County Road Supervisor, Leon Fillingim said there Just hasnt been enough money in the budget to improve die road before. UDOT continued from page 1 registration fees of the seven western states. Nevada and Wyoming, have flat ratea of $33 and $15 compared to Utahs $11 flat rate. Other atatee have a rate baaed on either assessed value or age and weight of vehicle. Those fees range from $16 to $42. Arizona has an $8 flat rate plus 4 vehicle license tax. Utahs truck rate is also lowest with a $590 flat rate. Color adoa and Wyomings flat rates are over $2,220. Arizona, Idaho and New Mexico charge a flat rate, plus a weight and distance tax. JUDGE RULES continued from page 1 Court because Duchesne County submitted themselves to the court hearing. Despite arguments from both sides, Judge Tahbone stated that ruling in the case was "a matter of jurisdiction," and that arguments existed on both aides regarding whether or not there was originally y a given or maintained. County maintains roads on greatly reduced funds Duchesne County Road Department ia operating on half the fluids of previous years, and $600,000 less than last year, according to Leon Fillingim, Road Supervisor. Still, the ocunty has been able to pave 150 miles of roads in the five years Fillingim has been in office. He said the goal when he began working was to get all residents within 5 miles of pavement Now the goal is to get residents within 1 mile of pavement He hopes to reach that goal, this year. Much of the credit for this increase in pavement must be given to the availability of native asphalt The county entered into an agreement with Johnny Fausett to purchase a quarter interest in his aaphalt pit This has allowed the county to pave a significantly greater area. Fillingim estimated that 130 miles of the new pavement ia native asphalt The county has also given cities native asphalt at an expense of $47,000. The county felt this mightbe the only opportunity the small cities would have to pave some of their streets. However, Fillingim said the overall condition of county roads is deteriorating. The department doesnt have sufficient funds to upgrade older roads. He said the county also has 68 bridges under state and federal regulations. They are not up to federal and state standards, and there is not enough money to upgrade them. The money available in the county budget ia enough to maintain the current roads, but we cant do much more, Fillingim said. We may be gaining on oil, but we're losing other places. Although Duchesne County has 330 miles of paved road, that represents only about 13 of the 1,005 miles in the county road system. We still have a lot of roads that need oil, Fillingim said. owwwTnni rate 7:30 and 9:20 pm 33 STARTS Fri.
