The Stacy substitute slso provides part of the Htevcns-Scales bill but would allow tli o tax on automobiles to remain the same ss at present, this being 13, 7.50 and 10 annually for the different sizes , respectively. The new feature provided that counties de siring to go ahead with the construe tion of their part of the contemplated State system may do so after having tho route surveyed and approved by the State Highway Commission and shsll receive payment for same at the price considered eqaitablo and reasonable at such time as the fund from The State Highway money shall be available.
