LEGISLATURE Asked
To Abolish County
Highway Patrol
lspeelal 10 the chronieIe. starl

Especial to the Chronicle STAR
A bill that would wipe out
the system of the hiring Of high
way patrolmen by counties-now
in existence in Jackson county
and three others-was n OF
twelve bills presented to the leg
islature by the recess committee
investigating the states gasoline
tax and motor vehicle laws.
Another bill in the group OF
twelve which would directly al
feet the coast counties would re-
ouire that all gasoline taxes col
lected for several purposes be
sent by the state tax collectors
office to the state treasurer as
disbursing agent rather than to
the county chancery clerks.
The group Of bills was drawn
up by a committee of which SEN
ator Oscar Wolfe of Bolivar coun-
ty i'm the delta is chairman. 1t
was conceded in Jackson this
week at the opening of the legis-
lature that most of the recom-
mendations Of the committee had
a good chance of passage.
The bill affecting highway
patrolmen would increase the
present state patrol force rom
about fifty, at present, to a nun
bred men AT the same time, the
system of county-hired highway
patrolmen, which now exists III
jackson, Harrison, Hines and
Lauderdale counties, would be
abolished.
Force Too Small
Proponents of the bill said
in Jackson that the present state
force is too small, requiring the
dangerous practice of operating
highway patrol al with only
one officer. They claimed also
that the county patrol system
was not satisfactory.
Senator Wolfe said that the
bill affecting seawall taxes would
not change the tax rate o.. take
monies away from the counties,
but would change the discussing
agent. Some of the coast coun-
ties have not been paying Off
the seawall bonds but have been
using the money for other pur-
poses and refunding the bonds
as they fell due" he said. He said
he did not have figures at hand
to discuss the situation in spe-
cific counties.
In Jackson County. K. w. Burn
ham, president of the board of
supervisors, pointed out that
Jackson county had not default
ed any obligations nor refunded
seawall bonds.
THE conditions which the COM
missions seawalF bill are in
tended to correct have occurred
in Harrison and Hancock county,
but not in Jackson" he said. i
recently made a statement at a
meeting in Boston that jack
son county was the only county
in the country that had never fail-
ed to meet an obligation, and theN
checked up on me and found thai
| was right
In the coast counties, the state
collects 81 cents. OF this money
the state has been returning one
and a half cent to the county
for seawall bond-payment, ano
approximately two cents OF the
county tax has been earmark-
ed BY the authorizing legisla-
ton for these purposes.
Senator Wolfe said, however,
that in the coast counties the
seaWall tax money has usually
mixed in a general fund along
with other income from motor
vehicles such as the license Zee
and in this wav it has often been
used far other purposes than
paying the seawall bonds for
which the tax was authorized.
