TRUCKERS OPPOSE.
PRIVATE TOLL ROAD
4. P. nlrsh S,ys State knoch-
ton VIII Fight Project

Opposition to the proposed toll
road from New York to Boston. ~
explained In yesterdays Herald will
be waged by the Motor Truck asso-
citation Of Connecticut. according to
A. p. Marsh Of this city. state secro-
tary Of the motor truck association.
Mr.. Marsh said today that he had
not had sufficient time to formulate
= statement Of the associations
policy and intimated that an addt-
tional statement would be forth
coming in the near future.
Asked why the motor truck asso-
citation, which represents more than
1000 trucks on Connecticut roads II
opposed to the new road. which h
expected to DO an S. million dollar
highway crossing the state Of Con-
necticut and which il expected to
save the state at least SO million dol
lars more. Mr.. Marsh said the asso-
citation IL opposed to any private or
toll roads on general principals.
The state should build it, own
roads and not permit them to be
built by private INTEREST,"" added
Mr.. Marsh. explaining that even toll
bridges now are passing out Of exist
ence. The only kind Of toll road or
bridge which the Motor Truck asso-
citation can favor. the secretary ex-
planned IL one built by the state or
the federal government and which
must charge toll for certain period
of time to pay construction and
maintenance charges, such a. the
Bear Mountain bridge.
Mr.. Marsh called attention to
statements made by Thomas H.
Macdonald. chief of the U. 3. bu-
reau Of public roads in an address
before the American. Association of
state highway officials at Chicago
recently. where the official pointed
out That '.the widely advertised
profitable nature of private toll
bridge franchises and their results
Of highway transport ,urveys, which
have definitely shown the heavy
flow of traffic. on main arterial
roads, have stimulated visions of an
other. type of gold mine-the pri-
Sately owned toll road"
1.-The only thing we can conscien-
tiously approve" said Secretary
Marsh. "is absolute freedom of the
highways for everybody. with no
special privileges for special
classes"

little larger than for the same num-
Der ct days last season but the per-
Tod left for new business 10 less %
that On some day next week hun
drsda ef measures will be due.
Outsfanding in the weeks offering
was the bill which would create =

county. almost 4 facsimile Of bill
offered last season to At Fairfield

the time was designed to open up
the racing game in Connecticut un-
der = commission at which pools

two years ago that many wealthy

to finance Z large undertaking In
the "wilds Of Fairfield county" close
by the New York state border which
would include = racing track. exciu-
sive club house, stables and layout
which would compare with the best
track in the country. The project
was expected to appeal to track fol-
lowers In New York state. where 1t
had been predicted the end Of racing

bile taxation bills appeared and the
chief among them was that under

lect taxes from machine owners and
then turn the money back into the
local treasures much ~ It does un-
der the law by which the tax on
securities is collected by the state

commissioner more supervisory pow
ers over boxing IL in line with Gov

dent, 1t 10 expected that this session
