Car owners in Cheyenne County fund the interstate program through gas and tire taxes since 1956, now paying about 197000 annually. By 1973 they face an average 240 per car rise, while Congress weighs a 1.6 billion tax increase for trucks and buses. The Highway Trust Fund covers 90 percent of costs, with local areas contributing the rest, as completion nears.
