State Automobile Department Haz ‘Busy and Profitable Season to Date. Judging from figures given out by Frederick J. Wetstine, chief clerk at the offiees of the commissioner ° of L motor vehicles, 1918 ought to beat out 1917 by a large margin as regards the volime of business that will be trans- acted. Between January 1 and Feb- ruary 2, lcenses were issued for 25,- 890 pleasure cars, 9,153 commercial cars,>$25 motor cycles and side cars, 143 deaiers and -public service 1,127. During “the -whole of 1917 however, but 62,723 pleasure car licenses were issued 11,519 commercial, 6.137 motor- cycles and side cars, 450 dealers and 2,494 public service. Thus, it will be seen that In sonie kinds of license the. figureg are close together in 'spite of th fact that in one case it represents the total for the year, whereas in the other, it takes in but a month. The amount of money taken in be- tween January 1 and February 2 of this year, is far in excess o the amount taken in for the same period last year~ The total for the month this ‘year is $518,312.07, wh in 1917, ‘thé total was' $167,139.92. This represents an increase of ‘$51,072.15. The two branch offices of the de- partment at New Haven and Bridge- port have done much to relieve the pressure on the main office at the capitol.
