State Highway Program Killed In The House
Santa Fe March 28 Practically all of the state highway department s legislative program was laid quietly to rest by the house today Without discussion or adverse vote the lower chamber adopted unfavorable committee reports on ten measures all sponsored by the highway department as the outgrowth of a lengthy survey of New Mexico road conditions. Although technically killed by the action the bills may be revived by reconsideration if the house later should find reason to change its mind. The unfavorably reported measures would read money to road uses and set a 25 000 000 ceiling on state highway debt allow the highway commission to turn state roads back to counties for maintenance set up a uniform traffic control system provide for reporting of accidents to the highway commission and the compilation of data from the reports authorize the commission to establish freeways increase license fees on trucks and raise commercial mileage taxes prohibit operation of motor vehicles loaded in excess of rated tire capacity. Two other highway bills to raise the gasoline tax from five to six cents and vest all gas tax as power in the state were not reported. A senate measure to allow the issuance of county bonds for construction of an auditorium at Albuquerque reached the house floor without recommendation.
