TAX DIVERSION FOUGHT
By U. S. ROAD BUILDERS
Motor Vehicle Drivers Only Should
Benefit, Says Cleveland
Highway ohicial.

Motor vehicle taxes should be used
for the benefit Of motor vehicle drivers
and any diversion Of such taxes to
other uses than roads will be fought to
the bitter end by the $4,000 900 motor
vehicle owners-one-fif Of the popu-
lation OF the United States" This
statement was made by G. B. Sewers,
commissioner Of engineering and con-
struction OF Cleveland, and president Of
the city officials division of the Amer
lean Road Builders Association.
There are numerous examples OF the
diversion Of gasoline tax funds to con-
servation commissions and purposes
other than road purposes that so far
do not amount to very much in money"
he said. But the principle of the
gasoline tax Is that Of a special tax in
lieu Of toll for the use Of the roads.
The reason the tax has been so popular
in the past is that the money has been
spent for the benefit OF those who pay
the tax
Motorists are interested in roads
and some are already seeking to have
motor vehicle taxes reduced when the
proceeds are not put back into roads,
Some Legislatures are killing the goose
that laid the golden egg that has done
so much to stabilize road building.

BUS INDUSTRY PAYS
HUGE HIGHWAY SUM
sos, 800, 900 Contributed to Ma
tons Road Bill in Five
Years.

Common carrier bus lines have con-
tributed S108 100000 toward the Ma
tons highway bill during the last i've
years in the form Of special taxes and
fees for the use Of the highways, &C.
cording to the National Association of
Motor Bus Operators.
The bus association pointed out that
this tax bill is in addition to $50. OO0, 600
paid in general taxes an6 represents an
extremely heavy burden for q young
industry
Unlike railroads in their pioneer
days, aviation and steamship line, .
said the statement, the motor bus has
never enjoyed the helping hand of
Uncle Sam or the various States, but
has paid its way in taxes from the time
the f1rst bus was placed In use. In the
face Of this burden, however the num-
Der OF BUSES, as well as the mileage
covered, has steadily increased. This
indicates the wide acceptance of the
bus as medium of economical trans
portation
During the period of economic de-
preston, when every effort was being
made by Federal agencies to assist
transportation units, the motor bus in
dustry asked for no aid Nevertheless
service has been maintained at the
usual high standard. and rates, If any
thing, have been lowered. But there
has been no lowering of the tax burden
and increases in the gas tax rates dur
ing the current year in eight States Will
alone add hundreds of thousands of
dollars in additional taxes on ttle
motor bus"

CUBA FACILITATES
u. S. AUTO TRAVEL
MachadO Decree Lengthens
0uty-Free Motor Entry
to 270-Day Total.

HAVANA facilities for the
American motor tourist in Cuba, de-
spite revolution threats, have been
granted by the government on recon-
mendation of the Cuban National
Tourist Commission.
Tourist automobiles, heretofore per-
mitted duty-free entry through the
port of Havana for a period Of 80 days
with the privilege of 90-day renewal
under bond and with the purchase of
a temporary license, are now granted
free entry through the ports of Glen
fuegos, Matanzas and Santiago de
Cuba as well as Havana for a period
of $50 days with the privilege Of a 90
day extension.
Ruling Effective at Once.
The new ruling, established by a de-
cree signed by President Gerardo
Machado, becomes effective at once.
Mayor TirSo Mesa of Havana, presi-
dent of the tourist commission, regards
the signing of the decree as one of the
most forward steps Cuba has yet taken
in the development of its resort busi-
ness.
The new time extension on tourist
automobiles in Cuba" Mayor Mesa said,
will now make 1t possible for scores of
Wtnter-long American visitors to bring
their cars for the entire season. II
the country leisurely-the only salts
factory way of seeing and enjoying the
rich beauties Of rural Cuba.
Those of US who know the needs
and desires Of tourists have long known
that an amendment to our customs
regulations was necessary In the mat
ter Of tourist motor cars. And that
necessity has doubled since the COM
pletion Of our new 500 1000, 900 Central
Highway"
The inclusion in the time-extension
decree Of a clause permitting exporta-
ton OF touriSt-owned cars from San
tiago de Cuba and the two other ports
east OF Havana, is a great convenience
to the visitor, Mayor Mesa said. In that
1t saves time and eliminates the neces-
sity OF return to Havana should the
tourist care to leave Cuba at any port.
1000 U. S. Autos Visit Isle.
Custom house records for the past
year show that approximately 1000
American tourist automobiles
were brought to Cuba and that of this
number about 40 per cent remained for
A0AA oAAAlS l1lc
then existing Cuban law Although
only estimates are available, officials
OF the tourist commission believe so
per cent of this number would have re-
manned longer had the law allowed.
The fact that Santiago de Cuba,
famed as the chief battle-ground of
American troops during the Spanish
American War, has experienced a
steady rise in its tourist business during
the past year, indicates that the Central
Highway is opening new avenues of
travel to the American visitor, tourist
commission officials said. So prornis-
ing Is the outlook at Santiago that the
Bacardt Co., maker of the famous rum.
is adding a number of tourist attrac-
tons such as a fashionable beach ca
sino and other features. Santiago al
ready has the finest golf course In
Cuba, set in one of the most picturesque
valleys in the mountainous region of
Oriente Province.

