In this state, nearly every square inch of land is subject to real estate taxes. This includes the roads and road right of ways. The landowners, usually farmers, pay real estate taxes on the land to the center of the roadway. In fact, the landowners essentially own the roads. The right of way is basically only an easement across their land. These property taxes have been paid on this unusable land for many generations. The tax rate here for the roadway is the same as productive land is. I personally pay for a mile and a half long x 66 ft. wide strip of roadway every year. That's 12 acres of unproductive land, not growing a crop, that I pay tax on each and every year. Plus the income lost from the acres if it was crop land like the rest of it is. Kinda blows your little pittance paid in road tax out of the water doesn't it? And some landowners have way more roadway on their properties than I do. And, in this grain country, the farmers intermittently use the roads MAYBE 60 days in a calendar year.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
