One of the live issues before the
state legislature this winter will be
the automobile tax to provide main
tenance lor tne state highway sys-;
te:n. At the present time .it is claim- j
ed, the two and a quarter million!
raised by the present weight tax is J
muih more than is needed, and in j
some ot the counties not more than !
half was used. This was to have been !
expected in those counties where the ;
mileage is still small, but it is also ;
said to be true in counties like Sew-j
ard. A fourth of the tax is intended
to be used on county roads generally
and it is the fault of the board if
this is not done.
Governor Bryan made the pledge
during the campaign that he would
cut this tax. and the indications are
he will have plenty of support unless
the present tax can be justified. The
state started out with a tax only
about a fourth as large as that at
present levied. This was not enough
to yield results, and the federal aid
::ien said that unless proper mainte
nance was furnished no more federal
aid would be furnished.
The legislature was m session at
the time, and the matter was submit
ted to the road committee. A bill was
passed increasing the automobile tax
from $3 a car to 50 cents per hun-
ired pounds. This tax makes an av-
rage fee for each car in the state of
about S12. Seventy-five per cent of
this tax was to be sent to the state
treasurer and deposited in a state
highway fund for maintenance of
state highways. This law did not go
into effect until after most of the tax
was paid for 1910 so that the state
maintenance work did not really be
gin until January 1. 1920.
The state legislature in 1921
amended the law so that it is now
necessary for the state highway de
partment to meet with the various
county boards before the first of
March each year and make a budget
of c-xpenditures for the current year.
This budget shall not exceed 75 per
cent of the automobile tax collec
tions in the county. The county
treasurer is to place the amount of
money given in the budget into the
state highway maintenance fund
which is to be retained by the coun
ty instead of sending it in to the
state. Three and one-half per cent of
the total collections are sent to the
state treasurer to maintain the state
motor vehicle department which has
charge of the records of all cars in
the state and to assist in the expense
of superintending the maintenance
work. The maintenance law provides
further that the county board shall
maintain all of the state highway
system lying within each county un
der the direction and supervision of
the state department of public works
using for this work the fund set up
in the budget. At least 25 per cent of
the total motor vehicle collections is,
therefore, left for the maintenance
and construction of county roads.
A representative of the state de
partment travels over the state high
way in each county at least twice
each month and wherever possible
the trip is made with a member of
the county board or with the county
highway commissioner. Suggestions
are given relative to the improve
ments of the maintenance work. The
division engineed also checks up the
work that has been done since his
previous visit and approves the
claims for this work.
