Arkansas Supreme Court terms on gasoline exemption case
Little Rock Feb 2 The supreme court met today for a probable decision next Monday in a case testing the 1941 law exempting 120 gallon exemptions on gasoline brought to Arkansas in fuel tanks. The department appealed from Pulaski county which upheld the act contending it discriminated against other vehicles. The case involves the Santa Fe Trail Transportation Company. Two personal injury damage judgements in Crawford and Saline counties were reversed. The court held the truck driver was an independent contractor, not an employer, in a collision near Mulberry on U S highway 64. Other appeals including a Saline county case against the Missouri Pacific Railway were dismissed for lack of evidence. Continued on Page Four.
