Automobile Taxation, to be Used In
Repairing State Road,
The State Highway Department is
prepariog to begin repair work at once
on the Btate highways of the Com-
monwealth, The decision of the
Dauphin county court handed down
last week releases for this purpose the
sum of $1,028,662, which is the ac-
cumulated money derived from the
taxation of automobiles and licensing
of diivers during the current year,
Ualess further delay is caused by an
appeal taken from this decision the
“good roads’ cause will receive an
uc lift in Pennaylvania,
Now that the right of the Btate
Highway Department to this sum of
money has been judicially approved,
interest centers in the uses to which
this million dollar fucd will be ap-
plied. Btate Highway Commissioner
Bigelow, who naturally is gratified at
the decision of the court, says that the
money will be used for the purpose of
putting in first clas condition all of
the State highways of the Common-
wealth,
A point of interest in connection

which the $1028665 was derived
