State Roads unds
Are Low
Cost OF Maintenance Has
Drained Budget Figures
OF Commission Show

Only S241,4OO94 is available to
finance State road maintenance oper-
ations In the last quarter of the cur
rent fiscal year ending September ~,
it has been revealed.
Slightly more than $4,000 is
available for expenditure in the four
tn quarter of the fiscal year to carry
on maintenance operations on county
roads in 20 of the 23 counties OF the
State.
To the accelerated speed with
which maintenance operations on the
state and county road systems were
carried on during the comparatively
open weather" of last fall and winter
is charged the depletion of funds
allocated for the purpose.
For the maintenance of the state
system of highways during the four
tn quarter of the fiscal year ending
September 80, less money Is avail
able than the average monthly ex-
penditures for maintenance during
the first nine months, figures releas-
ed Thursday by the State Roads
Commission reveal.
The Legislative budget and budget
amendments provided total of 81
4S6,467.43 for maintenance oper-
alton.
Up to June 80, 1937-ending nine
months of the current fiscal year
incurred obligations total $2,245,-
066.29 of this sum.
Thus a balance of $241, 4OO.94
remains to carry on maintenance
operations in the last quarter of the
fiscal period.
Expenditures for maintenance
in the fiscal year to June 80 averaged
S249,45181 per month. The balance
available for maintenance in the I'm
al period of the year limits average
monthly expenditures to $S0,466.9S,
or less than third of the amount
spent monthly in the preceding nine
months.
Funds allocated by the. commission
