The committee aa appointed by Governor Meier on March 4. 1933. and haa held a, series of conferences elnce that time. Dr. E. B. McDanlel or Portland la chairman of the committee-Would Total flO.550,000. Figures contained In the commit tee'! report indicated that through the oroDoaed revision of fee and In crease in the gasoline tax the annual revenue would total $10,500,000. while the total aet expense would agreate $8,327,000. Thla would leave $2,123, 000 for refunding, reconstruction and construction. 1 The recommendations of the com mittee were based on certain high way policies, enumerated as follow: No additional highway bonda to be issued except temporary refunding bonds In case of emergency. Seme to be repaid from current refunds. In no case should the refund bonds be Issued for ft period longer than two years. Should Pay Bonds a. Due. I All bond maturities should be paid 1 when due and no bond reissued. Change gaa tax refund law so aa to insure that only legitimate non-highway users will receive refund. As a method of accomplishing this, the committer suggests that gasoline re tailers, on which refund U made, be licensee. In addition, the committee suggests the Incorporation In our law of the protective provisions of the North Carolina gas refund law. Change secondary highway law so as to pla secondary hlghwaya on same designation and construction baala aa primary highways, allowing, however, for the inclusion of certain roads or sections of roads to fill in gaps now existing. That set amount of $1,000,000 be returned to counties In lieu of the one-third license fee which they now receive. This amount la approxi mately the present figure returned to the counties. Public Education Needed. In reaching Its conclusion the com mittee assumed the attitude that the state highway commission would give priority to partially completed high' ways in approving construction proj ects. That some method be provided to make the publio more familiar with highway affairs and obligations, and to acquaint the Oregon motorist with the benefits that accrue from the highway system. The committee found in studying the expense items of the state high way department that If the above recommendations were followed, there would be a aet expense account for bond serving maintenance of pri mary and secondary highways, return to the counties, state poltoe appro priations, collection expense and ad ministration of the state highway department, amounting to $8,337,000. This amount includes $3,000,000 for retiring bonda each year. Budget Exceeded This Year. "Subtracting thla amount from the anticipated revenue of $10,4o0.000, the report continued, "you will note that the recommended amount for im provements, reconstruction and new construction totals $3,123,000. This amount would be available for the above purposes in ordinary years, but the highway department has expend ed for unemployment relief ft pp roil mately $1,500,000 more than was bud geted for the current year. "This unbudgeted item has been expended from cash or hand whleh had been set aside to meet bond In terest and maturities nxt April. As a consequence. $1,500,000 will have to be raised by short term bonds next April. 'It is the recommendation of the committee that this $1,500,000 be taken up as quickly possible, from current revenues available for con struction and reconstruction, and that In no case shall hl short term paper be extended beyond a two-year period.
