ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG..ORECON. MONDAY, MAY 6, 1929. FIVE paid in m in BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES By Martin I Entire Net Revenue Spent on Roads in 35 States; Rates Per Gallon Not Uniform. Gasoline taxes ; amounting to $305,233, S42 were collected on the sale of 10,178,314,771 gallons of mo tor fuel in 1928 in the District of Columbia and the 4t states in which the tax was effective during the whole or a part, of the year, ac cording to figures compiled by the bureau of public roads. United States department of agriculture. The figures include the lax col lected and the gasoline consumed in Illinois during the mouth of January only, owing to the fact that the law providing tor the states 2-cent tax was held invalid . on February 24, 1928. Massachusetts and New York we're the only states without a gas oline tax in 1JKIS. These two have since passed laws providing, in Massachusetts for a 2-cent tax ef fective January 1, 1929, and in New York for a 2 cent tax elfecttve May 1. As the Illinois legislature ' has passed a new law which pro vides for the collection of a 3 cent tax effective August 1, that date will mark the final adoption of the tax by all states, ten years after Us adoption by Oregon and Colo rado, the pioneer states. Changes in the rate of taxation were effected in four states during the year. The New Hampshire tax was increased from 3 cents to 4 cents a khIIoii on the first day of the year. Virginia added a half cent on March-19, 1928, making the new rate 5 cents a gallon. The Texas rate was reduced on Sep tember 1 from 3 to 2 cents a gal lon; and Mississippi raised Its rate from 4 to 5 cents a gallon on December 1 last. How Money Was Used After deduction of the costs of collection the entire net revenue was used for rural road purposes in 35 states. In the remaining 13 states and the District of Colum bia a total of $18,491,754 was de voted to other purposes. In three slates a portion of the collections was used for public school pur poses. The January collections in Illinois were held at the disposal of the court. In five states a por tion of the revenue went to cities for the construction and repair of streets, as did the entire collection in the District of Columbia. In two states small sums were deposited in the general funds of the state; In Mississippi special taxes in addi tion 10 those .collected at the regu lar rule" were used for the construc tion of a road-protecting sea wall; in New Hampshire a fourth of the net collection was used for the re pair of flood damage; and In one state New Jersey a small portion of the receipts was turned over to the state department of commerce and navigation. Of the portion of the total reve nue devoted to rural road purposes, the amount used for construction and maintenance of state highways was 8211,04(1.591; for construction and maintenance of local roads the amount, was $57,3S0,901 ; and the balance of $17,619,995 was used for payments on state and county road bonds.
