Highway Board Faces Funding Shortfall Over Inheritance Taxes
Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliora ruled that inheritance taxes collected by county treasurers but not remitted to the State treasury until after Oct 1 must be credited to the general fund and not to the State highway fund. The interpretation, if upheld, could reduce highway program funding by about 250 000 dollars and mirror prior losses from exhausted Federal aid. John D. Williams, director, declined comment pending further guidance.
