vehicle usajj. in 1 39 in-
creased by KIM) ,000,000 vehicle mib -
in Texas over usage in 11K1K," Mr.
Burton said. "It would appear from
advance reports that Texas will \
perience another heavy increase •
highway u.-.igi during I'.MO due t<
more wide-spread us ■ <*f motor \ .
hides as a medium of t asportation.
"Most of oui citizens have ju-t
paid th«ii motoi vehicle registration
fees for th> H'40 registration .war.
The aveiage registration fet> is ap
proximately $11. The payment of thi-
fee should inak • highway users con
sciou* of thi heavy taxe- they are
paying foi r<*u«i construction an 1
maintenance, li should give V' em
pause and «*t least cause them to
mak.' inquiri. s a< to the manner In
which fuiui- derived fiom motor ve-
hicle registration fees and other aut-
omobile -ale- and excise taxes are
biing us•<! Motor vehicle taxpayers
should tie interested in seeing that
they obtain the maximum in - *rvice
' fa. i 1 it i ■ s f o meach dollar of tax .«
paid.
"Last yeai in Texas the motorists
1 paid a net of $Hi.S10,'.il8 in motor ve-
hicle registration fees. Of this
mount, $11,SMH,JM4, or tin per cent
was retained by the various counties
tui loviil road eonstiuction and main-
tenance. The reamining $7,KH1,H73
went to the State Highway Depart-
ment for construction and mainten-
ance of state highways. This was ap
proximately 40 p« r cent. The popular
belief among motorists wh« o paying
their registration fees is that the
state receives all or most of the lit -
mse fees. Such is not the case.
"A tabulation made of motor ve
hide tax collections by highway dis-
tricts shows that the bulk of th**
funds coming to th highway fund
fiom motor vehicle registration fee*
originate in a relatively small num.
tier of counties. These are the heavilv
populated counties. In a majority of
the counties the state receive., only
negligible sum- from -ale of dupli-
cate licenses and penalties."
In District No 14 the counties re-
tained .TiX.T'f in motor vehicle
registration and $HMi.lK4.59 was al-
located to the stat*- highway fund A
division of the license fee- in each
county of the district is attached.
