A novel discussion, during which some interesting figures were quoted, was heard during a recent football tournament at Cromwell (says the, "Argus”). It was in regard to the Value of motor-cars in.. and around the ground. Estimates varied from £lO,OOO upwards. However one of the party exploded that fl gure. He put it that there were at lesist 200 ears, that was generality admitted. Amongst these were car s costing up to £7OO. and others rang ;ing down to the modest-priced Ford. The discussion fixed the aevrage £2OO as a very conservative figure, and on those lines the total value wot ild be represented at £40,000. All tt lings considered the estimate seems a very reasonable one. Further, it seems quite remarkable to find such a grouped ? value of cars in a town i vith a population of about 600. It sb ows the important part cars hold in everyday life.
