SEPT. VOL. 7. U SB PASSED if LIT MEETING With the state on a cash value basis, state bonds may be issued to a maximum of $7,980,992.02 under the 1916 valuation, and the maximum indebtedness which may be incurred by the various counties reaches in the aggregate. The total bonded indebtedness of the state is $2,860,000 Bonded indebtedness of the counties, so far as could be learned from reports received at Mr. Matt son's office, totals $742,500. Thus the counties may issut almosi bonds aggregating can state and th $10,000,000 for still bond itself approximately 5.000.000. making a total which may be raised througl bond issues of approximate! $15,000,000. "If the state and the various counties, working together on a plan of highwa the bonds issue construction, thev are now empowered to authorize, hundreds of miles o hard surface roads could be built." said Mr. Mattson. "The subjeet is one that merits the closest consideration. Ii is now within our power to oper up the vast undeveloped area of the state with adequate transportation facilities. "Take the Uintah basin for instance. With the bonded indebtedness the state and the various counties together may now incur, a hard surface road ' could be built into that part of the state and the transportation problem for that section would be solved. There would te no need then for the construc tion of a railroad. With a per manent hard surface road to travel on. automobile" and motortrucks earning paaseng ers and freight could make th trip tc the basin on regular Millions of acres schedule. land that now lie idle in thatpart of the state would immediate!) bebroughf under cultivation and the increased valuation of pro petty which would result would soon repay the state and count ies interested for their bond?. "Another advantage is that the transportation companies would be farmed with Utah The to them money paid capital. would stay in the state. 'Gasoline transportation is here and it has come to stay. Io some parts of this state gasoline vehiclescarry ing fre ight and passengers are in regular service and earning a profit for their owners even in competition with railway lines. The state of Utah has today the finest kind of an opportunity to take advantage of this new means of transportation to open up its isolated valleys. "With the state and counties working together we could now issue about $15,000,000 worth of bonds. Figuring the cost at $10,000 a mile, that sum would build 1500 miles of hard surface road, which would open to motor traffic every isolated section of the state. The resulting increase in assessed valuations would immediately increase our assessed valuations on property benefited by those roads to such an extent that our bonding copacity would be more than doubled and Bavin? the nterest on the bonds would not even be a burden." Mr. Mattson'a table, showing the bonding capacity of the state and the various counties today, was compiled after he had carried out the changes in county valuations ordered by the state board of equalization. The clerk of each county was asked to report the amount of bonded indebtedness of his county and nearly all responded Where no response was received the report of that county made two years ago was used. Dif ference between the outstand ing bonded indebtedness and the maximum of authorized bonded in debtedness represents the amount of bonds each county may yet issue. The table, showing the bond ed limit and setting forth for the first time the changes made in county valuations by. the state board of equalizition, ir as follows: Juab Counties.
