Ohio faces funding strain from highway maintenance
Ohio officials report 1921 highway funding largely goes to maintenance rather than new construction. From 6.83 million in motor vehicle fees eleven months, 3.415 million returned to counties and the rest to state maintenance, plus 1.515 million from the construction fund, totaling 4.23 million for maintenance. Overall yearly receipts around 12 million, 8.345 million spent on maintenance with only about a third of the system completed. Director Herrick warns against weak roads and urges sound construction to curb rising costs and liabilities for counties as traffic remains heavy.
