North Carolina motor vehicle trends face postwar surge
A six month survey by North Carolina Motor Vehicles Commissioner Landon Rosser shows 862,638 vehicles registered January through June 1948, with expectations this year to exceed 950,000 and perhaps license plate changes by 1949. Deaths from traffic fell 18 percent, licenses revoked rose, mileage rose about 9 percent, and revenue climbed to 11.67 million dollars. Repeal prospects for alcohol remain limited with counties voting down beer and wine, and no further elections on the matter until early 1949.
