"A more clear appreciation of the purpose and fairness of gasoline taxes as a means of modernizing and extending America's highway system. Is needed by every motorist," says W. H. Klein, vice-president of the Pennsylvania-Dixie Cement Corp.. who lias just returned from the annual meeting of the Portland Cement  Association  in  Chicago
'There was much discussion of ga.-ollne taxes and other pha.ses of road economics." Klein .-aid, 'and out of It I gathered some ideas which I feel sliould b-^ impr. ised on every¬ one who drives a car.
"The automobile costs money; so dies the track on which to drive It.
I 0:ie without the other is quite usc- 1'-.i.  Fortunately, the road .so taken
j fnr grant'^d and lar!:i:i? the glitter of  a   new  car,  costs   very  little  as
I compared to the total cost of driv¬ ing the vehicle.
I    "A survey of the middlewest  has
j shown that to operate the average
' Imht car. .some 92 or more cents of the dollar are spent for routine costs, depreciation, fuel and oil. tire, in¬ surance, and parage. Only eight or le.is cents of the dollar are spent in state ga^ taxes and license fees— the money that builds good roads. "Spread over the 8.000 miles yearly traveled   by   the   average   motorist.
' the cost of the license fee and the
' gas tax amounts to less than one- half cent ivr mile of travel That is a small price to pay to give use and
' \ .line to the car
j ¦Some not fully realizing the Im¬ portance of the  road,  refer to the
I gas tax a- a sales tax It i.s not that in any sense of the word   TUe gas
I tax is actually a .service charge for
' the repair and improvement of hlgh-
] ways. Drivers pay it as they go. Conver.sply. It is a charge that can be dodaed by n-Jt going. But when pad. it is a ju^t contribution to the cause of better, safer travel. It is just l)ecau.se each individual's pay¬ ment Is gauged by the miles he tr.ivels.
I    "The gas tax is neither a soak-the-
^ rich nor a soak-the-poor tax It is a  use  tax  that  places  all citizens
I on  an  equal,  yet  not  burdensome, basis of highway support. •Without  a  gas tax there would
, be few good roads. Uttle traveling would be done, and the car would bo
[of meager utility.
j "The gas tax is a road building tool used by every state. It expands high¬ way Osage.   It extends the benefits
, of travel to all. It gives Jabs. It is a big factor in providing work for
I .six million men and women in the automotive Industrv—work for about one-sixth of all the gainfully em¬ ployed.
I "The gas tax whlcl» does all these Jobs, at rates generally within rea-
' sonable limits. Is neither unfair nor
I burdensome."

One of tiie greatest achievements la nis career as Secretary of this Bor¬ ough was the securing of signaiur«g )t residents and corporations during 1927. after several unsuccessful at¬ tempts at annexation had beea made, when the cement plants and o'her properties were annexed ani the assessed valuation of the toWB increased   by   $1,087.665 00
When autaentic information rt« g.irding Borough affair, was sought it was at no time too much troublg for him to collect and tabulate sucb information for years back for utt by the Chamber of Commerce, civlg bodies.

For man>- vears the drafting of ordinance, for former solicitors to approve were constructed by him and he and the Borough Engineer drafted the Borough Code of 1934. «t which tim" mx .-nonth-s of time were required to acMmphsh tlie neces¬ sary detail.
