Suits Totaling $4,000
Settled Out of Superior
Court To-day

Two civil actions in which dam

transportation Key
Note Of Elton Talks


mercial transportation costs each
person in the state $40 Q year; the
federal government spends millions
for the establishment and improve
ment of flying fields.
Mr. Policy linked the growth Of
railroads with the growth of mod
ern America as he pointed out
how the roads had helped spread
and broaden civilization throughout
America.
Last year, he pointed out, the
government spent q sum of $32,-
100000 on mail contracts, which,
he charged, are but subsidies for
the air companies. On those air
lines last year passengers number
ing 100000 were flown, making
government expenditure $50 a per-
son. That, he said, explained the
cheapness of air travel.
Although less than three per
cent of the states registered motor
vehicle are buses and trucks, he
stated, modern highways are being
made several times as wide for
their sole benefit. Such trucks,
he alleged, make highway cost
particularly since the state
of Connecticut allows lotion We
hicles.
Truck and bus interests should
pay 81 per cent of highway ex-
pense. he said, but instead pay
but q fraction of that amount. The
burden, therefore, he charged, rest.
ed with the private car owner and
the taxpayer.
He urged the end of all sub
sldized transportation as a means
Of eliminating transportation waste.
Each of the transporting agencies,
he said, will then find it's econ
omic place and will provide the
service for which 1t is best fitted.
A plea for non-interference with
highway transportation was made
by Mr. HORNE, as he declared that,
left alone, the trucking industry
will reach new heights Of business
volume and efficiency. He at
tackled discriminatory and confis-
catory taxes and claimed that truck
owners would rather leave business
than stand for further increases.
