WOULD USE GAS TAX
FEES ONLY ON ROADS
Road Builders Find Approx.
mately 5000, 900, 1000 Yearly
Turned to Relief Needs.

BY the Associated Press.
A vigorous effort to return gasoline
tax and motor vehicle license fees to
State road-building funds is being
made by the American Road Builders
Association. it was learned yesterday.
1t is expected that the associations
fight to divert these moneys from
emergency relief and other purposes
for which they now are frequently
used will be crystallized at the an
nual convention early next year.
Highway officials declare that va
rious States are now diverting ap-
proximately $4,000 900 a year from
these sources to other uses If this
program is continued, they say, road
Improvements will be jeopardized, and
ultimately these States will be unable
to share Federal appropriations.
The general convention theme will
be: Continuation of an adequate high
way program, use Of highway revenues
for highway purposes only and con-
tinuation of Federal appropriations for
highways.

DEARTH OF BANKING
LEGISLATION SEEN
Fixing Deposit Insurance at
$4,000 Maximum Only Ger.
tain" of Passage.

BY the Associated Press.
Washington fiscal authorities be-
lieve there will be dearth Of new
banking legislation at the next ses-
sion of Congress.
At the moment it appears to them
the only measure almost certain to 90
through will be an amendment TO
the banking act Of 1888 setting the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. S
maximum liability at $4,000. This was
hinted at the recent convention of the
American Bankers Association by Leo
T. Crowley, chairman of that agency.
1t is also considered very likely some
consideration will be given to con-
solidating the Offices of the controller
of the currency and the F. D. l. C.
Some amendments to the Federal
Reserve act might also be sought
with the view to placing administra-
ton of the open market policy Of the
Reserve banks in the hands Of the
board rather than in the banks them
selves.

stantial expansion in cash business of
retail clothing firms and an improve
ment in collections on credit sales
were noted today in survey made
by the National Association of Retail
Clothiers and Furnishers.
Collections average almost IS per
cent better than year ago and in
many sections of the country cash
business has expanded to the detri-
ment of credit sales, the survey
showed.
Seventy-four per cent of the re-
ports indicated better collection con-
ditions than a year ago; 81 per cent
showed conditions to be about on a
par and per cent of the reports
said collections were not as good The
improvement was greater in the West

PASS ON UTILITIES
BOOKKEEP|NGPLAN|
Certain Methods Are Decid.
ed by Securities and Ex-
change Commission.
By the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOCiateQ fTeSS.
The Securities and Exchange Com
mission has decided conServatively on
the extent to which it should require
utility companies to adopt certain
bookkeeping methods.
But this conservatism has not pre-
vented the commission from agreeing,
in three different opinions. that the
method in question is far from perfect
Question at Issue.
The question was whether debts still
owed on bonds should be provided for
annually out of earnings or whether
they could be paid of by charging
them against surplus created through
valuation write-up made by an af-
flliate company.
The commission decided it would
prefer the first method as being fairer
to stockholders, but three commission
ers held that all that was legally re-
quired was for the company to dis
close what happened. This was done.
The other two commissioners in
sisted the balance sheet should be
changed so as to show in a different
way what actually happened-to wit,
in the opinion of one commissioner
that the surplus really was much less
than appeared.
Disagreement Disclosed.
Thereupon, following an unusual
procedure for public agencies of this
character. it disclosed publicly that
there had been a disagreement, and
at the same time noted the facts
about the company in an unmistakable
manner. Commissions usually simply
report final decisions.
The commission also followed
through on another policy-that of
emphasizing certain facts, even though
it felt it could not legally change the
situation. This is on the basis Of the
acts theory that publicity will protect
the investor.

Patriotic Celebration Tomorrow

Mayor w. H. Malone is request

join in the patriotic celebration
tomorrow and cooperate with the
Kappa Pi Y Club of Key West in
making the day one of happiness
and enjoyment. His message to
the people is as follows:
"Thc Fourth of July for the past
seven years has not been adequate
ly celebrated in Key West. The
anniversary Of American Indepen-
dence should never pass without
fitting observance. 1t represents
that period in our history when we
received all that is dear to the
American heart, political indepen-
dence.
'At great sacrifice and arduous
labor, the Kappa ri Y Club of Key
West has undertaken a fitting en-
tertainment for the people of Key
West, for the Fourth of July, re-
viving a custom which has some
what fallen into neglect.
II therefore, as mayor of the
City of Key West, respectfully re-
