"a DAD construction in Montana
K for the coming two years has
n been definitely outlined by the
state highway commission which has
followed initiative law No. 81, pass
ed by the people at the last election,
and divided the state into twelve
zones and assigned the percentage of
money ODE spent in each zone for
1927.
The state was divided into zones in
accordance with the most economical and
practical way of constructing the nigh
ways and in accordance with the amount of
uncompleted federal aid highway. The per-
centage of money to be spent in each zone
conforms exactly to the percentage of un-
completed highways in said each zone so
that each county is assured of having it's
share of approximately $3,000,000 spent
within its boundaries each year It is es-
timated that the three-cent gasoline tax
will return about $1500000 and the govern
ment will match all of the money supplied
by the state for road construction.
The next task of the highway commits
sion is to make the preliminary plans for
the beginning of work on the actual pro-
jects.
AS time goes on it will be necessary to
take into account the comparative cost
of construction per mile in mountainous
and open country to insure equitable dis
tribution Perhaps a new map will be re-
Quired each year to keep the percentage of
money distribution in accord with the
unconstructed mileage
Reference to the map will reveal the
proposed plan in detail The districts are
designated by the numbers in the circles.
The available funds for the whole state
are reckoned at 100 per cent Then the
amount to be expended in each district Will
be that percentage of the whole amount of
funds available that the unconstructed
mileage in the district bears to the whole
unconstructed mileage in the state. On
the map the double lines represent the
whole federal Or
of highways. Where cross lines appear
within the double lines the mileage has |
been completed
Under this plan the counties in each dis |
trict and the percentage of expenditure
for that district proposed for 1927, are
as follows:
District No. 1--Lincoln, Flathead and
Lake; percentage, S.07.
Hill and Blaine; percentage 5.65.
District No. 3-Phillips, Valley, Daniels,
