BILL WOULD CUT

???
Minimum of $9 Favored in
Bill Likely To Receive
Committee Approval
?
The highway department is sched
uled to lose $1,200,000 in revenue if
the proposed reduction in automobile
licenses goes into effect. It is report
ed that the subcommittee of the joint
roads committee will report favorably
the bill introduced by Senator White,
of Robeson, which would reduce the
minimum tax to $9 by a reduction in
the present 55 cents per J hundred
weight charge to 40 cents.
Based on present registrations the
state would thus lose about $1,200,000
in revenue. Proponents of a reduced
license fee argue that the state- would
lose nothing as a result of such reduc
tion because, they say, the loss in li
cense revenue would be made up by
an increased use in gasoline on which
the state collects a tax. Figures com
piled in Georgia, where auto tags have
been reduced to $3, disprove their con
tention.

the highway problems of the state
point oat that expert engineers say
that the average life of a concrete road
properly mintained under average
traffic loads, is 20 years and 8 months.
Most of North Carolina's roads of
that type were constructed between
1921 and 1926. Therefore, a tremen
dous amount of construction work will
be necessary in 1941-46. Many legis
lators say they believe that the state
should not reduce license fees, but any
Contemplated reduction be applied in
stead to the fund which looks forward
to the time when - the highways will
have to be rebuilt. This, they say,
would not result in still heavier tax
ation in the next decade for recon
struction because a fund will have
been created by that time which would
help largely to pay for such work.
In spite of such arguments, how
ever, it is almost certain that some
reduction in automobile licenses will
be made. , Reduction below the $9
level is remote, despite the number of
bills introduced which would cut the
fee to $5. Most such measures were
introduced merely to keep campaign
promises. Few introducers of tho^
bills had any hope at all that they
would be adopted. The 15-cent, $9
reduction hill is the lowest figure at
which observers at the state capital
will place lowered license costs.
