HOW GOOD ROADS
BILL MAY AFFECT
GALLATIN COUNTY

Gallatin county has about $500 au-
tomobiles and trucks which, allowing
them an average value of $500 each,
represent an investment of $3,040,-
600. One cent added to the present
gasoline tax under Initiative Bill No.
81 would bring about the construction
by the state within 10 years of "a
miles of uncompleted federal high
way in Gallatin county, This pro-
posed measure would protect the
county's large investment in automO-
tive property against the obstacles
of bad roads, and the additional cost
to the individual motor vehicle own
er would be less than $3.50 a year by
the added gas tax.
These figures are taken from an
estimate by the Montana Automobile
association, which is presenting the
measure to the public in an effort to
have it passed at the November %
election, and give Montana a system
of improved highways.
Motor license fees received in Gal
latin county so far this year total
| $41, 600. The county would still keep
these fees for its own use under Bill
81 as it does now, and this revenue,
! together with its regular road levies,
could be spent by county commits
sioners on farmers lateral and in
termediate roads, whereas, most oI
it is required under the present pro
gram for use on the county's federal
4 highways. Under Initiative Bill No
E31, the county would get more O1
both federal and local highways thar
it can possibly get slder the pres
ent law.
The motor vehicle owners Of tn,
state are more than willing TO as
sumo the small expense Of the adde,
I tax to get improved highways; thi
!, counties viii get more roads withou
/. linterest-bearing bond issues; and th'
] state will get q highway system com
: parable with those Of its neigbbors
: The statement concludes that ther
are no reasonable grounds for oppo
sition to the proposed measure.
