Of this amount, $6,997,782 was collectes from motor fuel taxes, $2,187,-67- 0 from motor vehicle registrations, from the general property taxes on motor vehicles, $128,682 from fees for transfer of title on automobiles and trucks, and $54,284 for permits to drive motor vehicles in Utah, The report points out that the property tax on motor vehicles goes entirely to the cities, counties, and school districts for their general functions and cannot be considered as special road or highway revenue. In 1949, there were 177,636 passenger cars registered in Utah, and 43,846 trucks and busses, compared with 162,816 cars and 41,201 trucks in 1948. Registration fees collected from trucks in fiscal 1949 totaled $1,311,770 compared with $1,207,633 in 1948. Passenger cars paid in fiscal 1949 $820,631 for registration compared with $753,300 in 1948, according to the Utah Foundation summary. Registration fees now go entirely to cities and counties for local roads. FORS-GREN- 72 dog-lov- dog-own- er The Foundation study indicates that during fiscal 1949, the Utah State Road Commission had $12,177,357 available to meet operating expenses. This included carryover balances of $1,428,537 in the Highway Reserve Fund and the Highway Operating Fund. allocations Utah was granted Federal-ai- d totaling $22,279,929 for the five years 1946, 1947, 1948, 1950 and 1951. As of December had 1, 1949 the State Road Commission spent $10a million of its allocation for construction on Utah's i highways. Of this amount, $4 million is committed for projects now under construction. Utah Foundation analysts note that many states have recently undertaken thorough engineering and fiscal study of their highway problems. Such a study was assigned by the 1949 Legislature to the Utah Legislative Council, but no appropriation was made for a comprehensive suryey. Cooperation of staff members of the University of Utah School of Engineering has been arranged for a study which, is now in progress. Pressure for inclusion of roads essentially local in character have contributed to the expansion of the designated Utah State highof the division way system. of responsibility for roads between the State and local units of government may be advisable, Foundation researchers suggest. The report notes that cities and counties now receive nearly of all highway user revenues in Utah for local roads and streets ($2,272,000 out of $9,947,000 in fiscal 1919). In addition, cities and counties secure $870,000 from property taxes (1919) on motor vehicles. The report states that although a substantial part of the total motor fuel sold, on which the principal motor tax is collected, is used in driving on city streets, much of the city driving, is on u difficu i on er fund. way. erhaps of i de line probably these thers. lain, OYU Brigham ompleted re , ansion activ ne in their "80!C4 - FARMAU- nME-PROV- BRIGHAM TRUCK IMPLEMENT & CO.
