MOTOR VEHICLE FEES GO
 FOR HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT

For every dollar paid by motor vehicle owners and operators in registration and lines during the past fiscal year, 4s.s cents was spent by the state highway de- partment for new hard pavements All but l7.6 cents of the remainder went in to the upkeep of existing roads, accord ing to announcement made at the high way department.
 The 17.6 cents was held in reserve for emergency repairs maintenance. snow re- moval and other contingencies It was figured that 13.7 cents was sent for replacing the surface of established roads. 14.7 cents was allotted for furth- CT replacements of the kind now under construction and POP cents was held for surface replacements planned but not yet under way.
 This accounted for $1,s54,se1.17 of an. aggregate of s3,405,054.75 collected by the motor vehicle department during the year and turned over to the highway de- partment for repairs and ,replacements, as>required by statute. Of the remain ing. $1750.1S2.5S the expenditures of the highway department for repairs and maintenance of existing roads, includ- ing dust-laying and oiling,N Nook 27.3 out of every autoist's dollar paid In regis trations and fines. Supervision took 3,1 6st snow removal cents
 Progress was made toward replacing the surfaces of approximately 50 miles of highways whose condition had be- come such as to make the cost of re- pairing them abnormally high. When 1t is considered that the building lof the broad, concrete highway between Hart ford and Berlin was paid for from motor vehicle fees and classed under '.surface replacements,' 1t may be understood that such replacements are new roads built in the place of deteriorating and other wise inadequate existing roads The only difference between roads in this classification and thew construction" is that the latter are highways opening up entirely new territory
 There was an increase of $1.27s312 over last year~in the amount of money available for replacements and repairs during the past fiscal year, owing large Iy to the boost In the fees for car reg istrations. However, since. this increase in fees was not effective until the middle i of, the fiscal year, 1t is expected that considerable more money. will be at the 1 disposal of the highway department for i this purpose in the-n fiscal year. I l. The highway department has complet- ] ed a chart showing the ratio of each sub l division of expenditure to the total out 1 lay for replacements and repairs. By applying the percentages showed to the total it is shown that more was spent l for repairs and maintenance, including dust-laying and oiling than for any oth. | CT single factor, of the work, the figure reaching $s29,5s0; S5oO.547 was allotted | for surface replacements in course o
 construction, Ns6S7,s27 was held for sur i face replacements planned but not un 1 der way, $1o5,577 was spent for super vision. $91,9S7 for equipment. and s23.
