Motorists To Pay $41 Billion In
Cos, Cor ToxeS In Next Il Years

NEW YORK-Nearly $41 bill
lion will pour into state treas
uries for road, street and high
way purposes in the next IL
years, equaling all highway funds
collected since the invention of
the automobile.
This estimate of future state
highway fund receipts, based on
present collection trends, was
forecast in the Tax Economics
Bulletin, bi-monthly publication
of the American Petroleum In
dustries Committee.
with such a large amount to
spend for highway purposes each
year, the states should be able to
make further strides in meeting
the nations requirements for
highway maintenance and inn
provement, particularly if ex-
penditures are concentrated on
themore heavily travelled routes,
the Bulletin article said.
In reviewing highway fund re-
ceipts since 1914, the Bulletin
points out that "a tremendous
upsurge has been particularly
evident in the postwar years,
during which the yield from
highway-user levies has approxi-
mately doubled.
The guardian., 1951-03-31

The gasoline tax alone pro-
duced $1,473,366,0OO in 1949 and
reached an estimated $1.6 billion
in 1850, the article said. Registra-
ton fees and motor carrier taxes
also increased tremendously, pro-
ducing 1858, ,723, 900 in 1949.
The nations motorists bore the
heaviest burden of these high
way costs, the Bulletin said, con-
tributing rs percent of the SAL
billion total in highway-user
taxes.
Tracing the increase in high
way fund collections, the article
points out that more than $34 bill
lion, or about SO percent of all
highway funds, came in the 1929
40 period and that some $40 bill
lion had been collected since
1889.
In analyzing the trend of high
way user taxation, the Bulletin
said that there is an almost auto
matte gain in receipts to provide
additional road funds as they are
required to keep pace with the
growth of highway transporta-
ton.

Dodge Army trucks began

and since that time these orders

A contract for Chrysler to
make medium tanks was an
nounced by the Ordnance Tank
and Automotive Center in De-
troit in December 1850. The
announcement pointed out hat
although it was one of the
largest tank contracts made
since the end of World War II,
it was only a preliminary con
tract to pave the way for volume
output in the future.
Ground has been broken and
construction is under way on a
tank plant in Newark, Del,
which the corporation is build
ing for this purpose.
In January supplemental
contract was announced for the
development and production of
additional tanks of new design
and different specifications.
At the same time, the Ord
nance department also made
public plans for the corporation
to make tank engines. This pro-
ject has subsequently been de-
veloped and the Chrysler di-
vision will operate a large plant
in New Orleans for this purpose.
Also in January, the u. S.
Navy announced "an agreement
whereby Pratt and Whitney Air
