Two weeks after addressing diversions in cities George A. Dornin chairman of the Traffic Committee spoke from WFBR on proper use of motor vehicle funds. He outlined that a statewide traffic survey is underway by the U S Bureau of Public Roads but results won t be ready for over a year and a half and legislative action will take over two years. In the interim the experiences of other states will guide fund use and road preservation.
A detailed analysis argues Maryland should reallocate motor tax revenues to reflect where driving occurs. It contends City residents drive more on state highways and farmers on state roads, urging a 4 cent gas tax and proportional funding to main state highways, county roads, land service roads, and city streets. It criticizes current splits favoring Baltimore City and counties, warning reforms must focus on road improvement rather than political gain.
The remark suggests that while there may be room for argument on taxation, those who pay motor taxes have a particularly strong stake in the outcome and policy. The statement underscores active civic engagement by taxpayers in tax matters and policy discussions.
