f'cople of Oklahoma are paying in
taxes for road and bridge purposes
about $::000.o(Mi per year and the
statement i made that not to exceed
fifty miles of substantial road haa

of the highway department is to ex

situation and aid county nut horifies
In seeing thitt the money is spent
properly for the purposes for which
it Is collected. Itut. two counties
have floated bonds for road im-
provement Choc-taw county voted
$Un0CM and Wagoner $nn000. In
three instances ha .vuitty road
districts been formed those beine;

j in bonds each. Counties may levy
j tip to 2 per cent of their valuation?
and towiiHhips up to 3 ier cent.
In Indian Territory the toads have
been a problem. Townships havj
been forced to buy rights of way. II
Is best the state department thinks
to flout sufficient bonds to construct
the roads and hridsns and then rely
upon a tax for maintenance.
Township Road Law.
The township road law is now in
the iiiipreine court upon complaint of
a taxpayer and until its constitu-
tionality Is established there can be
no concerted action for genera! road
improvement. At the present the
highway department has no appro-
priation being compelled to exist off
a $1 tax levied by the legislature
against automobiles for its special
support and the legislature neglected
to provide a penalty if the machine
owner did not pay.
There is no state registration of
machines save In reports showiii'.?
the number made to the state high-
way department. When the $1 tax
Is paid it comes through the county
clerks and only in this way may
the number of automobiles in the
state be estimated.
Activity of Highway Department
Although working without pay the
highway department officials have
been able to accomplish considerable
They have taken it ukui themselves
to defeat bond issues in several sec-
tions for the reason the counticB
or townships had no ryrns or speci-
fications justifying the expenditure
of the money.
