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

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. "1
