ioe gt , eas CRE tg SAYS NORTH DAKOTA PAYING $1,000,000 YEARLY ‘DUST TAY’ é. N. Roherty of State Highway Department Says More Revenue Is Needed North Dakota is paying a “dust tax” of approximately $1,000,000 per year, J. N. Roherty, research engi- neer of the state highway depart- ment, told members of the Bismarck Kiwanis club at the organization's Juncheon meeting Tuesday noon. * The “dust tax” to which Roherty referred is the great loss in gravel ‘material, which Roherty estimated in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 yards costing “at least $1 per cubic yard.” Present income of the state high- ‘way department is just about enough ‘to take care of the “dust tax,” leaving nothing for maintenance, snow re- moval, weed cutting or new construc- tion, Roherty said. said he did not know how North Dakota will be able to take advantage of federal’ aid funds to be appropriated next July. since every dollar must be matched by state funds, and the state has little pros- bard of increased income for the state ighway department. Oil Mix Economical The state highway department feels that oll mix construction is just about the most economical for conditions in North Dakota, Roherty said. He estimated the cost of oil mix sur- facing at between $4,500 and $5,000 ee Use only one level teaspoontul ___THE BISMARCK TRIBUN 4-H Clubs Assemble for 25th Annual Institute per mile, without taking into ac- Count construction of the original grade but including a four-inch gravel base (to meet federal govern- ment specifications). Concrete pav- ing, 20 feet wide, would cost about $30,000 per mile, he said. Interest on & $30,000 investment would proviae for construction and maintenance of an oil mix road in North Dakota in- definitely, the engineer said. Declaring that the state highway system rapidly -is North Dakota’s largest investment, Roherty Said $90,000,000 for revenue for roads was raised in North Dakota between 1917 and 1932. Of this amount, he said, only about $20,000,000 went into “state” roads, The remainder was expended for county and township Toads, he said. ¢ Frahm Program Chairman H. C.
