Construction 32950357 maintenance 12158553 equipment 325 overhead 736268 general disbursements 350471. Federal 6685877 state 16426204 counties 10525575 funded construction. Gas tax income 21180893 motor licenses 4625478 interest 195697 sundries and other revenues. Projections show gas tax rises could fund more construction, with maintenance costs rising slowly and later decreasing as paving expands. County shares and bonds loom large for funding completion beyond 1940, with debates over bond issuance vs pay-as-you-go.
