Solons Seek Compromise On Tax Bill In Ohio House Action
A special sub committee was to draft a compromise measure for the Van Ness Bill to divert the one cent liquid fuel tax to roads. Rep. Samuel A. Anderson said the panel would meet after clashes between school officials and bill supporters. Van Ness argued the tax should fund roads, not schools, while Bowsher warned the schools face a seven point seven five million dollar deficit. Joseph Thomas urged immediate relief after floods damaged roads and bridges. The bill would allocate funds for highways, municipalities, counties, and townships with targeted shares.
