During the last session of the Legis-
lature an appropriation of $4,000 was
made available for use in 1902 to aid
towns in repairing and building roads.
The law provides that municipal Of
iicers shall request the county COM
missioners to designate that highway
running through these towns which
their Judgment is the main thorough
fare, and that highway shall be known
as state road.
Towns establishing such state roads
may secure from the State aid, not ex
ceeding 800, which will be one-half Of
the whole amount expended on said
highways. Work must be done before
the first day Of August. else the State
aid cannot he secured.
1t is also required that municipal Of
iicers shall certify under oath to the
county commissioners on or before the
Ist day of September, the amount ex-
pended by their town in such perTan-
nent lmprov ements. and the county
commissioners must inspect such roads
and certify to the Governor and Council
the sum which the town Is entitled to
receive from the state.
1t is further provided that no town
which receives by special act an APP
Precipitation assistance from the State
! IN the construction or repair OF Its
highways or bridges shall be entitled
TO the benefits of this act during the
year in which such assistance is given.
II Either the towns of the State do not
understand the provisions Of this good
roads" law or else they do not care to
take advantage of the same Is evident
from tie fact that only IL towns have
| notified the secretary of State. These
| towns are claimants for the maximum
sum OF s4lo0 out Of the appropriation Of
I slg. coo; but only five of these towns
. rave thus far been given certificates
I by the commissioners in the counties
\ where they are located. In other
words but five towns. with claims Of
not more than $500, have really COM
Piled with the full provisions of the
Law.
Perhaps this year more towns will
avail, themselves of the opportunity OF
securing aid from the State than did SO
last year. inasrlucl1 as the funds for
the purpose are uow available.
