pairs.

Of that figure and cut down on the
heavy purchases of road machinery
by each county. Under the code,
all machinery and real estate used
in road work owned by the counties
could be oeeded or transferred to
the state. Murrow said the state
would save money by not having to
buy any new machinery for two
years. He cited the case Of one
thinly- populated northwest county
having five steamShovels.
Under Initiative "a, the 80 coun-
ties combined could not raiss mere
than $1,0OO,0OO for road purposes.
From past years expenditures, Muir
row estimated this amount would
not pay overhead charges of coun-
ty engineers offices.
Murrow submitted the following
figures to the committee as rep
resenting the financial set up under
the new code:
For regular maintenance and en-
ergencies on 3o,10O miles Of high
ways and 1000 miles of city streets,

STATE AUDITOR SHOWS
TOTAL PROPERTY TAX LEVY

OLYMPIA. Feb. 9. - Wash
ir1gton taxpayers will be asked to
contribute $48,442,53 in real and
personal property taxes assessed on
a. valuation of $500, 558, 08O, accord
ing to AN analysis Of the levy by
Cliff Yelle, state auditor.
The levy is for every function OF
government, school and road dis
tricts, towns, cities, counties, high
er education and the state itself
and is a reduction of $32,129, 1878
from the peak property tax load of
$80,571 ,911 levied in 1920. The as
sessed valuation that year was ST.
253, 179,936.
Decrease in the total tax bill of
the state is due to economies on the
part of state, county, city and school
district governmental units in con-
junction with the operations Of the
40-mill tax limit law.
A further sharp decrease in the
tax bill to be presented to the tax
payers of the state for payment in
1885 was forecast by Yelle, who
called attention to the terms of
Initiative No. "a, which becomes eff
fective on the tax levying units on
next years tax bill, eliminating two
mills from the amount which the
state itself can levy. Upon the pre-
sent valuation Of $966,558,98Ot the
initiative would further reduce the
tax bill $1,933,116
Another reduction is forecast
through the operation of initiative
"a in county district levies. A lin
itation of three mills is now made
under initiative "a, while through
out a large portion of the state
many road districts had had the
maximum levy of ten mills.
Total tax levy in former years
was: 1929, $8O,571 ,S11; 1880, $780,
016.471; 1881, $73,356,713 1882, $685.
469 $3.50; 1888, $54,018,642; 1884, $48,-

New Highway Code
Stirs Opposition
County Officials Says Provisions
Of Proposal Would Curtail
Road Work
sTATEHoUsE, olympia, Feb. IA

STATEIIOUSE, Olympia, Feb. Il
One of the thornS in the ne7
state highway code, which count
officials assert is practically a "cac
tus," is the provision requirir
counties to furnish SO per cent o
the cost of new construction on sec
ondary roads.
Under the new code all road con
struction would be under the juris
diction Of the highway department
The section requiring counties t.
match state funds might proven
many counties, hard hit by the 80
mill law, from receiving any second
airy road work, it was felt in some
quarters.
Gives Department Authority
The senate roads and bridges
committee, which is now studying
the code, was informed by Lacey
v. Murrow, highway direcJo-. how
ever, that the bill also provided the
highway department, il it wished
could construct secondary roads
without requiring counties to match
its expenditures
Under Initiative 81, counties can
levy only three mills for roads. In
a number of counties where large
bond issues are outstanding it was
feared little match" money would
be left after bonds were taken care
of. The code also provides counties
can raise match" funds but cam
not require the state to 90 more
than match the amount, since that
might bankrupt the states motor
vehicle fund, Murrow saio:.
Would Eliminate Levy
The aim of the highway depart
ment eventually was to eliminate
entirely the 3 mill property levy,
throwing the burden Of highway
building and maintenance on those
using the roads. Under existing
Laws counties or cities are allowed
to levy outside tine 40-mill limita-
tons for retirement Vi bonded in
debtedness incurred before the 40
mill law became effective.
Another point watched with in
terest is the provision allowing the
state to take over and maintain ar
terial highways and bridges, inside
of cities. Under the new code, the
state could 60 into cities AMI main
tain highways, deductiag the cost
from the $500 a mile allowed cities.
Cities owing Large sums on bridges
would be required to retire the debt
themselves out of their three mill
road levy, but the state could main
tain them. Aurora bridge in Seat
tie would be 'out" as far as the
state paying off the remainder of
the debt, as would four Aberdeen
and Hoquiam bridges, on which
more than 100000 is unpaid, ac-
cording to Pat Winston, legal coun-
sci to the department, who drafted
the code.
