Kay, has Utahs urged congressional delegation to maintain federal highway aid at the highest level current taxes will permit and to retain the Highway Trust Fund. In a letter sent to Senator Frank E. Moss, Senator E. Utah J. Garn, Representative and Gunn McKay Representative Allan T. Howe, Mr. Kay expressed concern over the Ford Administrations proposals being considered for the Federal-aiHighway Act of 1975, which he said will determine to a large now d extent the nature of Utah's future highway program Mr. Kay said the bill proposed by the Administration would cause a significant reduction of highway funds for Utah because it would reduce funding for highway programs. The reduction of 1977 over 1976 would be $113 million, and this figure does not include losses which would result through the abolition of the Federal Lands Highway Fund." he said. Mr. Kay estimated that, based on a cost of $300,000 oer mile for primary high- - ways and $200,000 per mile for secondary roads, it would take over 110 years to reconstruct the states rural Federal-ai- System Highway using the $10.2 d million per year in rural funds provided under the Administrations proposed Federal-ai- d 1975 Highway Act Had this situation prevailed over the last century, we would only now be reconstructing the roads built by the pioneers in the first few' decades after their arrival in 1847, he said. Mr. Kay added that the Administrations proposed funding level of $4.4 million per year for all urbanized areas of the state would limit construction to not more than two or three projects a year, equivalent to about two or three miles of construction. In urging that the Highway Trust Fund be maintained, Mr. Kay pointed out that if some highway user revenue is deposited in the To all growers General Fund, and appropriations are made from that fund, as proposed by the Administration, there is a possibility that funds would be made available to states on a project-by-proje- discretionary basis, rather than the current formula basis. "Highway projects in Utah would likely have a hard time competing with in heavily projects populated states, and Utahs relative share of the total funds could be decreased even further, he said. Because of the increased cost of highway materials, a slackening in the growth rate of highway revenue, and increased lane miles added by the construction of the Interstate System, Mr. Kay said many states have found that all of their fiscal resources will be exhausted and avoid next years high costs, shortages and bad weather Mineral Fertilizer Company offers you FALL DISCOUNTS and 28 years of fertilizer experience. in and Winter Plow Down Nitrogen Superphosphate $83 per ton f.o.b. plant. plus Sulfur) 2.
