State Motor Vehicle Commissioner Believes in Connect

Can Reasonably Be Elk pected

of the legislature which also passed
a law imposing a gasoline tax of a
cent per gallon.
Residents Of Connecticut know that
every cent collected in these ways by
the motor vehicle department goes
to the state highway department and
is expended for better roads. That
fact makes it possible for us to ask
a somewhat higher rgistration fee
than some states charge and yet
have the automobile owner feel that
he is getting square deal. The
money is spent directly for better
roads for him to use. But the im-
position of federal tax of the ma
ture suggested would be an entirely
different matter and l am inclined to
think would not be fair to Connecti-
cut motor owners"
Commissioner SoeckeI invited a
comparison between the highways Of
this state and those of any Of the ad-
joining ones as proof that the Con-
ncticut system was productive OF
good roads for automobile use.

that he thought the automobile in

Commissioner Stoeckel pointed sout
that Connecticut had a system of de-

also as a guide for the operation

condition was relatively good. This