NARROW BRIDGES
FALSE ECONOMY
Should Be Built Full Width States
American Road
Builder.

at Is false economy to build bridges
too narrow for the safety Of modern
high-speed trafic and culverts should
be long enough so that the traveller does
not see them as he passes" says H. G.
Shirley, vice president of the American
Road Builders Association.
For safety, all bridges should be at
least as wide as the travelled way
Through bridges that have trusses on
either side to support the roadway are
not easily widened. There is tendency
among engineers, where conditions war
rant, to build deck bridges with the
floor on top of the trusses so that the
roadway can be easily widened. For
smaller bridges, deck construction with
beams instead of trusses is used.
"Culverts should be long enough to
be unnoticed by the traveller as he
passes. They should be large enough so
that the land along the road will not
be flooded. Culverts are built for utility
and decorative headwalls are usually
out Of place and menace to motor
drivers"
Many roads have just grown UP with
the country and as these roads built for
travel at low speed evolve into paved
roads little change was made in the 10
cation. Modern high-speed traffic de-
mands revision of such low-speed
roads" adds r. c. Browning. chairman
of the Road Location Committee.
"A car travelling so miles an hour
passing car at As miles an hour will
encroach on the left lane Of traffic for a
distance of 46S feet. A road safe for
passing cars on its entire length must
be straight enough and have the tops
Of hills rounded so that a driver can
see at least 500 feet ahead. Many old
locations fail to meet this condition"
concluded Mr.. Browning.

TRAVELLING OVER DESERT
AMT WHAT 1T USED TO BE
Automobile Club of Southern Cali
fornia Says Good Roads
Now Prevail.

Motorists who put of thoughts of
touring to California for fear of cross
ing the great, forbtdding" deserts are
assured that driving across Western
desert lands "ain't what it used to be-"
Furthermore, 1t Is said, the miscon-
ception that fingers in the minds of
many that there are vast, interminable
distances of desert that requires days
and days OF weaTisome travelling is
greatly In error, for the longest desert
stretch on any cross country route in
California Is entirely paved and can
easily be covered in seven hours time.
In a recent transcontinental road re-
port of the Automobile Club Of Southern
California emphasis Is laid upon the
fact that good road conditions now pre-
vail over the great proportion of the
cross-country routes in the Western
deserts. and that settlements, gas sta
tions, garages and places for every type
Of desired accommodations are found at
very frequen. intervals

REPAV|NG STREETS
BOOM TO JOBLESS
Three FourthS of Money Ex-
pended Goes for
Labor.

How to make an old street q good
street is q comparatively easy matter
for modern road builders. The prevail
ing low construction prices and the
all too ample supply of labor make it
an ideal time for municipalities TO
smooth up at least a noteworthy part
of the mileage of bumpy and expensive
pavements that exist In every city and
town.
More Men Needed.
As has been repeatedly pointed out
by economists, public construction on
q large scale is the best way to meet
unemployment. Construction work calls
for probably greater numbers Of work
men than any other industry. Thomas
H. Macdonald, chief Of the United
States Bureau Of Public Roads, has
declared that no less than three -fourths
OF the money spent in road construc-
ton goes into the pockets Of labor
This year several hundred thousand
men are employed In building rural
highways, but the activity In country
roads is greatly nullified by the failure
Of cities and towns to improve their
streets and 10 build other needed public
improvements.
Most municipalities have more poor
streets than they have good ones, not
WAhAAcbNAlQlAlk that bA&cCG IOukll phfE-
ments may be costing the taxpayer and
motorist more than IL proper surfaces
were constructed. Streets improperly
surfaced are constantly in need of re-
pair, and, largely because no direct as
SeSsment Is made for these repairs, as
the money Is taken out Of general funds,
the taxpayer may be unaware Of the
high cost. The taxpayer motorigt also
loses, for rough surfaces run up the
cost Of operating cars through excess
tire and car wear.
Pavements, no matter how rough can
easily be resurfaced with a rigid ma
terial If the base is in any sort Of sta
bic condition. Cities throughout the
country are placing from four to six
inches Of concrete on top of old bases
and getting new streets for q reason
able initial outlay The former high
upkeep charges Will be eliminated and
the city may enjoy maintenance costs
so low they are scarcely noticeable.
Glen Ellyn, Ill. for instance has con-
creted practically every street In the
city and the maintenance cost aver
ages no more than SIS per mile yearly,
much less than other cities are paying
to keep up poor pavements.
So, in view Of the economies that
may be effected through resurfacing
properly, the municipality may provide
a great deal Of employment and obtain
bargain prices for facilities they actu-
ally need.

