nal draft of the highway bill has Deeu
made and will be submitted at a meet
ing Of the committee on July Io'"'
Little opposition is now apparent 10
the bill. While the county judges sur
render all the gasoline, oil ana au'O.
mobile tax and license to the stare
they gain materially through the ne"
Arrangement. The state Highway
Department will maintain not only
the roads in the primary and se'ohu.
airy system. which are the highways
connecting county seats, but all county
roads which are designated as STATE
highways. as well This will leave
only the neighborhood roads TO be
maintained from the three mill road
tax. In addition to this the county
court may fix a tax on wagons and
other vehicles to augment the lhree
mill road tax. The increase in auto
mobile license is G6 2-3 per cent ana
will permit refund of 30 per cent to
all road districts ana in the future
districts will be required to pay only
fifty per cent of the cost Of construc-
ti0n, the balance to be paid from the
state and federal funds. In order to
meet constitutional requirements, and
to make the gasoline tax strictly
privilege tax. refund will be made
by the state on the tax collected on
gasoline collected for other purposes
than in motor driven vehicles. This
will require the dealers to collect the
tax on all sales and stop a leak in the
collection that became apparent as
soon as the present law went into et-
feet. The trainers of the bill readi-
ly admit that the new bill is not per
feet asserting that what mistakes are
found can be corrected at the next
regular session of the General Assem-
bly,. If this bill passes it means a re-
vival of road building all over the
state as sufficient revenue will be pro-
duced to complete projects which We're
abandoned some time ago. 1t will take
about sixteen years at $2,5OOO,0OO per
annum from the automobile license to
repay to the districts 30 per cent Of
the amount expended by them. It is
planned to divert this amount annu-
ally at that time into the building
fund and matched by a property tax
and by federal funds there will be
sufficient revenue to permanently i'm
prove every highway in the state with
in few years.
