Large Sum of High

I'm the 81" Walter 6OteI.
Raleigh, Nov. 27.-Three percent o.
every gasoline sale made in the State
must be held for possible diversion
to uses other than highway purposes
Thus a large sum is piling up in
the State treasury which cannot be
expended for any purpose until it is
determined that there will be no nee
essity for supplementing general fund
moneys with receipts from the gas
Oline tax.
It comes about from the act of the
1887 General Assembly in passing a
revenue measure authorizing the use
of highway funds up to $2,O0OOOO fo-
the biennium, if there shall be de-
ficit in general funds.
After passage of the act there was
some question whether or not tho
gasoline tax money could be spent for
highway purposes until this amount
subject to possible diversion, had been
accumulated.
According to Frank Dunlap, chair
man of the highway commission, a
was ultimately ruled that the regular
sales tax rate of three percent should
be figured against every sale OF gas
cline and this amount withheld II
order to meet the possible necessity
for diversion. :.

be no necessity for using any highway
money for other purposes this flsca

BUS RATE WAR IN

Greyhound's Plea for Boost
To Two Cents May Cause
DissensiOn

Raleigh, Nov. POSSIBILITY OF
real Touchdown and dragout bus rate
war in North Carolina is seen as the
result of the petition filed by the
Greyhound Lines seeking higher rates
in the State.
The chance for war exists because
the other companies operating in
North Carolina apparently do not in
tend to follow suit. Should the util-
ity commission grant the Greyhound
plea, then the fighting would be on. OF
course, if the petition is dismissed,
then things will go on as they now
are.
Bus rates in North Carolina are now
approximately one and one-half cents
per mile. The Greyhound seeks per
mission to increase them to about two
cents per mile.
Since the utility commissions re-
cent decision, the railroads have had
authority to increase their intrastate
passenger. traffic to two cents per
mile. as against the one and one-half
cent fare which has been in effect
ever since several southern roads cut
rates in an effort to revive a service
which had virtually gone to pot dur

IF the bus rates are left lower than

probability that the motor carriers
