Carl- strom bhas filed suit in the Supreme court against the ]Deep Rock, Qil corporation by which lie seeks to col- lect. $69,872.75 as gasoline tax' on fuel used in city-owned vehicles in Chicago. The suit will test the ques- tion whether machines -owned by cities are subject.to the gasoline tax. The dlaim is made that the act is unconstitutional and the opinion of the supreme court is asked to settle the question. At ieast 50,000 men, in addition to the regular working forces, have been employed on skate systems alone. Thus road work, is playing- an important part in mitigating the ef- fecs of the unemployment situation. The states, this year, bave speat about $800,000,000 for roads, in addi- tion to more than $100,000,000 for payment on bond principal. 0f the, former sumn, 67.7 per cent was used for 'construction, 21.6 Per cent_ for. maintenance, and the remainder for interst. on bonds, purchase of equip-' ment, etc. States are turning their attention to the farm-market highway. prob- lem,. recognizing, that its speedy solu- tion is essential to the organizing of agriculture on a sound and prosper- ous, basis. Nineteen-thirty, in. the matter. of ppads, is sbo'wing great progress over 1929. During 1931 we should.take a itill longer step for- ward in providing rural areas withi weatherproof, year-around, surf aced arteries of transportation.
