Number of Automobile Licenses Increasing.

It is believed that 130,000 automobile licenses will be issued In Indiana this year, against 96,915 last year. Thus far in 1910 about 105,000 licenses have been issued and more than $050,000 has been collected therefor against approximately $585,000 in 1916. If 130,000 licenses are issued this year the fees will total approximately $750,000 and it will mean an average of one automobile for every 20 persona in the state. The growth of the number of automobiles owned In Indiana has been amazing. The automobile license law was enacted and became effective in 1313. In that year 44,732 licenses Were issued. In 1914 the number increased to 06,500, and in 1915 it was 90,915, an increase of 30,415.
