This order. a< cording to Mr. Kelly, did not lift all restrictions on the use of gas for space heating purposes. Il merely allows the use of gas for space heating during periods of the heating season when low temperatures do not exist. During other periods it would be necessary for the customer to use a substitute fuel. Such an arrangement would require that the customer install special burner equip ment. including storage tanks to store substitute fuel, for use during low temperature periods when the gas demands are greatest. This plan, according to Mr. Kelly, would not prove practical to customers of the company at this time because supplies of pipeline I gas are still not adequate to meet addition heating demand* Every possible effort Is being made to improve the supply of pipeline gas: and as soon as this can be accomplished, through the con-

July 26 (VP)— chairman Samuil C Hadden of the Indiana highway commission told the midwestern regional conference of state government today : that truck-i and trailers were destroying roads faster than they : could be replaced. "Highway abuses, unless check- j cd. may lead to results we would all reject forthwith If they were offered to us n<>w. such for ex- ’ ample, as the government ownership of our splendid railroad systems,” Hadden said ■'The judicious trucker may well give some thought to this possibility.” he said, "for once the government seizes the rails he will soon be told just how far lie can I run his truck on the |>ubli<- road ' This has already happ< ned In Eng land and other countries; let us, not naively assume that it could nut happen here." Hadden said suggestions had been made that it might make "fairer competition between the rails and the roads If an interstate hauler was required to buy a license for his truck ... in every state in which he operates. Instead of buying his plate* in the state that charges the lowest fees. “Since a railroad pays taxes in every state ... in which it ope I rates, is it altogether fair to cun i tinue the present preferential mat-1 ment accorded the interstate haul er?" Hadden asked. "Many an interstate highway, ■rossing your state or mine, has been hammered to pieces by for I > ign trucks that contribute noth Ing to us for its construction or maintenance." he said "If we are to save our once I magnificent highways from utter, destruction," Hadden said, "we mu«t take the profit out of over loads. "To prevent this evil, checking for overloads must be canted on continually on a state-wide basis on j every truck route and on all alter-j nate routes used by fugitive truck er* when warned that weighing is in progress," he said. "Some truck ers have confederates who tip them off when and where trucks are being weigh* d . . . "The use of portable scales is a , great deterrent to this pernicious practice. Moreover, these con f* derates who think it is all a game . . . may have to learn the hard way that in many stales it i< a crime to conspire to violate the law The grand jury may become , Interested," said Hadden •— - Ph.
