Gentlemen: We, your committee on

port as follows:
We have carefully examined the &C

plete road outfit, and Eighteen Hun

the ensuing year and that such COM
mittee have the same powers hereto
fore given to it by resolution of this
Board, excepting in so far as modified

that the county levy an amount equal
to the cOunty's share of the improve
mentS and allOt to each town petition

the state highway fund allotted to said
county in the same ratio that it's pc
titioned amount bears to the total
amount petitiOned for by all the towns
