Highway Costs, $121,000 A Year In Countv (Speeail to The News Journal) NF.W YORK. Sept. I 2 - Car owners in Hoke County have a long way to go before they finisli their share of the 42,500-inile Interstate Highway System. They Itave been contributing to the cost of construction, via taxes on gas, oil and tires, since 1956. when the project began. Currently, their annual payments a 1110 unt to approximately SI2I.000. The matter comes to the fore at this time because Congress is debating a new extension of time for completing the system, which has nearly 14.000 miles to go. The proposal would establish a new deadline - 197N instead of 1972. During that added period, the average Hoke County ear owner would be contributing close to SIXO in highway user taxes. Some Congressmen, however, are strongly opposed to the whole principle of using these taxes, which run well over S5 billion a year, solely for road buildings They contend that there are more important priorities. They would use some of the money for refurbishing our railroad lines, especially with regard to commuter service, for providing aid to bus lines and for other forms of urban mass transit. Meanwhile, the highway system, which was to have next year at a cost of S4I billion, will need upwards of S75 billion before it is finished. The bulk of this money comes from the 4 cents-a-gallon fuel tax and the taxes on auto accessories. This revenue goes into the government's Highway Trust Fund, which pays 90 percent of the construction costs. The rest is paid by the slates out of their own auto-use taxes. For the average Hoke County driver, who does 10,000 miles a year and gets 14 miles to the gallon, the annual cost is about S30, according to the Bureau of Public Roads. Taking into account the 4.020 passenger cars in the local area, the total contribution is SI 21.00 per sear. If Congress extends the completion dale to 1978, as it indicated, local car owners can expect to pay at least S724.000 more into the fund, based upon the number of cars now in use. Writing Class Sam Ragan. editor and publisher of The Pilot, will teach a creative writing course at Sandhills Community College. The class is scheduled to meet Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 beginning Sept. 24. Persons interested in the course should call the department of adult education at Sandhills College. 5 JOITKNXT KXFFOraTNoifti caiToiV THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24,1970 RACE Gas Company Sets Dividend Two 10 cent quarterly dividends were declaied today by the Directors of North Carolina Na t & i a I Gas Corporation.
