Bill Would Send Five Dollars From Car Fees To Cities
A Montana House bill by Donald G. Lucas would divert five dollars from the ten dollar automobile license plate fee paid by cars registered in city limits to repair and maintain urban streets. The Montana Municipal League has long pressed for city shares of motor vehicle fees or gasoline tax, while the Montana Automobile Association opposes diverting highway funds noting 1959 gasoline tax collections and highway needs. The Highway Department cites a 1959 total of about 2.14 million dollars in 15 percent gasoline tax receipts, plus federal aid, as the base for highway construction funding.
