Total Spant on Roads in State $237,150,743 Railroads Show That This Amount Spent by State, Counties and Townships. STRUCK BY XJGHTNING, LIVES Falls City, Neb. Allen Summer- yille, twelve, narrowly escaped death here Wednesday afternoon when he was hit by lightning. The bolt hit a boxelder tree and Jumped to the left side of the boy, burning him from head to foot on the left side. The nerves were tem porarily paralyzed. He regained con sciousness after an hour of resusci tation work. The bark was stripped from two trees near which the boy was stand ing. One tree caught Are, necessitat ing a call to the Are department. Al len is the son of Mary Sommerville. The enormous sum of $237,150,- 743.41 has been spent by the state counties and townships for highways and maintenance in Nebraska since 1915, according to a study made by the railroads operating in the state, the a.i.ount expended being practi cally the came as the assessed valu ation of all railroad property in the state. It amounts to $180 for every man. woman and child in the state and S900 for every family of five, according to George K. Leonard, for mer assistant state engineer, who was employed by the railroads to rr.aV-e the study. The railroads, said Mr. Leonard, are interested in this study only from the point of view of taxpayers of which they are the largest. The sys tm of highways has been built up and Is leing used, it is alleged, by trucks and buses competing with railroads. The data secured in making this study and the worksheets of the ac countants have been filed in the of fice of State Auditor Gorge W. Marsh, from whose records most of the in formation was obtained, so that it may be available for the use of the public who may care to examine it. The sources from which the funds were derived making up the grand total of 1237,150.743.41, are set forth in the compilation and disclose thaT the general impression that roads are now paid for out of the state gas oline tax first imposed in 1925 and that no property taxes are levied for roads and bridges, is erroneous. The property tax for the biennium of 1932 spent on roads totals $13,880, 129, while the gasoline tax for the same biennium totaled 119.186,397. The property tax used in the 1930 biennium exceeded the gasoline tax by 11,741.100. Source of Funds. The source from whence the fund for roads, bridges and maintenance were derived, since 1916, are set forth in the ocmpilatlon as follows from general taxes levied on all state property, poll taxes and bond Issues, 1121,297,459.76. From federal ald 124,883,815.60 From motor , vehicle registration and drivers license fees, 140,081,- 426.19. Cash donations by railroads, par ticipation in grade separations 1144.084.24. From gasoline taxes 140,690,899. 98. From county Inheritance taxes, 81,783.057.64. The railroads will show, in an other compilation soon to be filed. how the $237,000,000 was expend ed. Another compilation will deal with the registration of trucks, dl vlding them into classes as to weight and carrying capacity. Describing how the compilations were made. Mr. Leonard said the railroads engaged accountants to check the records back to 1915 show ing expenditures on the books of the state auditor. In this office the ex penditures of the state and federal funds were secured as well as the expend iutres made by the counties, The latter were taken from the audits made by the state examiners of coun ty treasurers, supplemented with copies of county treasurers' semi-annual statements. The study of town ship expenditures, in counties under township organization, was based on reports of the state tax commission er. This is believed to be the first com plete statement of highway costs from the period starting Just before the inauguration of federal aid for highways. "Upon completion of the invest! gatlon and after the stupendous to tal had been ascertained," said Mr, Leonard, "It was decided that the information, would be of considerable interest to farmers who are likewise large taxpayers and to taxpayers or ganizations who are continually seeking Information along these lines. "It was found that the total cost of state, county and township roads and bridges from 1915 to June 30, 1932, amounted to $237,150,743.41. "In order for one to comprehend what a sum like that means in a state the size of Nebraska, some compara tive calculations have been made. "For instance, it figures approx imately $180 for every man, woman and child, and every Inmate of a Jail or state Institution, or about $900 for every family of five In the state.
