Plan Talks On Truck Fee Hikes

Action To Make Truckers Pay For Road Damage Undergoes Postponement House action on a bill to make operators of heavy trucks pay for the damage they do to Hoosier roads was postponed until today after the measure touched off heated debate yesterday. It would set up a new schedule of registration fees to charge fees corresponding to the weight the trucks bear over Indiana’s battered roads. Representative James F. Griggs, Franklin Democrat, told the House “We have absolute proof that use by heavy vehicles is cracking down our roads.” He said passage of the bill would enable the highway system to be kept up to the needs of Hoosier motorists. The bill was attacked by Representative Patrick Brennan, S. Bend Democrat, its co-author, and Representative Herbert M. Copeland, Madison Republican. Brennan contended his bill was so drasticaly amended by the House Ways and Means “A” committee that it is no longer the same bill.” Copeland termed the bill “unjust” and said the schedule of fees was not set up right. Representative Donald A. Rogers, Bloomington Democrat, defended the bill and said the roads are bearing a heavy burden because of truck traffic and it would be only just for the heavy trucks to pay for their repair. By a 51 to 40 vote, it was made a special order of business foro 11 o’clock this morning.
