How Counties Have Absorbed
Road-User Funds Explained
Just how the 36 counties of the
state have absorbed the $21,245,
389 of road-user funds, termed
State Highway Funds, as direct
ed by the legislature during the
1917-50 calendar years (inclus
ive) for their expenditure on
county roads is one of the $64
questions. The counties are not
required by statute to make any
accounting to the legislature
showing their use.
Since the year 1947 the coun
ties have been getting 19 percent
of the State Highway funds for
their exclusive use in building
and maintaining strictly Coun
ty roads. During that period they
received $21,245,389 of State
Highway funds. The records of
the State Tax Commission show
that, during the same period, the
36 counties levied a total land
tax of $12,288,034 for "general
roads" (including sinking funds)
for "Market Roads"; and for
"Road Districts". For 1947, 29 of
the counties levied for the first
classification, 17 for the second,
and 7 for the third. Clackamas,
Clatsop, Linn and Polk taxed for
all three. Deschutes and Multno
mah made no levies at all. For
1950, 23 counties stayed in the
general roads list; "l4 in the
Market Road; and six levied for
district taxes. Three counties,
Jefferson, Polk, and Linn went
for all three. Coos, Crook, Curry,
Deschutes, Harney, Lake and
Multnomah levied no road taxes
in either of the three classifica-

The available records do not
show how the counties distrib
uted the $8,957,855 balance be
tween the more than $21 million
allocated from the highway
funds and the better than $12
million represented in the tax
levies as shown by the Tax Com
mission records. It is left uncer
tain whether the counties spent
the sum of the two amounts ap
proximately $33,533,423 on the
county roads in the four-year
period, or whether the State mo
ney was used as an offset to the
levies.
