Counties May Melp in
Return for Large Gift
Recipients of Motor Vehicle Tax
Funds for Local Roads Can Assist
State to Get Needed Loan

Will counties receiving $26,000,00O
Of automobile tax money for local roo
use, now help the state in return to
obtain legislative authorization for
$40 100000 of bonds toward replacing
the larger sum and speeding needed
trunk highway work in those and 9TH
er counties
This question appears in the cur
rent highway bulletin.
The $26,000,000 gift from the trunk
highway fund is among the things that
made the Minnesota good roads plan
one to first improve the local roads in
every county and township in the
state, says the bulletin. This trunk
highway money is going for better
ments on local roads and to lower the
local road taxes as shown by the cut
of S1,288,OO0 in such levies the first
year under the Babcock plan. In adj
dition, transfer to the state of the
trunk routes which always had taken
most of the local funds left the coun-
ties with all their road taxes and
state aid-from two to eight times
more than ever before-to use on
their own roads.
After this big draft on the trunk
highway funds, the bulletin explains,
the state is without working capital
which can be used to advantage now
to reduce maintenance OUTLAWS and
speed highway improvements. 1t
needs temporary extension of credit
in order to give the taxpayers good
roads quicker and in bigger measure
for the motor vehicle taxes at the
rate they are now coming in. 1t
wants to use the bonds to pass on to
the automobile owner of the future
some part of the cost of foundation
work which is now taking too much
of the present taxpayers money ac-
cording to the bulletin.
1t is all another angle on the high
way bond proposals urged by highway
officials and friends of good roads
who claim the result will be more
highway values without more high
way dollars.
