Utah studs, present allocations for interstate construction are not covering the rising costs of completing the system resulting from inflation. Moreover, somepartsof the interstate system constructed during earlier years are beginning to wear out and may soon be in need of extensiv e repairs or the reconstruction. federal Although government now is providing some funds lor repairs and reconstruction, the amount presently allocated is tat shot! ot me aim uni expected to be needed in the years ahead. Of the 938 miles of interstate highways allocated to Utah, 143.6 miles have not been completed and opened to traffic. Utah ranks second among the states in the total miles of interstate highways not yet open to tralfic, but ranks27th in the estimated cost of completing these unopened routes. Foundation analysts explain that this disparity in the rankings is the result ol a policy decision in Utah made a number of years ago toconstruct the more costly urban routes first, leaving the less costly rural sections until the e later stages of the construction plan. It is estimated by the Utah Department of Transportation that the cost of completing the unfinished options of Utah's interstate 84631 or call Stock Show Meeting To Be Held The next Millard County Jr. I ivestock Show Meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 19th at the Millard County offices in Delta.

Congress made several changes designed to reduce the estimated completion cost of the national interstate system by SI 3 8 billion, or 26lro. Fven with these changes, however, the remaining completion cost totals S40 billion and exceeds present revenue sources. According to the Congressional Budget Office, completion ot the present interstate program by the year 1990 would require an increase in the federal gasoline tax of 5.3 cents per gallon.
