Additfonal use of, roads aifd streets ‘nas, of course, been accompanied by i8dditiqgal revenue paid to state and docal governments in the form of li- cénse: fees, which in nearly all states ’are devoted to highway needs. The -registration and license fees for auto- Hhobiles, trucks, and moter cycles ‘in 'fise th 1919 totaled $64,697,255.58—an Jocrease of 20 per cent over 1918.

AL SRECEIVE SOME: BENEFIT b e Good* Roads Are Advantageous Alike to Producer and Consumer— °, Storage Charges Less, - When the roads of the great pro- ducing zones of this country are im- pro benefits will accrue not only to producers, but to consumers. When marketing is distributed throughout the year, storage charges must decline, This country is paying at present large storage prices on foodstuffs. The dis- advantages of freight congestion in the £all cannot be entirely eliminated in many plices, but good roads will cer- tainly have a marked tendency to dis- tribute hauling over longer periods. It is reasonable to eay, therefore, that good roads mean that diversified farming will be encouraged, the area of profitable production increased, the opportunity for' favorable marketing improved, and more uniform distribue tion of farm products secured.

The aversge paid for crude was 95c per barrel. i N 1918 (when there were 1,009,000 automo- In 1914 producers had a little discouragement. The price for crude oil fell off to B1c average, and they drilled only 23,000 wells. ‘These wells, how- ever, proved exceptionally prolific and ctide prices dropped to an average of 64c a barrel (40c in the Mid-Continent field). As a consequence of the over-production, the -bottom dropped out of the gasoline market and low prices prevailed. The low prices of crude made exploration of new fields unprofitable, and in 1915 omly 14,000 wells were drilled. This halt in production enabled de- mand to creep up on supply, and caused crude to advance until it reached $1.10 per barrel. Encouraged by the better prices offered, producers put down 24,000 wells in 1916. The unprecedented demand aroused by the war caused petroleum prices to soar, and, notwithstanding the activities in the producing field, prices bave continued to advance because demand exceeded supply. ’ In August, 1920, the number of new oil wells brought in for that month alone was 8,513—the highest ofl production ‘mark in the history of the United States. ' Yet so great was demand that Mid-Continent crude stood firm at $3.50, and Pennsylvania crude at $6.10 per barrel, the present prevailing prices. The market price for crude is not apt to go off’ apprecisbly while demand continues to increase as during 1920.\ Since 1918 the number of motor vehicles in the United States. has increased approximately 7,459,607, and the forecast for 1921 is 10 million motor vehicles in the United States. ~ The Standard Oil Company (Indians) is straiming every fibre snd sinew of its highly specialized organization to increase the yield of gasoline from crude petroleum. ! How well it is succeeding is indicated by the fact that.an eminent authority states that the Burton process, originating in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has produced 40 million barrels of gasoline from. heavy distillate:s, and has thus saved approximately 150 million barxcls of crude oil that would otherwise have been neces- sary to produce an equivalent amount of gasolime. y Standard Oil Compan 910 So.
