RICHARDS, Statistical Engineer (Continued from Toe road commission's biennial report for 1921-22, while reciting the aotabla beneflas accruing from tha lev Federal law was especially especial-ly concerned with the Inadequacies ot Slate financing ia that the bond issue was entirely absorbed In liquidating the indebtedness which tha new commission bad inherited, there were no other State funds available for highway purposes from legislative appropriations, and the system of financing construction construc-tion and maintenance through county appropriations for State road purposes rendered the prosecution pro-secution of a balanced and comprehensive com-prehensive program Impossible. Nevertheless, credit is due the counties for their generous response re-sponse to the pleas of the State In a time of emergency. During the blennlum of 1921-21 the counties contributed through taxation and bond issues the sum ot $2,567,694, by far the largest appropriation from this source in the State's his tory. As a means of relieving the counties, In part, from a burden unduly heavy and ot furnishing the commission with funds for State wide nse, the legislature of 1923 enacted a gasoline tax law, marking mark-ing what Is undoubtedly the most Important mllestons ia the history of State laws relating to the financing financ-ing of the State highways. Less priority tor costs ot administration cf tha act by the secretary of state, and the nse, with, other available funds, for paying the fixed charges oa tha State road bond issues, the proceeds were paid into the State highway fund for unrestricted nse by the commission, except as to limiting appropriations therefrom for the road commission's general effloe administration. The tax rate per gallon, originally two and one-half one-half cents, was increased to three and one-half cents In 1925 and four cants ia 1931. Ia 1923 the rates for motor vehicle registration fees ware eut approximately la half, and receipts therefrom and from the gasoline (motor fuel) tax were used Jointly in paying fixed ohargea upon State road bonds until 1930, when due to increase In number of motor vehicles rather than In rates the receipts ia tha motor vehicle registration fund became sufficient for the purpose. In 1923 a biennial bien-nial appropriation from the motor vehicle registration fund in the amount of 350,000 was made for the administration expenses ot the road commission and in the amount ot tlSl.OOt for a revolving fund in financing Fedaral-ald projects, which is still in use. In 1925 a mileage tax was levied upon use of the roads by common and contract carriers, the net proceeds pro-ceeds whereof were payable te the State road fund. The revenue therefrom there-from was small, the cost ot administration ad-ministration excessively high and after some amendments which materially ma-terially reduced the tax base the law was finally repealed in 1937. Release of Counties from Cooperation Beginning In 1914 the receipts from the gasoline tax;hava gradually gradual-ly relieved the counties from their financial responsibility and rather as a result of administrative procedure pro-cedure oa the part of the road commission than in consequence ol legislative enactment In 1924 the commission assumed fifty percent ot the maintenance costs of State roads and in 1928 took over the entire responsibility for maintenance. mainten-ance. In 1927 the commission began to assist the counties of low assessed as-sessed valuation la the local ahare ot construction costs oa Federal-aid Federal-aid projects to cooperate in the cost of betterments throughout the State road system, and finally in January, 1933, assumed all financial finan-cial responsibility other than the legal requirement that the counties f rnlsh rights ot way, which requirement re-quirement was removed by the legislature during the same year. Financial responsibility (cooperation) (coopera-tion) oa the part ot the counties is now limited to paylag their obligations ob-ligations contracted prior to 1933, However, county cooperation In State road work continue to be permissive, (Chapter 103, Laws of 1937). Beginning in 193S the status of State-county financial cooperation was reversed and a definite program pro-gram ot State-aid inaugurated through an annual appropriation of 3300,000 from the ntotor vehicle registration fund (Chapter 162, Laws of 1937) to counties and cities for highway purposes. This distinctly dis-tinctly new development waa made possible through the retirement ef State road bond issues on schedule and the consequent release of revenues rev-enues In the motor vehicle registration registra-tion fund heretofore eommitted, since 1917, to debt service. Under the acts providing tor the administration of this appropriation appropria-tion (Charter 40. Laws of 1937) as amended by Chapter 43. Laws of 1939, the road commission makes the distribution provided by law to counties and cities for expenditure expendi-ture directly by them. State highways high-ways