Wednesday.

Gov. Stanley. who was turned
down in his request to the 1854
General Assembly for a l-cent
gas tax increase. asked the Legis-
lature last year for a study of
the States methods of allocating
highway funds.
The VALC engaged Parsons,
Brinckerhoff, Hall and Macdon-
aid of New York to make the
study. In their report the con-
sultants recommended that addi-
tional funds for highways be OBJ
tanned by a l-cent increase in
the gasoline tax and a So pei
vehicle boost in the registration
fees.
Other recommendations were
That Federal grants for con-

Just Part of Job
If he doesn't. the opposing
Senator will be right on his feet
after the roll call to ask that he
be recorded against. But this is
seldom necessary.
Calling the roll is only part
of Mr.. Cohen's job as reading
clerk-a position he fills at the
Senate's request by taking a
leave of absence each year as
assistant city solicitor in Balti-

it as a political appointment.
The clerk must read the num-

tanned through the proposed in
