While the commission took up in

a tribute from the heavy haulers
which' now go wfthout paying any
thing on the roads they weight d6wn,
this was done informally and do rec
ommendations were made as to these
features. The commission likes the
Maryland law, but will , not recom
mend it now. The committee adopt
ed the three-cent gasoline tax and re
commended the issuing of 1 5 , 0 0 0 ,

bly, fot the completion of the high
way program. Y
In recommending powers of the
state highway commission to legis
late away some of the grade cross
ings, the state would pay half the
expense of underpass or overhead
bridge and the railroads the other
half. The legislature two years ago
came near taking this issue, but lost
its nerve.
