TAX ON HORSEPOWER
Britain’s Methdd Questioned British Wireless. Rugby, March 19. Sir Herbert Austin, the well-known motor manufacturer, at the American Chamber of Commerce luncheon in London criticised British methods of motor-car taxation based on horsepower, which, he said, was unfair in incidence and amount. Despite the handicaps, however, Britain held the world’s record for speed on land, water, and in the air. The output of British passenger and commercial motor vehicles had gone up from 73.000 in 1922 to 238,000 in 1929, with a drop of about 2000 in 1930.
