Tennessee Taxes Take Effect to Fund Roads
President Eisenhower hesitates but taxes for roads go into effect Sunday. A 1 cent gas tax increase and higher taxes on tires, tread rubber, trucks, trailers, and buses fund the nation’s road-building program. In Tennessee, Ben Ballenger lives in a 49 foot cave along the Holston River, a longstanding retreat since 17 years ago when his sweetheart left him for another man. Ballenger, a Knoxville native and former Navy man, keeps in touch with news, sleeps on an Army cot, and plans to marry only if it suits him, preferring life in the cave over city confines.