are designated as Class "A" roads and excluded from any allocation al-location of funds and from the formula of distribution to county roads, designated as Class B" roads and city streets, designated as Class "C roads. Cities of the third class, and towns, may expend their share ot funds directly or may arrange to have the expenditure made either by the county or the road commission. Chapter 48. Laws of 1939. above cited, relative to administration ot the appropriation to countlea and eitles amends Chapter 40, Laws of 1937. wltn respect to basis of apportionment ap-portionment The earlier law made, Last Week) first, an arbitrary division of the appropriation, allotlng 70 percent te Class "B" roads and 30 percent to Class "C roads. The 3560.000 thus allocated to the counties was then to be apportioned by tbe State road commission one third on the ! basis of population within unin-I unin-I corporated areas, one-third on the : basis of county road mileage, and 1 one-third on the basts ot losses sus tained by homestead and personal property tax exemptions, each county to share pro rata in the proportion that its part of the three factors bore to the totals for all tbe counties. Apportionment to the Class "C" roads ot cities was made ; on the basis of population as deter-j deter-j mined by tbe latest Federal census. In making the first apportionment apportion-ment effective March 1, 1938, two Interpretations of the law were mads, as follows: (1) No homestead or personal property tax exemption law baring been adopted the allotment to counties was apportioned 50-50 on the basis of the two remaining factors, fac-tors, road mileage and population. (2) In the matter of apportionment apportion-ment to municipalities, consideration considera-tion was given to the potential claims ot some forty places incorporated incor-porated since 1930, the date of the latest Federal census, and it was decided to include all such incorporations incor-porations under the Class "B" subdivision sub-division to receive benefits thereunder there-under as county roads. Under the 1939 amendment the apportionment to both Class "B" and Class "C" roada is made forty-fire forty-fire percent on basis ot road mileage, mile-age, forty-five percent on basis of population, and ten percent on basis of area, the unincorporated area ot each county and each Incorporated In-corporated place receiving Its pro rata share on this distribution, the population per the latest Federal census continuing to be a governing govern-ing factor. Tbe amendment is effective ef-fective for annual distributions beginning March I, 1940. Ia accordance ac-cordance with the terms ot the original act the road commission promulgates rules and regulations providing for uniform accounting ot funds and enters into a cooperative coopera-tive agreement with each local authority au-thority restricting the nse of funds to highway purposes and citing the particular purpose and location of expenditure. No funds are released until the cooperative agreement has been signed and returned by the local authority. The commission commis-sion tarnishes standard plans and specifications and other engineering engineer-ing assistance where desired. An accounting system baa been provided pro-vided for the use of the local units la making return on expenditures for Class "B" and "CT roads. Payments Pay-ments for work performed or materials ma-terials purchased are Identified by warrant number and date, classified classi-fied nnder engineering, construction, construc-tion, maintenance and major equipment equip-ment Description and name of road Is required and a description ot the particular activity or purpose pur-pose for which the expenditure is made. Where roads are constructed-by the commission off the State road system, with nse ot Federal funds a cooperative agreement is likewise like-wise entered Into with the local authority, setting forth tbe amount, it any, contributed by the local authority; au-thority; that all rights ot way required will be paid tor by the local authority and that it will maintain the project satisfactorily after its completion. Federal Participation The Federal assistance which Utah enjoys, in Improving the con dltlon ot its highways and in build ing new motorways for the purpose ot developing the State'a scenic resources, may be divided Into two principal classifications. Under the first are Included funds expended directly by various agencies ot tha Federal government with or without with-out award of contract and often without State or local cooperation. Such agencies are the Forest Servica, Serv-ica, the National Parks Service, the W. P. A the O.CC, and perhaps per-haps some others. The U. S. Burean ot Public Roads, now named tha Piblle Roads Administration, administers ad-ministers construction contracts for the Forest Service particularly on a class ot roads sailed Forest Highways which form an intargal part ot the State road system, and also for the National Parka Service.
