4 Neil Petree, president of the Cali fornia State Chamber of Commerce, tonight described the State highway situation as the most vital issue confronting California today. -Speaking at the annual meet ing of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, Petree termed the present program, highly in adequate and urged the Chambers of Commerce work to bring the "militant and articulate force of public opinion" to bear on its solution. Petree challenged the claims of those who insist new sources of revenue are necessary to balance the State budget. He Insisted there was no need for new and increased State taxes. No New Taxes "The State general fund can be balanced by keeping expen ditures at a minimum and by using unobligated surplus," he declared.

"There is no need to operate on a deficit basis while adequate free surplus is available. "California's tax structure yields revenues in excess of expenditures. There is no rea son to add additional State tax burdens on the people at this time of high Federal taxes." In outlining other State-wide problems, Petree said that Cali fornia current rate of population growth is 340,000 per year. He pointed out that this requires public school facili- trm ft frt -l 1 a ues lor ioo cniiaren ana colleges and universities for another 4216 annually. More Cars "It means there will be 460 added automobiles on our highways," he said.
