auto receipts ! are doubled [ : LARGE SUM OF S.0NEY IS RECEIV- 1 , 1 ED BY STATE OF NEW JERSEY— i $658,000 COLLECTED TO JUNE • THIRTIETH, WHICH IS MORE 1 THAN ALL OF 1913. From Thursday's Daily Star and Wav The total collections of the State Mo- -j , tor Vehicle Department for this year up \ s to June 30 have been $668,393.54, Motor Vehicle Commissioner Lippincott said, j 1 Durin tghe whole of last year $061,446.- t • 31 was collected, so that for 1911 to , date- $0,947.23 more has been collected : that was received for the whole of 1913. j SA comparison to June, 30 this year with the same ]ieriod last year shows 8 • .Last year for the first- six months , thcrC--were 40594 car registrations is- 4 s sued eonijtured with 46567 up to June j t 30 this yeaiy or an increase of 9,173. _ To June *30. 1913. the number of mo- j, tor-cvele registration issued was 6,538 g 1 as against 8,004 for the same" period , ... this year, or an increase of 1.466'. The l number of drivers' licenses f issued i a t shows an increase of 10,627 . The s number issued for the first six moqths 0 f last year was 44.905, compared with g 1 '532 this year. To June 30 last year » ' the amount collected in fines was $4,- > 716.66, while for the first six months I , ; this year it was $9,0004.75. Discussing f the large increases today, Cqramis- f jsioner Lippincott said: 1 j "The phenomenal increase in the r • number of drivers' licVu-es issued is a ,' attributed by this department to the 'v r system that was established in the 1 11 ( early spring and summer this year in <• I examining drivers on the road to see whether they were properly licensed . j This seems to prove conclusively that t I a large number of persons were driving without a license, and probably j j have been doing so for years in this ; State. ' !j [ j "Another item of' exertional inI crease is the amount of f in^s collect - . ed for violations of the motor vehicle j . laws. The increase of $4288. Win -the- , ' amount of fines collected is more than 50 per cent., and we attribute this to the efficient work of our inspectors. I contend that each new inspector al- j , lotted to the department doubles the ^ j amount of his salary and Expenses in , the revenue that he brings. j 1 ' Not in the history of the State lias . there been so strict patrol of roads, ^ > and the inspectors arc finding fewer t and fewer violations of the automobile e Commissioner Lippincott estimates that $168,000 will be collected during - , the balance of this year, as follows: ^ ; July. $60,000: August, $50,000; Sep- 1 1 1 ember, $25,000; October. $18,000: No L vcmber. $10,000, and December. $3,000. s ,Tbis will make the approximate revenue for the entire year $$36,000. or a , f ' probable increase of $173,000 over 0 : 1913. This is an increase of about 23 a 'percent. An efficiency blaftk has been adopt--(ed by Mr. Lippincott, which each in- _ r spector is required to fill out, show- g I ing the exact amount of work done j and -the money that has resulted -from this usefulness of each inspector . The Commissioner also has detailed an In- t • spector who is expert rating, to \ r investigate the deparfment fifta^to as- B certain how tnapy cars have been~tra- ,1 derrated, U»tfs paying a less license fee than they should. The Commis- j sioner estimates that this will net the j; departmenP^xabout $10,000.
