Automobile Chamber of Commerce engaged leading research organization to make an exhaustive and completely independent study of the use and ownership of motor vehicles in this country The survey involved thousands of personal interviews with carowners in every partof Canada It required months of tab ulation and analysis of the returns The resultant report which makes up bulky book crammed with sta tistics brought out convincing proof of the csscntiality of the automo bile in Canadian life There were 1900000 privately owned passenger cars in Canada and about 200000 others owned by business firms taxi fleets and so on Canadian motorists then drove more than 12 billion miles year4 an average of 6200mlles per car Oi allrthisrmilcage only miles in every 100 were driven for what
