MOTOR CAR OWNERS
HIGH SALARY NECESSARY CONTROVERSY IN ENGLAND. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, September 15. The dictum of an English County Court judge that nobody with a salary or income below LI,SOU is justified in owning a motor car has aroused a sharp controversy. Mr 11. S. Sclfridge expresses , the opinion that a careful man with £SOO a year can safely invest in a motor car. Sir Josiah Stamp says it should bo possible for a -man with £6OO or £7OO to run a car, but below this other claims on the income ought to come first. The Automobile Association says that thousands of its members do not card £SOO annually. A second-hand car can bo purchased for £SO, and a man and his wife and family can get an astonishing amount of pleasure for 40s weekly. There are 200 omnibus drivers in London alone who own motor cars. They sav they have given up paying doctors’ bills, and spend the money in running cars.
