Motor industry doubles in size in fifteen years in Iowa
New truck registrations show a surge from 69 490 in 1933 to an expected 145 000 to 150 000 in 1948. Executive Secretary John H. Gillespie notes growth reflects faster goods movement by trucks and increased highway use revenue. The report cites first half 1948 licenses, fuel and highway taxes, and excludes trailers. A tax abatement note for WWII deceased service members is added.
