In Phoenix June 13 AP reports the Arizona Supreme Court heard the mandamus bid by the state institutions board to force Treasurer J C Callaghan to credit half of the three cent gas tax to the State Highway Department and one third of the rest to the 75 per cent county fund. The secretary of state had refused to credit 50 percent to two channels, while 5 percent goes directly to counties. Arguments favored the treasurer’s view that 1923 statute goals were met by raising 50000 dollars, with the board and attorney general urging a continuing appropriation and disbursement prior to the 1.5 million dollar plus raise.
