St"tc was held Tuesday at the Van
Ness House. Tho meeting was called to
discuss the road situation in a general
way as Mr.. Gates leaves to-day on
the first OF the visits to the different
counties. II developed at the meeting that
more money would be expended under
Tie direction of state officials on roads
this YER than ever before as the towns
'aking advantage OF the new law. have
made larger appropriations.
Mr.. Gates made known Tuesday to
the supervisors what he would expect in
general way of the towns which will
receive ola from the state and the sup.
orvisors IN turn will communicate with
the town Officials.
Statements about the appropriations
made at the town meetings for road
have not all been received al the high
way commissioners office but the total
amount Will exceed 10000. or $4,000 more
than last year, and means that nearly
every town has responded to the States
cifcr This will make in round numbers
$1,000 To he spent under the supervision
Of the state. About $4,000 Of this amount
comes from the automobile tax.
1t is to he the policy Of the road build

purpose. In n number Of cases crooked

the small towns themselves but rather
from individuals wh- had something To
gain, apparently, by stirring up doubt
and prejudice.
There are 1873 out of 2i6 towns and cit
