Show Utah Foundation notes that luud needs for construction alone (r'-- 2, are planned at $216,665,000. -- he Foundation also cites a Legislative Council study released in Novem ber, 1950, which shows in addition to the construction needs estimat ed by the Division of Highway Planning, estimated maintenance and departmental operating ex penses, for a total program of $298,266,000, or nearly '$19.9 mil lion per year for 15 years. The construction program alone would require about 13.8 million per year for 15 years. Utah Foundation points out that any future construction program above $7.5 or $8 million per year will likely have to be financed entirely from state funds, noting that Utah has in the past taken full advantage of Federal-aid funds, and that increases in Federal-aiare apparently not in prospect. An important factor to be considered in a present highway development program for Utah is the availability or lack of steel for highway purposes. According to the Utah Foundation report, highway officials indicate that at the present time a shortage of steel is seriously curtailing the Utah highway program. Although all available funds can be spent on needed highway improvements, some high priority projects are having to be deferred for lack of steel. Break Records During Fiscal Year by the Highway expenditures Utah State Road Commission for fiscal 1951 amounted to almost $1.8 million, which was more than for any previous year in Utah's aistory. The 1951 outlay was $2.4 million higher than that for 1950, and $2.5 million over that for 1949. These facts are pointed cut in a research report on Utah's highway programs released today by Utah tax re Foundation, the search agency. The report notes that increased construction expend itures which totaled $9.5 million for fiscal 1951, accounted for nearly all of the increase over each of the previous two years, while outlay for repairing and maintaining present roads declined to $2.6 milnon-prof- for fiscal 1951 $700,000 lower than in 1950, and almost $1.1 million under fiscal 1949. While highway construction outlay has increased considerably lion about 4 times since 1940 and 2'i times since 1947, part of this increase has been offset by the rapid increase in construction costs. The Bureau of Public Roads composite mile cost index, based on 1925-2s 100, has increased from 71.6 in 1940, to 145.7 in 1950, and 161.8 for the second quarter of 1951. This means that if a highway construction project cost $716,000 in 1940, the same project would cost about $1,457,000 in 1950, and in the middle of 1951. Present Utah highway construction programs, according to the Utah Foundation report, include 13,388,000 for 89.7 miles of projects under construction, $3,198,-50for 50.2 miles of projects advertised for bids as of Dec. 1, 9 State highway revenues, derived from Motor and Special Fuel Tax , and, since es, Federal July 1, 1951, a portion of Motor Grants-in-aid- Vehicle Registration Fees, are reported by Utah Foundation to be $13 6 million in fiscal 1951, compared with $11.6 million in 1950, and $10.9 million in fiscal 1949. It is estimated by Utah Foundation that net highway revenues for fis cal 1952 will amount to about $16,- 012,000.

In a letter accompanying the dividends to individuals, O A Mick-elsethe manager, explained check represented payment of slightly more than 25c per case for all eggs marketed during 1946. Last year's dividend on 1945 marketing was somewhat higher, due to a more firm egg price last year. The new payment, totaling total of makes a grand $103,905.20 in savings for 1946, or better than 50c per case of eggs marketed through the association. Members were informed the balance of savings for 1946 would be paid at a future date, upon authorization of the board of directors. Mr Mickelsen went on to point out that the entire amount of savings was accumulated on mar gins received over and above the market price at the time members delivered their eggs.
