Harris said.
here yesterday.
The agreement now in effect be
tween North Carolina and Virginia
provides for only four round trips a
month for trucks owned in these
states, or an average of but one - trip
a week. This means that if a North
Carolina truck owner needs to make
mors than one trip a week, or four

must pay the fuH Virginia truck li
