The mayor and members of the city council of the city of Wilkes-Barre have invited 13 other 3rd clasa cities to join in support of House Bill 418, call-ing for the return of 25 of the unappropriated portion of the motor license fund to cities, bor oughs and township for their local road purposes.

A meeting of the mayors, director! of streets and city solicitors of the cities, all in the north-east section of the state, will be held at the Hotel Red-dington. Wilkes-Barre, the morning of June 22. The invitation went to city officials of Allen-town, Bethlehem, Carbondale, Easton. Hazleton, Lock Haven, Nanticoke, Pittston, Pottsville, Reading, Shamokin, Sunbury and Willi amsport. The letter signed by Lucius K.

Eldridge, city clerk of Wilkes-Barre, was outspoKen in support of H. R. 418 which "benefits local municipalities in a fairer and more realistic manner" than other measures currently under consideration by the Senate and House highways committee. The purpose of the meeting is "that the members of the League of Third Class Cities could receive full and accurate information concerning the various bills." While representatives of the Pennsylvania Home Rule Association, original backers of H. R.

418, will be on hand to explain and uphold the merits of their bill, it was reliably stated that proponents, of other bills will also be invited to speak. Recently, Howard E. Kennedy, city solicitor of Wilkes-Barre, appeared before a joint meeting of the Senate and House highway! committees on behalf of H. R. 418.

He told the legislators that action was needed to prevent local governments from bankrupting themselves in their efforts to maintain adequate local road systems. Motorists pay about 37.6 of the motor license fund by using local roads, yet previously the state has returned only 7 or 8 of the fund to local governments. Kennedy estimated that there was at least a $40,000,000. an-nual difference between the amount spent by local governments to maintain their roads and the amount presently being returned to them from the motor license fund. House Bill 418, he said, would reduce that gap to only about $15,000,000, relieving local taxpayers throughout the state of a $25 million tax burden without requiring the increase of any current taxes or the addition of any new ones.
