Mass. Motor Conference
 Discusses Legislation

Worcester, Mass, Jan. P - The Massachusetts motor vehicle conference meeting here yesterday took definite action on many mat ters affecting the motor industry and motorists which are expected to come before the state legislature during the present session.
 The conference voted to support any bill introducd for the removal of Frank A. Goodwin, registrar of motor vehicles, and Wesley E. Monk, insurance commissioner, from the board of appeals estab- lished under the compulsory auto- mobile insurance law. It asserted that the action was not on personal grounds but because it did not be- lieve that the men should be al- lowed to pass judgment on evidence which might be collected by their office.
 Governor Fuller's recommenda- tions for reduction, in automobile registration fees and substitution of a gasoline tax was praised but the conference expressed the belief that the time was not yet appropriate for any change in the present forms of motor vehicle taxation. The con- ference then passed a resolution op- posing the proposed gasoline tax of two cents a gallon.
