ROAD
BUILDING
MONEY FOR IMPROVED ROADS
Sixteen Million Dollars In Auto Fees
Spent for Building and Mainte-
nance During 1915.

(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
Ninety per cent Of the registration
and license fees paid in 1915 by auto
mobilists to the states, or $16,2133S7,
was spent for the building and main
tenance Of county and state roads, ac-
cordipg to compilation just published
by the office of public roads, U. s. de-
partment of agriculture. In ALL 2,445,-
664 motor vehicles were registered in
that year and their owners paid to-
tai of $1S,245,713 for registrations and
drivers and dealers licenses. This is
an increase of $5,S63, ,76O over 1914, and
an increase of 734,325 in the number
of vehicles registered. Automobile
fees now defray nearly Z per cent Of
the total amount spent on rural road
and bridge building, whereas in 1906
the income from this source was less
than three-tenths of 1 per cent of the
total expenditure.
The growth of the volume of fees
and registrations is noted by the fact
that in 1901 New York, the first state
to require fees, collected only 1854. In
1906 only $4,000 cars were registered
throughout the entire United States
By 1915, however, the number had
jumped to the figure given, so that
there is slightly more than one motor
car registered for each of the 2.375, 900
miles of road outside of the incorpor-
ated towns and cities.
The relation between cars and road
mileage varies widely in different sec
tions. There is only one motor car for
every six miles of rural road in Ne
vada, but nearly six motor cars for
every mile of such road in New Jersey.
There is an average of one motor car
registration for every 44 persons in
the United States. Iowa apparently
leads, however. with one motor car for
every 16 persons, while only one for
every 200 persons is registered for Ala
bama.
1t must be understood, however, that
the figures of registration do not ne
ceSSarily represent total number Of
cars, as some Of the states do not re-
quire annual registration, others group
pleasure and commercial cars and mo-
torcycles in their accounts, while still
other states do not require reglstra-
ton of motorcycles.
There is great inequality in the reg
istration fees charged by the different
states. The average for the United
States was STAG. The state of Yer
mont, however, secured in 1915 a gross
revenue Of $3.50 for each motor car,
while Minnesota received only about

Splendid Breeding Pair.

profitable results. Pigeons are usual
ly mated at from five to nine months
of age. There are two methods of
mating, natural and forced. Under nat
ural mating the pigeons usually
are allowed to select their own
mates, which is indicated by the
male billing and driving the female.
Experienced breeders, however, are
occasionally deceived by their actions
in selecting sex. In forced mating, as
in natural mating, the breeders should
be selected with a definite object, u.s.
ing males strong in points in which
the females are weak. It is some
times advisable to break up the mat
ing between old pigeons and young
birds, although these pairs often give
good results. Where matings produce
undesirable qualities, it is necessary
to remate or Gull out the flock. Con-
tinued close inbreeding is not desira-
BILE and many try to avoid any in
breeding. Where pigeons are banded,
the female on one foot and the male
on the other, it is fairly easy to reg
ulate inbreeding.

so cents annually for each car. In
Texas and South Carolina no annual
registration fees are collected, the only
requirement being a county fee of SO
cents and 81 respectively for perennial
registration. Most of the states, how
ever, also levy annual taxes on motor
vehicles and this adds Importantly to
the public revenue contributed by the
owners of mOtor-propelled vehicles.
In the use of fees, however, there
seems to be general policy of apply
ing the major part of the money col.
lected from automobilists directly to
road betterment. In AZ of the statel
of the Union all or the major portion
of the motor-vehicle revenue must be
expended for the construction, i'm
provement, or maintenance of the pub.
lie roads, or for the maintenance of the
state highway department. In 20
states, all or the major portion of tho
net motor-vehicle revenues are ex.
pended by or under the supervision or
direction of the state highway depart,
ment. In seven states one-half to one.
fourth of the state motor-vehicle rev.
enues are expended through the state
Neutrality-suspicious., and the remand.
er by the local authorities. Many
states, in addition to applying license
fees to road construction expend for
this purpose large part of the fines
and penalties collected from owners.

York state led in 1915 with 255,242 :;
Illinois was second with 1s0,s32; Cali.
