Figures compiled by the auto license department of the state show tremendous increases in the number c.f automobiles during 1926’ when in comparison with population figures there was one automobile for every five persons or figuratively speaking, “an automobile for every family.” In all 664,230 pleasure cars were licensed in Indiana during the year 1926. This was an increase of 37,057 over the preceding year. The number of trucks kept pace with an inciease of 12.233 over 1925 for a total of 107,089. Estimating Indiana's present population at 3,100,000 and its total number of pleasure cars and trucks at 800, 000, every Hoosier in the state could be moved cut, figureatively, at once with less than four to a car and nobody crowded. Standing in line with 15 feet to a car, Indiana's pleasure cars and trucks would form a procession 2.273 miles in length. The increase in the number of Hoosier owned pleasure cars is graphically shown in the following table. 1914 66.410 1915 96.615 1916 139,117 1917 192,195 1918 227,160 1919 277,255 1920 294,338 1-921 357,025 1922 413,410 1923 510,214 1924 568.736 1926 ... . . ’.'. 664,230 Licenses issued in 1926 to cars other than pleasure included; trucks 107,089; manufactuters or dealers, 2,489; mote: cycles, 3.738; chauffeurs, 39,828; trailers. 5,550; semi-trailers, 147; transfers, 125,193; buses, 896; tractors 111; and free to municipally owned vehicles 3,593.
