COUNTIES To GET
MORE HIGHWAY AID
STATE BOARD ALLOTS S3,200,000
GAS TAX AND S1,960,000 ONE
MILL FUND.

st Louis county was allotted S58, 300
for its state roads and 500 900 from the
gas tax fund for use on the new county
aid roads, at meeting of the allot-
ment board held in the offices of the
Minnesota Highway department Feb.
IA. The board consists of Ray Chase,
state auditor, Julius Schmahl, state
treasurer, and G. M Babcock, COM
missioner of highways.
The total amount of state aid al
loted to the counties was $5,160,000.
OF this amount S1,960,000 is the reg
ular one mill state aid fund and S.
100000 is the counties one third of
the gas tax receipts. Total income
from the gas tax for 1880 is estimated
at S9,600,000, since the cent tax will
be in force the full year.
The minimum allotment of the gas
tax fund is $4,000, since the law
makes q per cent the minimum. Last
year the minimum was S20,625 The
minimum allotment of state aid is
SIG 900 or one per cent. Last year the
minimum was S19,543 The law pro-
videS that in making the gas tax al
lotmentS, regards shall be had 20 mile
age of county and town roads ana
traffic needs and conditions OF the re-
spective counties.
The three large counties, Hennepin,
Ramsey and st. Louis, are this year
given the 8 per cent maximum alIot-
ment permitted by law, or $500 state
aid and $4,000 from the gas tax fund.
These three counties furnish Al per
cent of the state aid fund and over 40
per cent of the gas tax fund
In addition to the regular ailotmentS,
special allotmentS were made totaling
S129,390 from the gas tax fund and
$79,050 from the state aid fund. The
largest Of the special allotmentS is
S45, 900 from the gas tax fund allowed
to Morrison county to aid in the con-
struction of a road and a bridge over
the Mississippi, to connect the new
Minnesota National guard camp with
trunk highway No. 27 While the road
is in Morrison county, the guard camp
is a state project, and it was felt that
the state should bear the cost of the
road, and this allotment is made in
addition to the regular allotment to
Morrison county.
The second largest special allotment
is S25, 900 to Hubbard county to build
its portion of the cutoff from trunk
highway No. 10 to trunk highway No.4
through LaPorte. While this piece of
road is in Hubbard county, it is OF
special benefit to Beltrami county be-
cause it furnishes a short cut from
Bemidji to Walker and points south.
Althogh the allotment is made to Hub
bard county, which must build the
road, it may in reality be considered
as special allotment to Beltrami
county.
