Inc number of cities and towns
which have taken advantage of the
sood road fund, provided for by the
Legislature of 1901 is very large. This
act provides that any town establish
ing State road shall receive from the
state one-half of the amount actually
| expended upon such road each year,
not exceeding $780, providing, however,
that the amount which the city or
town shall exDend shall not be less
than 500. Already $50 cities and
towns have made application for this
| money and some four or five have
! filed certificates showing that thew
| nave expended the required amount to
entltle them to State aid. The others
| have only filed an application for the
aid, pending the expenditure of the
| money.
