near the Fitzpatrick restaurant and

speed of his high powered car to the
bedside of his mother, in order to
see her for the last time and minister
as much as possible to her. He was
accompanied by one of his sons, they

Another child, a daughter of Mrs.

Hussongr-Rogers Motor Co.,
Lincoln, Nebr.
Gentlemen:
On March 1, 1928, we purchased the first unit for
our fleet of fifteen cars used in our law enforcement
division of the Bureau of Game and Fish, State of Ne
braska. This car was a Model "A" Tudor and was among
the first of this model manufactured.
Recently we compiled the costs of operation and de
preciation on this car. We are giving you these figures,
believing you will be interested in them.
At the time we made the compilation the car had
traveled 23,000 miles over all conditions of roads
throughout the state and under all conditions of weath
er, etc. Our law enforcement work is extremely hard
on cars.
Figuring gas, oil, repairs, storage, accessories, tires
in fact, all operation costs, together with the depre
ciation to that date, we find that we got our transpor
tation at 3 cents per mile.
This is the lowest figure this department has ever
been able to secure in the operation of motor cars.
Yours very truly,
DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE.
