Wayne county, Michigan, in which Detroit is located, has the equivalent of 766 miles of rigid, rural pavements, 18 feet wide, or better still the equivalent of 345 miles of 40-foot pavement, according to the annual Wayne County road re- port. Just what effect these good roads have had on automobile purchases may be judged by the registration figures which show that Detroit and Wayne county together have 422,000 cars, or one car for every four persons. BIG JOB FOR FORD COMPANY The Ford Motor company is faced with the prospects of filling a million orders for cars, a condition which as- sures it an unbroken period of activity for many months to come, regardless >f what the daily output may be.

"A recent survey by the American Automobile association revealed that the motoring public is fleeced of ap- proximately $20,000,000 a year through 'short sales' of motor fuels," he point- ed out. "It is deplorable that so few states have made provision for check- ing the sales of 317,000 gas stations and 604,000 pumps that were in opera- tion last year. "The seven states that check these sales are California, Indiana, Massa- chusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Ohio. Illinois is one of the twenty-five commonwealths which have passed protective legislation but are without sufficient appropriations with which to enforce those laws. States Need Legislation "The states in need of such legisla- tion are Arkansas, Colorado, Dela- ware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Monta- na, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico and North Dakota. Thomas P. Hen- ry, president of the American Auto- mobile association, urged in a bulletin addressed to 1,065 motor clubs affi- liated with the A. A. A, that a pro- gram be launched immediately to check the losses sustained by motorists in purchasing gasoline and oil. "The principal recommendations of the national motoring body are, first, immediate adoption of new legislation on weights and measures by those states wherein there is no law of this sort or the existing legislation is inade- quate; secondly, the creation of state and local enforcement organizations with an efficient' personnel; thirdly, sufficient appropriations by the legisla- tures to enable the organizations to operate efficiently every day of the year. "It is expected that the National Conference on Weights and Measures, the United States Bureau of Stand- ands, and responsible gas and oil com- panies and filling station owners, will led their maximum cooperation in a de- termined drive to rid the highways of dishonest station proprietors and pil- fering pump attendants." Ballot on Bond Issues in 6 States Also it is pointed out that six states will ballot November 6 on bond issues totaling $330,000,000 for the purpose of constructing new concrete roads, while five other states are formulating programs providing for bond issues ag- gregating $555,000,000. Towa heads the former group, ac- cording to a report from the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, with a contemplated $100,000,000 bond issue to be used in retiring and replac- ing some $60,000,000 already expended for highway construction. Missouri will vote on an issue of $75,000,000. Colorado's program provides for a $60,000,000 issue. Pennsylvania's bal- lots will contain a proposal to issue $50,000,000 worth of bonds. West Vir- ginia is planning to expend $35,000,000, and California seeks $10,000,000 with which to eliminate grade crossings. With respect to those states in which the propositions are still in the tentative stage, Texas is talking in terms of $300,000,000, with which to re- deem county bonds expended for state highways, and to further the state highway system. Georgia contemplates seeking $150,000,000 for the same pur- pose. Mississippi, Louisiana and Ala- bama are moving towards issues of $50,000,000, $30,000,000 and $25,000,000, respectively.
