The county- road commission advanced six reasons why it shouldn't aid the work Tuesday in rejecting the Grand Rapids request that the two governmental units evenly divide the cost. The city wanted the county to pay half of the $1,485,000 it will cost for a proposed Interstate 96 east-west penetration route and half of the $18.110.130 cost of the city's share of the U. S. 131 expressway.

In refusing the request the county road commission noted: --It is bound by law to spend funds returned to it from gas and weight taxes for primary and local county roads. --The county has 1.800 miles ol county roads and also maintains 250 miles of state trunklines. --To determine if funds will be available in the future is virtually impossible since the proportionate distribution of the gas and weight taxes is subject to the legislature. --The construction of freeways will require improvement of many county roads so they will be able to keep pace with freeway- originated traffic. --The road commission has to operate on a pay-as-you-go basi and it would be dangerous to deviate from this policy.
