AUTO TAX DISTRIBUTED.
Treasurer of State Determines the
Amount Each County Receives
From New Tax. Winnie
shiek Gets 81 ,151.4O.

Treasurer of State w. w. Morrow
has determined how much money
each county in the state shall receive
as its share of the good roads fund
created by the new motor car tax
law.
The total fund created by the law
amounts TO $111,292.65. Fifteen
per cent of this amount, or $685.
SO, is retained by the state to de-
fray expenses incident to the issu-
ance of motor car licenses This
leaves total of $94,59S.76 to be
divided among the several counties
Of the state to use for good roads
purposes.
The figures of the treasurer show
that each township in the state re-
ceiyes $57.57 as its share Of the
fund. The total for each county
differs, this being determined accord
ing to the number Of townships each
county has in proportion to the
whole number of townships in the
state.
The superintendent shows the
great inequalities exist by reason Of
the provisions of the law. Many of
the largest counties in the state
secure less money than some of the
smaller less populated counties.
This is the first apportionment to
be made under the new law. mas
much as the fees collected under the
law were for but six months per-
led, the amount 10 be distributed
among the counties is about one-half
M
when the state treasurer will make
the second apportionment. The fees
to be collected by the secretary of
state beginning January /, 1912,
viii be for the entire year, are dou-
bic what he has been collecting this
year.
