The possibility of an increase license fees for trucks operating in the Province, was forecast by Hon. George S. Henry, Minister of Public Works and Highways, speaking to the Motor Track Owners' Associa- tion at its dinner in the King Ed- ward Hotel, Toronto, on Monday - night. Quoting sta.stics to show that highways were being built to with- stand the traffic of heavy trucks, which, alaogether, paid but 2 per centof the motor vehicles revenue, he stated that it might be Just if more of the cost of these higbways were met by those who benefited. front them. "It has been apparent to you," he! said, "that we have been spending a lot oF money to provide highways that will carry these heavy trucks and that they have been contribute ing less than, 2 per cent, of our reve- nue. 'There' is a fairly clear case i1 iwe decide to increase the fees. It is lO fair question whether you ought not to pay a greater percentage of I the cost of highway construction. ;You have the capacity to pass the I extra cost to the man who engages I your truck hut al(' matt who thrives a. thotor car for pleasure has no 1 power to pass an increased cost on . fn .nliminni, '.'_ The 'relation motor truck, shoald bear toward the cost of coOstruction and maintenance of highways, he said, was becoming- a big problem. In Canada the highest type of road yet developed, the Toronto -Hamilton high -way, required a heavy anneal expenditure to keep in condition, though it was very generally refer- red to as a "permanent, road." If loads of unquestioned .weight wer to be permitted, these highways, ev en of the best type, would be rapid- ly broken down, and it was neces- sary therefore that reStructive meas - n1 -es be enforced. "'With the development of these: lines of transportation we have a pro- blem which Conies very closely \elate& to the people, in two ways—in the cost of construction and in the effect it has on the railevey system in which we are partners," he said. "It is a very big question how far the Pro- vince should encourage the camped- , ton of the truck against tbe railroad which, at the present time, is earn- ing only deficits for us." He pointed out that the railways maintained their own tracks out of their toils; the mo- tor truck operator was not called up- on to meet this expense. "How far should the public, through its High- ways Department, encourage motor truek traffm ori public highways by 'privately owned rolling stock when those highways are maintained and financed through the public fends?" he asked. He admitted that the truck was an economic factor in re- ducing the cost of the short haul and as such very greatly- beaefited the consumer; lent there was a limit to the extent to which the Department of Highways should go in providing free a solid type of eight of way, He urged upon the members a thorough endeavor to see that the, laws respecting loading and speed; of trucks be rigidly observed, point ine out that the only reason for such re- strictive legislatiou as weatld be cam tained in tile new Ad; WaS the fttet that so many truck operators disr(- garded loading and speed limits.
