"In those cases where there are
no reasonably regular means of

private vehicle must be affirma
tively supported by an affidavit to
the effect that there was no such

"wnere private conveyance may

Prior to the issuance of the or
der it was customary for state em
ployes and officials to use their
private machines on official busi
ness and to receive 10 cents i

"In view of the development of
the highways and the growing use
of the automobile In the trans
portation of public business there
has been an Inclination on the
part of public officials-and -em
ployes to operate their .private
motor vehicles. In", connection with
their official duties." Secretary of
State Kozer said yesterday. "With
the development of highways has
also come the establishment . of
motor stages between various
cities and towns on almost every
improved hlghwayahroughout the
state. While possibly there has
been no. premeditated use of the
private vehicle In . preference to
the railroads and stage lines, it Is
apparent from the expense claims
of many state employes that the
private vehicle Is often. used and
charged for on a mileage basis
when the railroads or stages are
just as readily available and at a
muchness cost to the state for the
service to be rendered.
