Show Page Eight THE Board Urges Legal Load Violator Law Noting that approximately one every three heavy trucks checked on Utahs highways this year was overloaded, the state road commission has recommended that the next legislature enact a substantial minimum fine, graduated steeply upwards for repeated load violations. - The commission also recommended that funds be provided to install 10 permanent checking stations during the next biennium. The recommendations were contained in the biennial report of the commission to Governor J. Bracken Lee. According to a survey by the commission 49.1 of all two-ax- le tracior trucks with two-ax- le semi-traile- rs weighed in 1950 ex ceeded Utahs legal loads. Fo of WHERE year for another $80,000. It is estimated that the enforcement due to these checking stations should increase revenues from improper licensing and motor fuel violations by $250,000 per year, the commission said. The commission also asked that secondary roads purely local in nature be taken off the state highway system and placed under control of local subdivisions. A reduction such as this in state road mileage, the commission said, would provide more funds and better service for construction and maintenance of interstate and inter-counroads. The commission conspiciously refrained from making any recommendations to increase highway taxes. However, it pointed out that highway construction revenue falls far below the need for new highways in Utah. However, the rate at which these highways are to be improved is up to the people of the state because the legislature must decide how much funds they feel the highway user can afford to pay, the report observes.
