IS flat fee with an additional graduated ad valorem tax, instead of a S flat fee with one cent per gallon tax on gasoline, the senate Monday night recessed the com mlttee until 10 o'clock this morn ing without making final report. - The amendment was offered by Senator Allen after he had spoken for more than 30 minutes in op position to the bill reported out by the roads and highways com mlttee. The motion to go into a committee of the whole carried by a vote of If to 14, hut recess was taken before the amendment for mally had been injected into the measure. In addition to the annual $3 flat automobile license the Allen amendment provides for an. ad va lorem tax of two per cent of the value of the motor vehicle. The Allen amendment contain ed several of the outstanding features contained In his measure which was introduced in the bouse early in the session and later laid on the table. The committee bill was explain ed by Senator Dunne, chairman of the senate roads and highways committee. He said the measure had been given careful consider ation and that it was not the idea ef any one man. Dunne said -the bill had been so drafted that it would care for the maintenance of the existing highways, retire outstanding bonds and interest, and defray the administrative costs'.' Further provision waa made whereby the measure would return to the counties approximately $1,800, 000 a year. The measure was opposed by Senator Spavldlng who said the proposed S annual license fee and additional one-cent gasoline tax would increase rather than reduce the cost of operating the smaller machines. "This is not the kind of a license reduction the public has d e m a n d e d", Spaulding said. Spaulding charged extravagan ces to the state highway commis sion and referred particularly to the maintenance of parks, cost of road construction, and the eon duct of its engineering depart ment.
