THE BOOM IN MOTOR TRAFFIC
100 OAKS A DAY.
Motor-cars are coming’ into this country at the rate of 100 a day, declares Mr F. W. Furkert, Chairman ol tne Main Highways Board. Such has beer the rate of importation for the past six months and he cannot believe that the average will be maintained. Mr Furkert notes that a drop in the numbers will mean a fall in revenue for highway construction and road maintenance. Just to show how much those imports mean to the fund for roads It should be mentioned that each buyer of a new car pays £3 for the Improvement of the highways he will use. That Is £3OO a day on the figures.
