What Will It Cost The Road Building Bonds
The state tax on automobile licenses from 1920 to 1922 would fund highway bonds if issued. A 40c per horsepower tax, with 30 HP average, equals about 12 per car, with 25,000 cars totaling roughly 300,000 yearly and 3,000,000 over ten years, enough to cover a 2,800,000 bond issue. The law requires 75% of bond funds be spent in counties, matched dollar for dollar by the federal government, with overhead capped at 15%.
