More Road Aid Assured for Texas
Texas will have nearly 15 million dollars to spend on the seven per cent designated highway system in the coming year. Federal aid already appropriated stands at 4,410,169 dollars and will be available despite possible shifts in federal funding policy. State revenues from automobile license fees in December are projected at about 7,700,000 dollars, with counties to receive roughly 3,000,000 dollars for other roads. An estimated 2,870,000 dollars will come from the state share of the one cent per gallon gasoline tax, and legislative changes to license fees or gasoline tax would not cut these funds immediately.
