Concerning Gasoline Tax Funds

IL
We have been endeavoring to pub.
lish data concerning the operation
of the gasoline tax measure, passed
by the last legislature, as it affects
Morgan county. Facts as we under
stand them follow OF the total
amount collected in the state, $50
is equally divided among the 88
counties-size of county makes no
difference, all share alike. The
state keeps 45%o of the amount col
lected for maintenance and repair of
roads built by state. The remainder
300, is divided among the vii
lagos and cities of the state, ac-
cording to the number of autos
registered. 1t is estimated that Nor
gan county will receive close to $40,-
600, which goes into the same fund
as does the auto tag money, which
is the road repair fund. This mon
ey is under the control of the coun-
ty commissioners, to be used for
the maintenance of roads built
Jointly by state and county, except
hard surfaced roads, and it can also
be used for repair of roads built by
county alone.
