Barge lobby fights to sink waterway toll plan

Capitol Hill dispute over a Stevenson Domenici tax plan for barge fuel and a 10 percent cost recovery on new navigation projects faces strong opposition from Missouri senators Eagleton and Danforth and the farm lobby. The plan phases in a 12 cent per gallon fuel tax over five years starting in 1979, exempts Lock and Dam 26 at Alton, and directs a 10 percent cost recovery managed by DOT with a 1981 study to review the scheme. The administration calls the plan a minimum acceptable basis for talks, while critics push for alternative measures and aim to protect the Alton project and river users.
