As hot1! tho traffic and "revenues inerease with Mm npmtipr nf pptq IIiptp niPiPtillv eyists a possiliility of so adinst'iig the registration rates ps to keen pace wiih the ever-growing niaintenaiiee ! changes. A number of the States having in (general Init a small mileage of im-nroved im-nroved roads 'have recently adopted the plan of capitalizing the motor-vehicle revenues and devoting these funds to road construction. The States doing this are Illinois. Maine. Minnesota. Missouri. Nevada. ITfah. and Wyoming. Tn them bonds have open voted or i'sued for road ron- IstruPtion, and the princinal. in some iiiptaupps. also the nterest, is to he I "rid entirely from the motor-vehicle revenue. ' At the beginning of If ?1 there p.-ere still seven States in which mo-1 mo-1 1 or trucks were registered at tho 'same rate as passenger cars, but in recent years there has been a very decided tendency in most States to increase the fees required for motor i trucks oi"er and above those required ' for pa'-'seneer cars. This incropso is '.suaily based on the weight of the track and its carrying capacity, its horsepower or a combination of these factors. The most general practice seems to be toward definitely limiting limit-ing the maximum total road weight of the vehicle and-basing the registration regis-tration fee on the capacity of the truck. Soma, few states have adopted adop-ted a scale of fees, which in actual P"' dice serves to make the operation opera-tion of very heavy ' trucks impracticable. impracti-cable. In Colorado. New Mexico', and Oregon, Or-egon, in addition to the registration fees, a state tax on gasoline or other products used for the- propulsion o-f motor vehicles is also levied. In some states motor cars are rVtxed as personal person-al property in addition to the required requir-ed fees. In Alabama. Delaware. Idaho, Ida-ho, Iowa. ?d:chigan. New nair.oshire. Now York- North Dakota. Oklahoma. Oregon. South Caroline. Pennsylvania, Pennsylvan-ia, Tennessee, and Vermont, the registration reg-istration fees are in lieu of all per-onal per-onal property taxes. |
