 Regarding trailers he said the ques- tion of safety mpst be taken into con- sideration. He sad trailers will not pro- perly drag so that vehicle behind can be operated safely under abnormal con- Qitions
 | Nr. Bennett said that plans had been outlined to develop roads circling around cities so that through traffic would be diverted entirely from the congested cen | ters but owing to lack of funds the plan 1 had been abandoned this year He said this was in prospect at Bridgeport which i is one of the worst cities to so through i in an automobile.

sioner may seek out those who evade the tax, in whole or in part. The ma chinery is much the same as is used in states which have a personal income tax act. The tax forms are prescribed by the board of equalization as are the forms at the present time.
 The low tax rate conforms to the practice in all states which have made the greatest success in imposing taxes on intngible property, according to Com missioner Blodgett. Fifteen or twenty states have such tax. The tax on in tangibles was intended in it's inception. he said. to pass the tax burden to those most able to pay it and relieve real es- tate when the real estate had already been taxed to the danger point. NO one is able to say with certainty that personal income tax return possesses
 greater integrity than does tbe rat,,. of intangibles for taxation" said tha commissioner. ie
