Show . New State Road Funds i Allocated for Area Tho Cities and Counties of Utah are now in business busi-ness in so far as the Collector Col-lector Road Program is concerned. After many years of study and planning plan-ning the first allocation of funds are now available for the use of maintenance mainten-ance and construction of the some 2400 miles of road that is on the system. The formula for distribution distri-bution is based 45 per cent on need, 45 per cent on popullation, and 10 per cent on area. Grand County, with 3G.7 collector road miles and 3,089.40 square miles has been allocated $51,217.39. Moab City with 4.3 collector col-lector road miles, and and 3.78 square miles, has been allocated $14,710.06. Population figures used in the formula were based on the recent census, showing 4,682 for Moab and 1,603 for Grand County Coun-ty outside Moab. |
