There are 150 miles of unimprov- ed rural roads in the city of New Britain, according to First Select- man George V. Hamlin, who as pres- ident of the New Britain Rural Road Improvement Association, an auxil- lary of the Connecticut Rural Road Improvement Association, spoke to | the Kiwanis club members at their | weekly luncheon at noon today. Mr. Hamlin called attention to the | Fact that this year sees the first or- | ganized effort to create sentiment in Byvor of rural road improvement, tited many reasons why Connecti- rut's rural roads should be improv- 2. At the close of his address Pres-i ldent Hugh McKenna announced that the club agricultural committee | consisting of Charles F. Robertson, David Borthwick, S. F. Avery, A. G Hawker and Harry C. Billings would cooperate in the movement here. Mr. Hamlin’s address in part was as follows: “It was in near that date good road gtarted. At that time, the Connecticut | legislature appointed a three headed highway commission and appro- | priated $75,000 per year. When a road was constructed, one-third came from the state treasury, one- third from the county and one-third | from the town in which the highway was located. “Today.the amount exceeds 000,000 annually, derived almost en- tirely from autois license fees, fines, gasoline tax, etc., tain amount from the ernment “With the 1835 or somewhere | that Connecticut's movement actually 814, e federal gov- demand for roads came special taxation, with the development of the auto- mobile, all automobile owners were taxed alike, regardless of how much they used the high or the con- dition of the h ersed Substitute Bills Unsatisfactory “At the present time, the trunk nnr» highways connect all the large enters of population and lead to Lommm. lines in adjoining states. Nothing has been done in Connecti- cut in reference tosimprovement of rural or third-class roads. “In-1925, a bill for improvement of rural roads was submitted to the general assembly which $vas reject ed. In 1927, a substitute bill which was not at all satisfactory to pro- ponents of rural road improvements was gubmitted in which the legisla- ture appropriated a million dollars perpetually to assist in building slate aid roads. This did not meet the situation. In 1529, a suBstitute bill was passed but this made on eppropriation | ‘The motorists in Connecticut pay the same registration fees and the s gasoline tax per gallon, re- gardless of any other condition What beconies of this money? For a long time here in Connecticut | this vast amount of money has been | spent in building niain trunk lin lighways. Never has there been p forward a”concrete plan or proposed system whereby the rural dweller might have access to these trunk line highways. They have pad a larga proportion of the expense of building them, notwithstanding the fact that at certain periods it is {m- possible for many of these folks to 1each them, and difficult at all times for sor Less Benefit From Taxes “I have said that the rural dwell- ers pay the same f taxes, etc., .as the city dwelle 1l, they do d then some. They pay the same 1ax per gallon on gasoline, but do not get the same mileage per gal- lon. They pay the same registration fee but do not have the bhenefit of improved roads. They get less mile- age on tires and shorter life of their cars; an average of about 50 per cent less than the city owned car end pay about 3 cents per mile Inore to operate on unimproved roads., o “Perhaps it will be argued that the trunk line highway should have becn built first. All right, they now arc well taken care of; can there now be any good reason for refus- | g the dweller on rural roads some benefit from his tax money? We think not. “So for the first time there is an | organized movement having for its the improvement of rural ds and incidentally the granting on tice to the rural dweller payer who, if a farmer, is the highest tayed person in the whole country. The farmer pays out of his income from 19 to 31 taxes. Now shat is the average e DA T T e e earned by the sweat of his brow. “Compare this with the wages of the average city dweller for whom the rural dwellers have been build- ing most of the good roads. “Where the city dweller - owns property, invariably the rent from that property will more than pay| its taxes. The farmer must pay his taxes out of his wages. No one pays | more taxes in proportion to his in- come ihan the farmer. “They are of equal economic ad- vantage to the city dweller and the rural dweller. They provide a speed- ier, more ical method of transporting farm and garden products to the metro- politan markets, and products of the metropolitan to convenient rail and | water shipping points. All with greater saving to the consumer and more satisfactory return to the pro- ducer.
