sold above 81 for a new 2.poirt gain
under the stimulus OF merger rumors
this line being a point Of contention
between the Van Sweringen and the
Loree railroad interests.

CAS- TAX URGED
FOR NEW ROADS

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 22.-That the
funds to be used in the elimination
of grade crossings and the construc.
ton of lateral roads, be raised by
tax on gasoline rather than BY
the issuance Of State and county
bonds, is the proposal made by e.
Brooke Lee, of Montgomery county,
speaker of the House of Delegates.
eff the bond issue plan is fol.
lowed" said the speaker, ''the cost
of the work will be heaped upon
the homes, the farms, the business
and personal assets Of Baltimore
and the counties, with no method
left Of making up the expenditure.
Whereas" he continued, ''if the
automobile user is taxed an addi-
tional cent on his gasoline and II
he is DESTROYS Of making UP for
this cost. he may forego a little
pleasure riding"
Under either plan. according to
Lee, more than half the tax will
be paid by property owners who
own automobiles. but under the
proposed plan foreign automobile
owners who use the roads in the
State will be given an opportunity
to pay for the benefits the I'M
provements afford them.
