Eight Thousand
For Good Roads
COUNTY GETS NEAT SUM FROM
STATE GASOLINE TAX OF A
CENT A GALLON.

County Treasurer Herrick received
the sum of sT,9S4.79 from the state
treasurer recently, this being the
Gunnison part Of the gasoline tax 1u
1929.
A total of $40, ,SS5. 90 was collected
in Colorado and distributed according
TO mileage of state roads within each
county. Only a few counties have
larger mileage than Gunison, which
has 225 miles of state roads. Among
themare, FL Paso, which gets S9.4S2;
Lincoln, receiving Sl1, $40; Weld about
the same; Montrose, s9,73S. Mesa gets
s7,7l0 and Delta $4,69l.
This county also receives about S1O,-
900 year from its share of the state
automobile license fees, tine other
half now going to the state road fund
thru meeting fifty-fifty the federal
fund of six million dollars.
There are many arguments for
largely increasing the gasoline tax,
making the chief source of revenue
for road building and repairing roads.
FOR instance, suppose we make the
tax ten cents gallon instead of one
cent, as at present. This would
seem high, but it would force every
user Of the road to pay very nearly
in proportion to the use and damage
his car did to the highway. The big
truck, using fifty gallons day would
then pay $500 day for the privilege.
Il you kept your fliver at home in
the garage, it would pay no road tax.
An inequality would develop by reas-
on of the use of gas in stationery en-
gines, cleaning plants, ETC., but this
could be taken care of by some
method.
