State Highway Construction Bonds at a total par value of $449,500,000 will have been issued, of which amount $280,767,000 is outstanding. The State Highway Construction Bonds are secured by a pledge of appropriate portions of the Commission's share of the Gasoline Tax Fund and the Excise Tax on Issuance of Certificate of Title _ to Motor Vehicles. The remainder of such revenues, together with Federal appropriations and proceeds from the sale of State Highway Construction Bonds is available for construction purposes. |
