Shirley predicts larger auto tax cut impact on highway funds
State Highway Commissioner H G Shirley said the Coleman Rhodes proposal to cut auto license tax from 70 to 40 cents per hundred pounds could reduce highway maintenance funds by about two million dollars, more than the 1 793 million some backers forecast. He added the tax cut may not boost car ownership but could discourage sales of existing vehicles. He noted primary highway maintenance costs average 400 per mile and 125 for secondary roads.
