statements made by members from the differ
ent towns, and receiving the several amount,
which those members deemed absolutely nee
essary, and to which they deemed their towns
entitled, gave us an aggregate far beyond our
ability to allow, and as the amounts asked
for in some towns were to be applied in sever.
al places, your committee in consideration OF
the reduction that necessarily had to be made
in the sums asked for believe it impossible 10
locate the appropriations to the best adyan.
tage for the towns, therefore have not located
the work. believing that the town Boards
could better apply it on those bridges that
have been swept away and roads that have
partially been destroyed. We therefore ask
the Board to sustain us in our decision. and
would recommend that these appropriations
shall not be drawn from the treasury until
majority of the town Board of Supervisors of
such towns shall file with the County Clerk n
certified statement of sum of money equal to
one-half of such appropriation has been ex.
pended by the town on the identical work
where these appropriations shall be applied.
which sum shall be separate and apart from
the ordinary mill tax assessed for road pur-
poses. The following are the appropriations:
