States last year were registered in

ence of motor vehicle administrators
whic'it held its second quarterly meet-
ing in this city last week.
Statistics compiled from as authori-
tative sources as possible by the ".\u-
tomotivc Industries" show that a total
of 10.449.785 motor vehicles were in
use in the country in 1921. Of this
number 2.564.787 were registered in
states of the conference. as follows:
Maine. TT.;’-Zlo; New Hampshire. 42.~

l~‘our states of the conference made
gains in registration during 1921 of
more than Ell per cent. These were
Maine. New Hampshire, Massachusetts
and l’ennsyhaniu. Connecticut gained
about l?» per cent. and New York state
about 11 per cent.
Registration of commercial motor
vehicles in member states of the con-
ference has increased an average of 30
per cent. thus far this year. Motor-
cycle registration only is showing a
decrease this year. New York state
already reports a drop of 4.318 based
on 26.025 motorcycles registered. and
the same condition is true in New
Jersey. Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
