MOTOR VEHICLE FEES GO FOR HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS For every dollar paid by motor vehicl owners and operators in registration ‘and fines during the past fiscal year, 48.6 cents was spent by the state highway di partment for mew hard pavements. All but 7.6 cents of the remainder went in- to the upkeep of existing roads, accord- ing to announcement made at the high- way department, The 17.8 cents was held in reserve for emergency repairs, maintenance, snow re- moval and other 'contingencies, 1t was figured that 13.7 -cents was sent for reéplacing the surface of established roads, 14.7 cénts was allotted for furth- er Teplacements of the kind now under construction ‘and 20.2 ‘cents was held for surface replacements planned but not yet under way. This accounted for $1,654,891:17 of an aggregate of - $3,405,054.75 collected by the motor vehicle department during the year and turned over to the highway de- partment for, repairs and replacements, as\required by ‘statute. Of the remain- ing. $1,750,192.58 the expenditurés of the highway department for repairs and maintenance of existing roads, includ- ing dust-laying and oiling,\took 27.3 out ¢ every autoist’s dollar pald in regls- trations and fines. ‘Supervision took 31 cents more, equipment 2.7 cents and snow removal 7 cents. Progress was made foward replacing the surfaces of approximately 50 miles of highways whose condition had be- come such as to make the cost of re- pairing them abnormally high. en it is considered that the building lof the broad, concrete highway between Hart- ford and Berlin was paid for from motor vehicle fees and clasged under “surface replacements,” it may be understood. that such replacements are new- roads built in the place of deterforating and other- wise inadequate existing toads: The only difference between roads in' this classification and “new comstruction” is that the latter are highways opening up entirely new territory. There was an.increase of $1,278,312 over last vear.in the amount of money available for replacements and répairs during the past fiscal year, owing large- Iy to the boost.in the fees for car reg- istrations. However, since. this inerease in fees was mot effective until the middls of the fiscal 'year, It i3 expected that considerable more ‘money will be-at the disposal of the highway.department for this purpose in the new fiscal year. ) ‘The highway de tment has complet- ed a chart showiig the ratlo of each sub- divislon of expenditure to the total out- lay for replacements and repairs. By applying the percentages showed to the total it is shown that more was spent for repairs and maintenance, including ing and oiling than for any oth- le factor of the work, the figure reaching $929,590; $500,547 was allotted for surface replacements in course of construction, \$687,827 was held for sur- face replacements planned but not un- der way, $105577 was spent for super- vision, $91,937 for equipment, and $23.- 5 .

Tierney tripled and Traynor doubled off Brillheart. Yellowhorse was stingy with hits and men on bases. Umpire Rigler was assisted by Fred Clarke, former Pirates manager, who .is here on ‘a vacation.
