Ohio State Automobile Club urges highway protection bill
The Ohio State Automobile Association campaigns for Senate Bill No. 34 to curb overloaded trucks and protect highways. It urges auto clubs to pressure Governor Davis to sign, arguing current drivers pay little tax while destroying roads and that the measure would reduce weight limits and regulate speeds to preserve state highways. The Lorain County club supports the bill and asks Governor Davis to sign.
