Maine citizens to obtain special privi-
leges In connection with the New
Hampshire roads, citizens of New
Hampshire are granted preferred
rights in Names roads.
I cannot follow the reasoning that
establishes fifteen miles as the limit
beyond which special privileges shall
not be extended. There is as much
reason to make the limit twenty five,
nifty or a hundred miles as to make
1t hfteen. for in these days Of rapid
transportation a hundred miles is a
trifiing distance if roads are good.
In my opinion it would be well to
repeal the special privileges granted
to passenger car owners in the zone
referred to. but that question is not
be1ore me. l do, however, deem IT
unwise 10 extend existing privileges
to include New Hampshire truck
Owners. The truck problem is a seri-
Gus one and all trucks should bear
equally thelr proper share of the bur-
oehs or road maintenance and this Is
especially true of trucgs coming from
other states. No privileges should he
EXTENDED TO one class at the expense
OF another.
In these road matters as in others.
~ "iuc view should be taken
ana cannot approve bill that al
lows the citizens of New Hampshire
to operate trucks in Maine upon Jaw
ment Of nominal two dollars reyjs-
tration fee. when Maine truck own
ers are paying anywhere from ten
dollars to one hundred rorty-s1x
61-lOO dollars for the same privilege.