AUTO TAXES TWELVE
TIMES REAL ESTATE
President of American Automobile
Association Says Relief
Is Needed.

The American Automobile Association
today made public figures showing
that, on the basis of actual value. mo-
tor vehicle property pays taxes IL times
as heavy as the taxes on rural real es-
tate and seven times as heavy as the
taxes on urban real estate.
The A. A. A. figures are based on a
comprehensive study conducted by its
National Taxation Committee, of which
Col. Sidney D. Walden of Detroit is
chairman.
These findings" said Thomas p.
Henry. president of the A. A. A.,
should furnish an answer to the inter-
ests that are now urging the use of
State administration and a simultane-
Gus reduction Of land taxes. If there
is to be relief. surely IT should come
first to the property that bears the
heaviest burden"

AVERAGE GAS PASSES
U. S. REQUIREMENTS
indication Given by Recent Sur
Vey Of Bureau Of
Mines.

The great majority Of the regular

tons throughout the United States
pass the requirements CT the new speci-
hcation for United State Government
motor gasoline as indicated by a survey
OF commercial motor fuels Just com
pleted by the United States Bureau OF
Mines, Department Of Commerce. The
largest percentage Ct failure to meet
the Government specification occurred
in connection with the sulphur REQUIRE
ment: l5.5 per cent OF the gasolines
that were sold at the regular" price or
below failed to pass the requirement
which limits the sulphur content to o 10
per cent. No sample failed to pass the
eorrosion test, four samples failed to
meet the distillation requirements. and
four samples had vapor pressures in ex-
cess Of the maximum that is permitted
under the Federal specification, which
Is IL pounds per square inch.
That the volatility of commercial gas
oline sold last March was noticeably
higher than that Of the gasolines which
were sold during August Of the pre-
Vious year Is concluded by comparing
the results of the Reid vapor pressure
test and the distillation test. made on
samples collected last March and the
results obtained during the survey of
August, 1880.
gasoline survey in which these sam
pies were obtained Is the twenty third

number of automobile accidents.
according to a statement issued by
w. T. Palmer, an Official of a
ake-lining company, who is
making a Nation wide survey OF
the motorized accident situation.
This year." says Mr.. Palmer, "it
is estimated automobiles will kill
approximately 5000 people in this
country and will send more than
100000 to hospitals seriously in
jured. This is big increase even
over last year and represents a
ridiculous situation. Very little of
a practical nature is being done
to alleviate it.
1--WE shall never make real prog
resS with this growing emergency
until we tackle the problem at
its four main roots. Hare Is what
must be done if we are to save at
least rs per cent of the lives now
sacrificed annually to our motor
lied careleSsneSS and indifference:
Separate opposing lines of traffic.
Separate automobiles and pedeS-
trians. Enforce compulsory in
Spectio1S of cars. Eliminate rail-
road g'ade crossings.
Traffic must be separated by
parallel one-way roads, by steel
or concrete midroad fences and by
elevated or lowered side street
crossings.
Cars and walkers must be kept
apart by overpaSses or under
passes.
THE millions of people who,
unwittingly or knowingly, are
driving cars with defective head
lights, dangerously worn or badly
adjusted brakes, and ancient road
SCARED tires must be made to put
their cars in safe condition and
keep them that way.
Railroads, States, counties and
towns must cooperate to Danish
our 100000 crossings that are
causing 10 per cent of our auto
mobile fatalities.
These things, if started through
out the Nation now, would cost
hundreds of millions of dollars,
save thousands of useful lives a
year and give employment 10
countless needy workers. The work
would largely pay for itself in the
greater buying power of hordes
of skilled and unskilled laborerS.
IF delayed 10 years or longer the
yearly death toll will reach the
absurd total of $4,000 or 100000
and the work will cost billions of
dollars, putting a staggering load

Anent Spark Plugs.

The average motorist cannot be
sure that his car is performing
satisfactorily although he may
think it Is, Sumner S. Howard,
service engineer, told a group of
service men in session recently.
Many motorists, he said. cannot
tell when a cylinder is missing.
A missing spark plug in an g.
cylinder car, Mr.. Howard said,
means a power loss of one eighth;
in a 6-cylinder car one-Sixth and
in a 4-cylinder car one-fourth.
Besides this there is a gasoline
waste Of similar proportions.
The more cylinders in an engine,
Howard stated, the more difficult
it is for motorist to detect miss.
Today's modern high compression
engines, he said, are much harder
on spark plugs than the lower
compression engines of five or six
years ago. In present day engines
the economical life of a set of
spark plugs Is 10000 miles.
