Highway expert argues against lower motor tax
Des Moines reports Fred R. White chief engineer told legislative committees that lowering motor vehicle fees is not economical for motorists. He projected a two cent cooling tax could raise about 4.5 million yearly and detailed the primary road fund shortfalls and recent construction progress. White compared Iowa taxes unfavorably to other states, noting Ford owners pay far less locally and urging no cut in motor license fees without new funding.

White's talk on Iowa roads hits bond plan row
Reported disturbances during a Iowa good roads discussion centered on federal aid, with Bowman of Waterloo resigning as secretary over the $85,000,000 bond program and challenging Engineer White’s figures. Bowman urged aid based on $5,783,843 rather than $235,192, urging use of local tax contributions. Subcommittees led by Shaff and Mouse move to draft the highway bill as hearings continue.
