Opposition to diversion of gasoline tax funds for the purpose of a state advertising program was voiced by the Phoenix chapter, American Association of Engineers, at its luncheon session in the American Kitchen yesterday. The chapter's legislative committee was instructed to exert every effort to kill House Bill 17. now before the state legislature, or at least have it amended so that motor users' funds would not be diverted. Vic H. Housholder, legislative committee chairman, declared, "We are not aeainst a state advertising program, but we are against use of state gas tax funds to finance a state advertising program, when that diversion means we will be penalized up to one third of our federal aid highway money for such the money from the state gas tax fund definitely would jeopardize our Arizona state highway program, on the word of Thomas H.

MacDonald, chief of the United States Bureau of Public Roads, who has ruled 'it is not a proper use of motor users' funds'."

Mr. Beck said. "The 1914 cost for the same amount of power in Globe was $15 and was $5.35 in 1938. Twenty-four years ago, it cost $12 for 100 kilowatt hours in Tucson and in 1938 the figure was "In 1914, the cost of 100 kilowatt hours in Phoenix was $8.50 and in 1938 was $4.60."
