NEARLY $6,000,909 COLLECTED On Auto liccuef During th* Year Just Ending Neary six million dollars has been collected in automobile license fees this year by Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson. The total to date Is $6,886,771.82. In the collection of these fees Illinois has made a record for economy. The cost has been only 6.3 per cent of the amount collected. The average cost in other states is ten per cent, according to reports made at the recent national meeting of secretaries of state. The amount collected in automobile fees this year is five times as much was collected in 1916, the year previous to the beginning of the present administration. The increase will aid materially in paying for the construction of the hard roads system of the state. The growth of automobile fees sine* 1911, the first year fees were collected, has been phenominal. The total for that year was $105,433, collected from 38,269 automobile owners.
