The onlv thimr neces sary is to make sure nf legislation that these revannae q,q spent exclusively for road purposes. lo do otherwise would not only be a travesty on good judgment and sound fiscal policy but a breach of trust with highway users who nav nut nn. nually millions of dollars in s-asnline taxes and motor vehicle registration fees for better roads and highways." "The average automotive tax bill," he continued, "amounting tn mnra than $100 per vehicle in North Caro lina, is among the highest in the coun try. In fact, the motor vehicle own ers in this State paid m6re on the average in state gasoline taxes, state motor vehicle fees, federal caanlina taxes and other federal excises during 4t tnan m all except three other states throughout the nation. As compared with the average for the United States, the North Carolina averacre is about $25.00 Der vehiVla per year higher. At the same time." Mr. Snaro-ar concluded, "North Carolina citizens are less able to bear a heavy load of taxation than are citizens of most other states.
