State road building program includes plans for Summit County
The Colorado Good Roads Association is putting forth a plan that would have the state legislature put an amendment to the state constitution up for vote in order to finance a state highway system. The plan includes a high license tax on all motor vehicles to replace the present personal property tax on automobiles to build and maintain state roads; authorizing the state legislature to issue up to $25 million in bonds; and a comprehensive system of 46 main state highways, which the must be built before any other state road construction can get underway.
