GASOLINE TAX CUT URGED BY TRUCK OWNERS Reduction of State Levy to 3 Cents Sought by Group. Committee reports are to be presented and six directors elected nt the Motor Truck Association of Indiana convention today in the Lincoln. Reduction of the gasoline tax rate from 4 to 3 cents a gallon was recommended yesterday by the private owners’ division of the convention. The rate slash was proposed by C. E Foreman, group chairman. Mr. Foreman charged that diversion of gas tax funds from highway uses accounts for th n present rates. The group also favored elimination of the 1 cent Federal gasoline tax, end opposed efforts to include private truck owners under Public Service Commission regulations. John V. Lawrence, Washington, American Trucking Association s general manager, said that truckers of all types must organize if the industry is to protect its interests. W. Y. Blanning, assistant director, Interstate Commerce Commission motor carrier bureau, explained provisions of the Federal motor carrier act. and Pete H. Dawson, motor vehicles director, Public Service Commission, discussed the state act. Officers elected by the Indiana Furniture Warehousemen’s Association, which held its meeting in conjunction with the convention, are J. P. Woodworth, South Bend, president; Forest Monger. Richmond, vice president, and Irwin Walker, Indianapolis, secretarytreasurer. WPA SAFETY OFFICERS TO USE WHITE FLAGS Men Already Have Bells, Shoulder Straps for Work.

STREETS DARK IN HUNTINGTON; FUND DEPLETED Mayor Bangs Faces New Crisis in His Battie Against Utility. By r nilrrl Pr. ss HUNTINGTON. Ind., Dec. 12. Streets were dark in this city of 14.000 last night with only the glow of Chirstmas lights showing in the business district. All street lights, supplied by a tiny municipal electric plant, were turned off when Mayor C. W. H. ianti-utility) Bangs was informed there was only 45 cents in city funds for light plant operation. The situation was another crisis in Bangs’ long fight against the Northern Indiana Power Cos. respite court injunctions and imprisonment he has built up the m'i* nicipal plant in competition with the power company. The Chamber of Commerce late yesterday rushed installation of the Christmas decorations. A few white bulbs were interspersed in the rows of green and white lamps stretched ] across the downtown streets. Downtowm merchants, many of; whom supported Bangs in his cam- j paign for cheaper electricity, were wavering in their support. Support Wavering Many citizens believed the mayor's long court fight with the utility wasted money which should have been used to keep the street lights burning. “I was for Bangs in his fight for a municipal utility,” Dr. W. H. Spencer said, “but this sort of thing is going to cause him to lose a lot of j friends.’’ Banks, lawyer and publisher of a ! Huntington newspaper, was sure he | would find a solution, although there > will be no money in the city treas- I

ury for street lights until Jan. 1. Two years ago wnen the power ! company cut off current to his newspaper for alleged non-payment of a bill, he jacked up the rear wheels of an old truck to obtain power to run his press. The 650 stores and residences supplied by the municipal plant were not affected by the shutdown since they gra cash customers. The shortage of city funds also halted collection of garbage, another condition which apparently can not be remedied until the 1936 budget becomes effective.
