» “AGE EIGHT: ENGINEERS OF CITY IN STAND UPON LICENSES Hold That Auto License Money Should be Used in Meeting Federal Money SOME COUNTIES OPPOSED The subject of motor vehicle license laws was given thorough discussion at the meeting of the state chapter of the American Association of Engineers held here last week. Certain coun- ties, officials and others have and are asking that the total automobile li- ense fees be returned to the counties for expenditure on road building and maintenance under the supervision of the county commissioners, Another element seeks the entire repeal of the motor vehicle license fees requirement. At present the license money is used to operate the state highway depart- ment, to provide state aid for the im- provement of state highways, to fi- nance in pant bridges over navigable rivers, notably the BismarckiMandan bridge, and to provide for the main- tenance of the state highway system and also county highways toa limited extent. To Need Federal Ajid. The plans. of the Good ‘Roads Asso- ciation interested in the enactment of new legislation to fully meet, federal aid call for the increase of motor ve- hicle registration as part of the finan- cia] scheme for operating the state _ highway derartment, providing state funds to meet federal aid, providing funds for the maintenance of the state INDIGESTION, GAS, OR BAD STOMACH TAKE “DIAPEPSIN” “Pape’s Diapepsin” has proven itself the surest relief for Indigestion, Gases. | Flatulence, Heartburn, Sourness, Fer- | mentation or Stomach Distress caused by acidity.

WATER HEARING IS POSTPONED The hearing in the combined Bis- marck Water company case has been postponed by the railroad commission from March 30 to May 1, it was an- nounced today. The case to be heard combines complaint of several citizens of Bismarck against the company and the company’s plea for higher rates. Attorneys for the water company and H. F. (O’Hare, Bismarck city attorney, appeared before the commission. At- ‘torneys for the company asked post- ponement because of other court bus- iness and it was agreed to by all, ac- cording to Caairman Milhollan, of the commission, b eb ae $100,000 MAY BE — CUT OFF TAXES Jamestown, N. D., March 14.—All 1922 Stutsman county taxes may be reduced more tran $100,000 from the 1921 total, as the result of economy meetings held here by county, town- ship and school officers. Resolutions were adopting favoring repeal of the highway system and creating a refund- ing fund to reimburse tie counties for ‘all the expense they will have incur- red on state aid and federal aid pro- jects up to the time of the passage anc approval of the new legislation, The desire of the counties to secure the automobile license fees is not only natural but was explained at the engi-| : neers’ meeting in the following man- ner: The law fer the licensing o1 motor vehicles was enacted in Norti Dakota jn 1911. It provided that tre gross receipts less the cost of collec tion by the secretary of State be re- turned to the counties for maintenance Purposes. No state highway depart- ment ‘being in existence, the counties were selected as the most convenient and at that time the most logical units to whom to entrust the expenditure of the returned balance. This continucd from 1911 to 1917 and in this period the counties nad come to believe that the auto fees were “their” money. Thai feeling still exists today in certain quarters, ‘ In 1917 the state hignway department {was created and only one-third of the Net fees were continued to be return- ed to the counties, the other two-thirds ' being used to operate the state high- way department, provide state aid, etc. In 1919 furtaer changes were made, such as increasing the fees, modifying | | the procedure of reimbursement, etc. The counties have since received 50 ner cent of the net fes which on ac- count of the increase in fees returned about as much as they normally have received under the first law. However, the fees returned were specified to be used for the maintenance of the state nighway system and though the money was to be expended by the county com- missioners, its expenditure was to oc- cur under the supervision and direc- tion of the state highway commission. The present proposal proceeds still further and contemplates returning none of the license fees to the coun- ties except indirectly to reimburs2 them for their share of cost of. state | - highway construction to date. Natur- ally under these circumstances some counties and officials believe that taey ‘have been and are being gradually | . robbed of “their” auto money. The Engineers Attitude. It was pointed out, however, before ‘the engineers not only that the coun- ties in the past had not accomplished anytaing lasting with the money which they received, but also that the license fee was for a state and not a county license and. therefore should be used for |state purposes, rather than for un- co-ordinated use by 50 odd counties. Assuming the automobile owners of the state to: be not opposed to. the pro- posed increase in fees, engineers agree that the+proposed use of the fees with the oil tax, etc, to operate the state highway department, to meet federal aid, to maintain the state highways and t8 reimburse the counties for their share of the cost of state highway pro- jects presents a most logical scheme of highway financing preferable under the circumstances to a bond issue on the increase of taxes, Condgequently the new legislation is much favored among the engineers of the state. eee LIMBERS UP“ YOUR EATHER exposure and hard work bring pains and aches in muscles and joints.
