"other purposes" to which highway
funds were diverted last year and the
year before are not worthy, Johnson
agrees, but maintains that the spend
ing of motor tax revenue for highway
is so generally beneficial that there
can be no argument either as to the
advisability, the common sense or
honesty of doing just that, especially
since these taxes were levied with the
understanding they would be used for
road purposes only and nothing else.
Another argument against any di-
version of road funds whatever, is
that dollars spent in road construc-
ton go farther than in almost any
other type of work, Johnson said.
Every dollar spent on road work gen.
crates $3.15 worth of trade and wages
in "a different industries and every
100000 spent on roads provides full
time employment for 1O3 workers for
one year, he pointed out.
