Senate Ejects Motor Fee Bill in Des Moines Showdown
Des Moines April 14 The senate rejected the joint motor vehicle bill after weeks of committee work and adopted a substitute aimed at easing truck fees while placing heavier charges on passenger cars. The measure ties license taxes to vehicle value and weight, with rates set by biennial classifications and distributed 95 percent to counties, plus funds for state departments and highway work. If the house rejects the substitute, a conference committee may reconcile the bills.
