GRADY WILL GET
$4,000 IN TAX
ON AUTOMOBILES
Announcement by County Clerk
Indicates Huge Sum Be Avail
able for Work on Roads;
Figures Given on State.

Grady county will receive approx
mately $4,000 from the automobile
tax license, II. s. Cox, county clerk
announced today. This does not in
clude money to be allotted to the
incorporated towns OF the county.
Funds from the state automobile
tax license are to be spent In road
work.
The total collections of the state
highway department for the fiscal
year ending June 3O 1920, was ST.
256,333.72, according to the reports
submitted to Governor Robertson by
Henry Wood. state highway com
missioner. The earnings Of the de-
partment, which includes ten per
cent of the collections which are de-
posted In the general revenue fund
of the state. as provided by law,
amounted to $73724. The unidenti.
fled remittances deposited In the
general revenue fund amounted to
$1,56774. making the total earnings
Of the department as stated in the
report $2279SS.35.
The total expense OF the depart
ment, which included the cost of
automobile tags, all expenses Of reg
istration, as we'll as all salaries OF
engineers in the engineers division,
was $171 ,694.22. This left a net earn.
Ing OF $56,2441S.
The total amount of the so per
cent collected on automobile tags
that goes back to the counties from
where collected amounts to $2,030,.
7OO.35. The amount of this sent back
to Oklahoma county was $1GS, S,5S9.53;
Tulsa county, $1S1, ,522.94; Creek
county. $69,7SL32; Kay county, $685.
9O1,15 and to Carter county $47,-
354.02. These are the counties re-.
ceiving the largest returns.
The earnings of the department
minus the expense of operation
shows that 1t Is more than self-sus.
tanning. The money returned to the
counties is clear of all the expenses
borne by the state for the collection
of it. 1t is expected that the receipts
of the 1921 fiscal year will be much
more than those for the year just
closed.
