Bill To Raise Money for Road Program
Features Special Fee for Heavy Trucks

; WASHINGTON, pa bill to
raise gasoline, tire and other high
way excise taxes will go before
the House with an added starter
a special registration fee for heavy
trucks.
The House Ways and Means
Committee, which voted for the
truck tax Wednesday, estimated
it will add 5000 million to the
proposed new taxes, raising the
total during the next Is years to
nearly $14 billion.
The money, along with the yield
from present highway taxes, is to
be used for a 1ong-range road
building program with emphasis
on a 0,000-mile network of stra-
tegic interstate highways. Present
and projected taxes will make an
estimated $38, 100000 avail
able as the federal share of the
$51 billion program.
Rep. Reed CNY), senior Repuhli-
can on the committee, proposed
the truck tax. A bill without it, he
said, would be completely I'M
fair" to ordinary motorists.
The bill would impose a yearly
registration fee of $3.50 per 1000
pounds for all trucks weighing
over $4,000 pounds, based on
either the weight of the unloaded
truck or on its licensed carrying
capacity, whichever is greater.
The weight limit was fixed to
make it apply to heavy CONNER
eial trucks, of which there are
about 100000.
Other provisions of the bill
would apply uniformly to all We
hicles regardless of size or weight.
They would raise the gasoline
and diesel fuel tax from to 3
cents a gallon; the tire tax from
to cents a pound; and the tax
on trucks, buses and trailers from
to 10 perment of value.

City Council Hears
McNees Report On
Cities League

John McNees, who represented
the City of Nome at the League of
Alaskan Cities, gave a very COM
prehensive report Monday eve
ming. Although the meeting was
held in October, this was his first
opportunity to make the report,
as he went directly from Anchor
age to the Constitutional Conven-
ton.
McNees recommended that at
the next meeting of the League
the mayor, a councilman and a
member Of the Public Utilities
Board attend.
Answering some of the Coun-
ellis questions following his re-
port, he stated that other cities
are faced with the same sales tax
issue in relation to merchandise
coming in over the dock for indi-
viduals and not intended for re-
sale, but no solution is known at
present.
On the recommendation of the
city attorney for the rewriting of
the City ordinances, McNees stat
ed he had investigated and found
that legal fees for the same job in
Anchorage amounted to $1,000
plus another $4,000 for other
work.
McNees reported that the League
was planning to work hard for
legislation to make it possible for
Alaskan cities to be able to collect
3 percent sales tax as is done in
many states.
His report also revealed that to
increase city taxes for needed in
creased revenue Cordova and 9TH
err cities had re-evaluated their as
sessed property and charged %
percent whereas Nome has only
| percent.
A request by Charles Mills,
barber, for a shooting tunnel was
denied by the Council.
The Council approved the APP
preparation of not more than
81, 900 for special wing blades"
for the DID, to assist with snow
removal.
A letter from DR.. Rude, chair
man of the Board of Juvenile In
stitutions, suggests and urges the
city to turn down all applications
from liquor dealers who have
been caught during the year sell
ing to minors.
