Show THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 3. Americans Planning $6,600,000,000 VOLCANIC PARK Automobile Expense Bill in 1929 GETS ADDITION i Expense Up to 0,000,000,000 ; Cf os Income Set at S90,000,000,000. The American public will spend for automobiles.- - replacement parts, and accessories, during the year 1929, the production division of the American Society of Automotive Engineers, estimates. Of this sum. $5.00,000.t00 will, be spent for automobiles and trucks, and $100,000,000 for accessories and replacement parts. The total unit production of automobiles and trucks for 1929 is placed at 6.000,000. The average retail price Is figured at $900 per car. v Tires, Gasoline and Parts Help Swell Grand Total. 'Tires, gasoline, and replacement parts, which make up the basis operating cost of automobiles, cost the in 1928," the republic $4,122,000,000 -port said. Approximately was spent for gasoline; for tires, and $950,000,000 for. replacement,, part. The total .spent Jar, automobiles, themselves" in 1928 we estimate at $4,153,000,000. Consequently, the. amount spent by the public for operating and maintenance of automobiles last year about equaled the amount spent for the year's purchase of new cars. Purchasing Power of Public Becomes the Important Factor. "The rapidly increasing purchasing power of the public has been an important factor In the Increase In the number of cars bought annually. An even more Important factor, however, has been the steadily decreasing retail eost of automobiles and trucks. This decrease has been made possible chiefly because of astonishing demulvelopment made in tiple machinery for the manufacture of automobiles. Cost production of single part af automobiles has been decreased by as much as 50 per cent The reflected in many instances. savings to the manufacturer' have been handed on to the consumer and have made it possible for persons with a fixed income to buy automobiles w.ho could not think of their purchase " a few years ago. Gross Income for 1928 Estimated at $90,000,000,000. "It is interesting to note the relation of the amount' of money spent for automobiles to the amount of the country's income. The 1928 gross income was estimated at $90,000,000,-00- 0. Of this it is estimated that .000 was surplus Income. Consand equently, with the automobile replacement parts bill for 1928 placed at $5,103,500,000, the public spent approximately 33 per cent of Its surplus income for motor vehicles. "A more accurate picture of the importance of the automobile in the family budget, however, is, obtained, when to the total cost of automobiles and parts is added the cost of gasoline and tires purchased. Compilations just completed for these items show that the public paid about for gasoline last year, and Rhftnt 11)00.000.000 for replacement or tires, a total for these commodities of $3,172.000,000.. This, added to the total for automobiles and parts, makes a grand total of $8.275500.000, or roughly 55 per cent of the country's surplus Income. "Adding the 1928 gasoline and tire cast to the actual automobile and parts cost of $6,600,000,000, as estimated for 1929, it will be seen that the public will spend something In excess of $10,000,000,000 for automobiles and the things that they require during the coming year." $2,172,-000,0- high-spee- 00 d, 00 , WCTIQ:J,.T,U-a a.

D y America spent approximately for,, highway construction and maintenance in 1928. an increase of about $350,000,000 over 1927, and the present decade will go down as possibly the greatest period of according to the American ' Automobile association. The national motoring body pointed out that there are. not only more miles of roads being built, but they are better roads and constructed along sound engineering lines. Construction. Standards Show Marked Changes. "There have been marked changes during the last several years In the standards of construction," says the A. A. A. "New problems have been presented, not only in the Increased number of motor vehicles, but In the fact that they travel at greater speed. The result has been more durable roads, built wider and with curves of a longer radius." More than 600,000 miles of the total of some 3.000,000 miles of highways in the United States have been surfaced. Moreover, it was pointed out that this improvement program is being carried on at the rate of between 30,000 and 40.000 miles a year. The statement continues: 73.000 Miles Built With Federal Aid. "Up to November 1, 1928. the federal government had participated in the building of over 73,000 miles of these highways and at the time there were nearly 11,000 miles additional that were under construction. The federal aid system, which Is the designation given the important interstate routes, now includes approximately g, 188.000 mll: . ,a Toil-Fre- Jl Yf't I ' '7, -- .Mil; '" - m,.i J ;:.

And here are a few more don'ts to keep in mind and act upon. Don't let air pressure drop more than three pounds below minimum set by manufacturer, as underinflation causes early failure of the tire carcass. Don't overload your car so that tires have to sustain a greater weight than they are built for. Results re same as -underinflation. Don't run car with brakes Improperly adjusted. Uneven adjustment causes uneven tire ear and premature tire failure. Don't apply brakes suddenly. Bringing the car to a quick stop and skidding the tires wears the tread excessively.
