WINTER I OVERCOAT. Don’t Go Out Without It. ©1983 A H Robins Consumer Products Division. Richmond, Virginia 23230 Letter To The Editor This is an invitation for you to join other North Caroli nians in a movement to make every vehicle pay its fair share to repair and maintain North Carolina’s roads and highways. Even though the Congress recently passed an additional five-cents-a-gallon gasoline tax, and although North Carolina passed a three-cents a-gallon tax in 1981, it is like ly that our General Assembly will consider still another tax on gasoline. Big money is at stake. North Carolina must have ad ditional revenues if it is to maintain our 56,000 miles of roads and if we are to share in massive Federal funding projects. North Carolina must raise from S4O- to S6O-million in matching funds to claim from $l6O to $265 million from Federal gas tax funds for roads. But rather than another North Carolna tax on gasoline, we, the N.C. Road Savers Council, advocate a fair share highways users arrangement. This would raise some SBO-million annually, and much of it come from out-of state sources. This would permit us to qualify for Federal road funds. It would help us protect our great investment in good roads programs and help us protect jobs—in agriculture and industry and related areas—that depend on good roads. And we urge you to get in touch, as soon a possible, with your legislators. Please ex press to them your interest in JOHN DOWD & ASSOCIATES, INC.
