Gasoline Money and Road Repair Debate in County Funds
Attorney General Ogden's opinion misread by papers claims county gasoline funds must be budgeted in the gravel road repair fund. The opinion notes gasoline funds may be used for construction as well as repair, unlike the tax funded road repair fund which is limited to repair. Carroll county boards have budgeted gasoline funds as a separate gasoline fund, enabling construction use and district political advantages. bids for construction are required. The 1929 gasoline tax totaled 36063.06 with 1930 expected near 41000 plus 53000 council appropriation, bringing local highway funding to about 94000. Law allows commissioners to allocate up to one cent per hundred dollars for ten miles, potentially raising 217000 annually in Carroll county. A second AG opinion concerns cemetery roads, stating they are part of county unit highways under the superintendent of highways, not a separate taxing unit.
