Highway plan explained by Montana proponent
M Johnston of Billings outlines federal aid highway matching scheme adopted in Helena on Dec. 12. Plan fixes gasoline tax at 6.5 cents and directs one half of license-fee funds to state roads, with federal aid covering 64 percent and state 44 percent, aiming to hard-surface 7 percent of state roads in ten years. Montana could lose hundreds of thousands in matching funds if taxes aren’t redirected, while counties would gain motor license money for road work under the county plan.
