FOR YEAR JUST CLOSED
.North Carolina collected SI2,MS 1,848.88 and About Half Million
of This Will Go Into Road Building Fund—lncrease Was
More Than Two Million Over Last Year.
The fiscal year closed yester-,
day for the collection of auto
mobile license taxes and gaso
line taxes, and Commissioner
Douchton's report shows that
North Carolina collected for
the year $12,381,848.88, and
which was an increase of nsore
than two million dollars over
Jast year. The collection i last
year amounted to $10,130,486
83.
Mr. Doughton says this
money will be used as follows: |
For linking fund and interest'
on bonds, $4,000,000
For maintenance of
road J 4.000,000
For current expenses, 250,000
This leaves a balance of $4,-
131.000.00, which goes into the
road construction fund, Mr.
Dough ton says. And divided
among the nine districts it will
give each State highway com
missioner about a half million
dollars for roads in his
district. In addition to this
each commissioner gets his
proportional part of the $350,-
000.00 which comes to North
Carolina for roads from the
Federal Government each year
out of the $75,000,000 approp
riated by Congress. And of
