Economy Bills Hearings Set On State Reform Proposals
Columbus January 17. The Joint Legislative Committee on economy named by the last Legislature seeks public hearings on its proposals, aiming to have them considered early in the session. Senator Joseph N. Ackerman will chair a hearing on economy measures including a proposed State Safety Department to absorb the Prohibition Department. A joint hearing with the House is favored to gauge Gov. Cooper’s views, with subcommittees to study his wishes. Backers claim growing support for the safety department and warn hearings will pack crowded rooms as arguments begin. Debate over a gasoline tax also looms, with proposals to drop to two cents or raise to fund a six year road program, alongside calls to raise auto license fees. The Ohio Good Roads Federation and Township Trustees seek tax hikes to support roads, potentially lifting the levy to four and a half cents. Continued on Second Page.
