Local road FUNDS this year-thoSe
handled by county, township and city
village road officials the larg-
est of record, and five times those of
ten years ago, it is noted. For every
dollar spent on main roads ten years
ago there was $3.50 for local roads,
while now there is So. The detailed
figures afford many other compari-
sons.
Steady and rapid increase in the
use of motor vehicles as factor in
highway improvement in Minnesota is
apparent on the annual figures.
Although the increase in funds for
road purposes has not kept up with
that in the number of automobiles
and other vehicles using the roads, it
has continued every year and has
been most marked in the last five
years.
The big jump in funds was in 1919
and the high mark was reached in
1921, the bulletin points out. Charles
M. Babcock, state highway commits
sioner, in 1919 offered the good
roads plan proposing that motor We
hicles pay more toward highway i'm
provement and the legislature auth
orized counties to issue large amounts
of road bonds. Many counties
and many continued the regular road
and bridge tax levies without allow
ing for decreased demands on local
funds following the transfer to the
state of the more expensive main
highways. The result was the general
increase in funds.
Automobile owners readily fore
saw that better roads would mean
less expense for repairs, pull-outs and
other items, besides more comfort
and greater convenience for all high
way users, the bulletin continues.
Then followed the growing demand
for more adequate roads. Progressive
farmers, realizing how they would
benefit most by the improvement of
the roads and how the financing of
main highways with motor vehicle
tax revenue would release general
tax funds for local roads, supported
the movement.
That farmers favor and are willing
to pay for road improvements is held
evidenced by their votes increasing
township road funds this year, while
county and city-village levies are re-
duced. Farmers have closer control
Of township road tax levies than any
others.
Confined to a statement of facts
and figures, the bulletin makes no
comment on the big reduction this
year in funds available for use on the
big 1000 system of main or trunk
highways.
1t does state that this year there
is 81 for trunks against So for local
roads and that the trunks are used by
four out of five vehicles on the high
ways. This echoes the reason why
the state can make no improvements
on the trunk routes this year and is
obliged to expend remaining funds
for the maintenance of the inadequa-
tely improved routes under the grind
of heavier traffic.
State highway officials have re-
peated, however, that the program
can be financed entirely with motor
vehicle tax revenue at the agreed $18
average and reasonable federal aid
appointments. And, they assert
that the method Of using the trunk
highway income will largely govern
the progress of Improvement of the
big system especially during the next
ten years.
