Jacobspn. * y i \ > s Mr. Jacobsoh said the bill cos^ tains nine points that would have widespread effect throughout the nation, not only In areas now under control 1but in cities where rents have been decontrolled. These points are: • 1. Authority to put rent ceilings on all housing when a,nd where' needed. This could affect rental housing here, along with hotels, rooms in private homes, tourist rooms and trailers. Considered "new housing" is construction completed since Feb. 1, 194?. Thi? has been exempt from rertt con* trol . 2. To continue control on housing that is now controlled. To permit rent adjustments --both up and down:--for inequities and hardships. 4. To permit decontrol only where and when the demand for rental housing has been met. 5. To continue the authority of local Fent advisory boards. 6. To continue strong eviction" control. 7. "To permit tenants to recover money damages if they are illegally evicted. 8. To subject deliberate violators to criminal penalties. 9. To permit--for the first time --rent control- on business space. Hearing^ before the Senate and House banking committees and action by both houses will determine the fate of these nine points, which are expected to be made part of an overall price-wage rent authority. The rent control act expires June 30, 1951. , tracted periods during the past year, and unable to carry heavy farmers' trucks and the school busses i^which have become so numerous under the recently developed consolidated school systems. • ' • The,, sentiment In the General Assembly in favor of increased license fees for trucks is overwhelming. A great majorityaof the members also " favor increasing penalties for loading beyond the present maximum limit of 18,000 pounds per axle. The state Senate has already passed Senate ^Blll 96 which would raise the annual license fee 6f the heaviest trucks-from $420 to $1588. <©ut there are many objections to this increase of over 300 percent and other similar high rates of increase for heavy trucks. It is argued that while the high fees could be quickly absorbed by the large transport companies. the hea,vy burdens imposed upon the small independent operators would be unbearable. Some farmers who operate large trucks during a period of only a few weeks of the year point out that they also would be inequitably penalized. City bus operators assert that they do not use the state highway system and that the increased AST Constant Advertising is %<mr Assurance of Best Results. /Use the Want Ads! • license feeii would cause them to Bhare ai| extr«mely large tfhare of the expense of improving that system. The truckers deny that they have caused the serious damage to our highways. They^Jilame the damage on the weather, and present photographic proof. But there are also photographs which show that heavy . trucks dd seriously damage our highways. Although there has been some discussion of a ton-mile tax, no concrete proposal of this type has yet been placed iM the legislative hopper. < It is the writer's prediction that no increase in the gas tax will be considered until final passage of a bill increasing truck license fees. After the truck license fees are finally settled, the proposed gas tax increase will move along rapidly. ». It is the writer's prediction that the gas tax increase will be from the present 3 cents to 5 cents per gallon. A similar proposal was defeated at ^the last session of the legislature because no agreement could be , reached as to a proper split-up of the funds among the various &>yerhmehtal units.. But there is little danger of such an increase at this session. At a recent meeting with the governor, leaders of city township, county and state interests agreed upon a division of the gas tax funds. Whereas the city, .county and state each receive 1 cent of the present 3 cent tax, the proposed 5 cent tax would be divided up as follows: The State, 36 percent; Downstate* counties, 12 percent; (To be divided among the counties according to total auto registrations), Cook county, 11 percent; Townships, (To be divided on the basis of miles, of township roads), $ percent; Cities, (To be divided among the Cities according to auto registrations) 32 percent. This is a ° compromise of the demands which each of the governmental units had made. If such an agreed bill is passed, it will be the first time that townships have been accorded a share of gas tax funds. With only six weeks remaining in the legislative session, truck license legislation and the gas tax bill may not be finally acted upon until the last days. It is the writer's prediction that truck license fees will be eased somewhat from the present proposed increases. But the 5 cent gas tax will be enacted as set forth above. - FOR - Roofing -- Tile -- Gaiter and All Building Materials -- - - o ! - - u Sears Roebuck and See Representative FRANK GANS Call 767-W or writ# 800 RIVERSIDE DRIVE McHENRY, ILL.
