STATE VOTES
IN june ON
ROAD BONDS
Question of Issuing $S,000,0O0
in Debenutres Is Sent
to People.
Aim Is to Promote Funds to
Match Federal Aid for
Post War Work.

HELENA - Montana voters will
decide next June 8 the question OF
issuing 900 in highway deben-
ture bonds to finance a postwar
road building program.
The legislature completed action
Wednesday on a measure calling for
the special election and the bill now
goes to the governor for his sigma
ture. The proposal was submitted
to the assembly after a group OF
state civic and business leaders met
with Gov. Sam G. Ford to draft
the plan.
In its final form, the bill call
ing for the bond election pro-
vides for an additional 1-cent-per-
gallon tax on gasoline and an addi-
tional 214 = cent = per-gallon tax on
diesel fuel sold in the two years
starting July l. The proposal would
bring the total gasoline tax to 6
cents a gallon and the total diesel
tax to 7ia cents per gallon.
Opponents of the plan-including
principally those who object to in
creased auto fuel taxes-battled the
proposal to the last but the report
of a conference committee which
put the bill in its final form was
adopted 80 to 10 by the senate and
SO to "a by the house.
The senate accepted, but the
house rejected, the report of a con-
ference committee on a state bill
which originally would have permit
ted the liquor control board to give
5 percent reductions in CASE lot
sales of retail liquor establishments.
The house had amended the bill to
and the conference group had rec
commended that the measure be re-
turned to its original form.
After some discussion, it was de-
cided to reject the report and a
new six = member conference COM
mittee was named.
Governor Ford notified the house
he had vetoed a bill which would
have permitted catching of catfish
with set lines in portions of the
Yellowstone and Missouri rivers and
he returned two bills to the senate
without his signature. One of the
latter would have provided for no
conflicts between the federal and
state food and drug laws and the
other would have required all state
agencies to list their rules and reg
ulations and make a copy available
at the secretary of states office.
