the two leading political parties opposite to the Governor's political
party.

of the Department of Public Works. (Ch. 29, 1922.)

This Department administers all financial and physical transactions
applicable to the construction and maintenance of all State roads and
bridges on the road system. (Ch. 539, 1931.) The construction of new
roads, whether Lateral or Post, on the system is financed from the pro-
ceeds of one and one half cent (1 1/2c) gasoline tax. Federal Aid and with
contributions from the Counties through bond issues. New bridges on
the State system of roads are constructed from proceeds of State Bonds.

The cost of maintaining all existing roads and bridges on the system
is first reserved and deducted from the net income derived from auto-
mobile license fees imposed and collected by the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles and remitted to this Commission, together with net revenue
derived from the two cent (2c) gasoline tax set over to the use of this
Commission, After deducting the cost of maintenance from the combined
total receipts of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, and the two cent
(2c) gasoline tax received by this Commission, the remainder of such
fund is expended for projects of reconstruction, betterments and addi-
tions to the entire system. Grade crossings are eliminated by the ex-
penditure of funds coming into the hands of this Commission from the
one half cent {Vac) gasoline tax, together with contributions by the
Railroad companies.
