Auto Truck Cheaper In Hauling Loads
A Norfolk Va. firm operates a big three and one half ton dump truck under contract to supply 60 tons of cement daily for concrete road work. In 35 hauling days the vehicle made 407 trips, traveled 1 975 miles, and delivered 1 524 tons at total daily cost of 9 50 dollars or 15 cents per ton. A hired team at 5 00 dollars daily could deliver about 16 tons, costing 31 cents per ton, about twice the truck’s efficiency on the same job.

Taxing of Motor Car Owners May Bring Discussion
Congress faces a fight over how to tax motor car owners with no final form yet set. The House and Senate differ on methods, while conferees reconcile proposals. Jameson of the American Automobile Association urged taxing owners fairly and noted shifts seen by states. He argued per mile and fuel taxes affect motorists and that a tax on used car cost would be unjust. The House Ways Means panel later said federal tax would be based on cars in use rather than original cost.
