Frankfort, KY, April I0.-(Special.)
Thirteen counties will draw the full
amount allowed by law out of the
State road fund this year, s13, l64, &C
cording to estimate just completed by
Commissioner OF Roads r, c. Terrell.
1t is based upon the 1914 assessments
and levy, excepting in few instances
where failure Of the counties to re-
port made it necessary to use the 1912
returns.
The counties which will draw the
full 2 per cent? are: Bourbon, Camp
hell, Christian, Clark, Daviess, Fay
cite, Graves, Jefferson, Kenton, Mason
McCracken, Nelson and Shelby.
The amount it is estimated each
county will receive from the State
Road fund is based on the ratio the
road levy of that particular county
bears to the total levy for road pur-
poses of all the counties, s2,07l, ST..
TIE estimated road fund is 65S,220.
After apportioning the money on this
basis, a balance of over 100000 was
redistributed within the limits OF the
2 per cent, which In the maximum
any county is allowed to draw, and al
so not exceeding the total amount ap-
propriated for State aid work, includ-
ing private subscriptions. In no case
was q county allotted more than it
asked for State aid, as some portions
of the county levies naturally will be
used for other work than that Under
taken accosding to the Law governing
State aid projects.
q, The distribution to counties issuing
bonds will be based upon their road
ievies and SPECIAL tax for sinking fund
purposes; but the latter does not fg-
ure in this estimate, as the commits
sioner had before him only the 1914
levies to guide him.
