principle on which the highway

been founded is fraught with
serious dangers and every proposal
for toll highways should be care
fully Scrutinized. the American
Automobile Association warns.
Pointing out that the toll road
issue would come up in several
state legislatures during the cur
rent sessions. Thomas p. Henry,

vival of the agitation to two
