Taning Commercial Trucks Regulation Debate In Michigan
A proposed state measure in the legislature, backed by the state highway department, would classify motor freight and messenger trucks as new carriers under Public Utilities Commission oversight and levy a graduated tax into the state highway fund. The piece argues private farm and business vehicles be exempt, criticizes current rights of way, and urges fair upkeep contributions from commercial truck operators while praising railways and electric lines for historic expenses. It also urges local civic cooperation with merchants to sustain home towns and contrasts urban shopping with distant orders. Wakefield concerns about city politics and civic reform follow.
