Butter Higher Than Same
Week One Year Ago
Heavy Egg Receipts Affect Prices

try Supply

The general situation on butter
is much unsettled. Production of
fresh butter shows slight increase
over last week and the same week
last year. Receipts on the New
York market increased approx
mately per cent over previous
week with slight decrease under
the same week last year. While
there has been q reduction in the
cold storage holdings, there is still
a large surplus compared with a
year ago as is indicated by the
cold storage holdings report quoted
below. The effect of lower selling
markets and unsettled conditions
is being reflected upon paying
prices for butterfat,

The egg market at this time is
directly affected by weather con-
ditions. Movement of eggs in the
heavy producing districts of the
Central West has been increasing,
and because of the heavier supply

Trunk Highway Costs Only
Small Part of Motor Bill
As Paving Is Increased the Car
Operating Cost Per Mile Is
Decreased

A striking analysis of recently
published figures showing the to-
tai motor bill in Minnesota for
1929 is contained in a bulletin just
issued by the Minnesota Good
Roads Association.
In comparing trunk highway
costs with the total bill, it is shown
that they are relatively low when
the tremendous burden of traffic on
the state system is considered.
The total outlay for vehicles, gas,
oil, licenses, accessories and taxes
amounts to 1912, 100000 an average
of $50 per car or $149 per capita.
Receipts from license fees, gas
tax and local road taxes total $685.
100000. Of this s22,15O,0OO is spent
for state aid, county and township
roads and represents $19,5OO,OOO
received from local and the one
mill state tax levy and 81 650,000
from one-third of the gas tax. 3.
The receipts for trunk highways
totaled $16,11O,000 which was made
up of $10,760,00O received from Ii
cense fees and $5,350,OOO represent
ing two-thirds of the gas tax.
Ten per cent of the total motor
bill was used for highways of which
four per cent went toward $685.
miles of trunk highways, which
carry seventy-fve per cent of the
traffic and six per cent for 1903,
313 miles of state aid, county and
township roads, which carry TWEEN
ey-five per cent of the traffic. - .
Despite the constantly increas-
ing motor bill, the cost per vehicle
mile is decreasing due to the grow
ing mileage of hard surfaced high
ways.
The bulletin further states that
an enlarged paving program will
still further reduce the vehicle
mile cost of car operation.
