Bills would add three million to road fund
Senate President Bean announced three bills in the 1957 Legislature that could raise about three million dollars yearly for roads. He noted funds would support maintenance of primary and secondary roads under federal aid. One bill would replace the state gasoline tax with a read tax on large interstate trucks and buses, potentially yielding up to one and a half million dollars. Another would set passenger car registration at 20 dollars annually, about five hundred thousand dollars. The third would quadruple the automobile driver license fee from one to four dollars for four years, about one million dollars.

House Okays 2 New Divisions
The House of Delegates approved bills to create a Department of Mental Health and a Department of Finance and Administration. The plan, supported by Gov. Underwood and most Democrats, would separate mental health from the Board of Control and consolidate finance functions. The measures go to the Senate for action, with the fiscal bill already passed there but returning for a House amendment. The mental health bill awaits Senate action.
