OLD CAR DUMPS
COMMON METHOD IN U.S. America has reached the stage of motor usage when old car dumps are becoming a landscape feature. There being practically no sale for really old cars, which have no market value even as “scrap,” the owners of old cars are hard set to discover any means of getting rid of their vehicles. The common method seems to be to drive the car well out of the inhabited district at night time (presumably accompanied by a friend driving a car by which they can return), and dump the old car in the country on the roadside. No one seems to say anything, and apparently the junk stays there. The scenery cannot be much enhanced hy these evidences of mechanical decrepitude. Let us hope that we are not anywhere near . that stage yet, though quite a number of cars now running should be scrapped in the interests of public safety.
