Mann RESOLUTION
INTERESTS AUTO|STS
If Passed by Congress Will
Mean Better Roads Through
out Country.

A recent amendment to the national
parks regulations offered In the House by
Representative Mann Of Illinois will
commend itself generally, for 1t provides
that all revenues received after July l
from national parks shall be expended
only for construction. improvement. and
repair Of roads, trails and bridges in the
respective parks and for no other pur-
poses whatever
A suggestion made recently in connec-
ton with the opening Of national parks
to motor-driven vehicles includes pro-
vision for a special registration fee. with
its use exclusively for road purposes
Such a plan might meet the objections
which have been filed against the special
fee that is now being exacted for auto
mobile admission into Glacier Nauonai
Park Ultimately the registration fees
would be abolished. but at the present
time it Is possible that there would not
be any great objection to the plan. pro-
viding the yearly fee for those living near
the parks would be reasonable In amount.
The A. A. A. national good roads board
will present the matter at the next meet
ing Of the A. A. A. board Of directors
In it's consideration Of the annual post
office appropriations bill the Senate COM
mittee on post Offices and post roaos mas as
voted to report q provision calling for the
appointment Of joint committee OF House
and Senate to consider federal aid Tor
good roads construction and the recon-
mendation Of definite plan Of procedure.
The Senate committee voted adversely
upon the proposition Of government roads
rental for rural free delivery routes used
in the various states. The action taken
concurs with the resolution pending in
the House which resulted from the fed
eral aid convention promoted In Washing
ton last winter by the A. A. A national
good roads board. and co-operated IN by
such organizations as the Natlohai
Grange and Farm-rs' Union

has been aroused IN the matter. and II Is
