Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council. Thursday, May 29, 1918, at
10 a. M

Now that the Governor and Council
have made apportionments from the
$4,000 available for the seven coun-
provement and building of State roads,
the work is expected To start in the
towns benefited by the apportionments
within short time.
Commissioner Hardison. Thursday,
announced the towns who received
state aid as follows:
Washburn. s509S- Hodgdan. $1,000;
Twp. 3 r. p. $1,000; Twp. I. r. .,
sSoOo. Topsfield, a2 $1,000; Houlton

$1,000; Hari ison, $1,000; Westbrook.
S2500; Harpswell. S1500; Brunswick,
5000; Waterford, $1000
Many of the roads in these towns
are in bad shape and sadly out OF re-
pair. The increased number of auto
mobiles. and especially the number
belonging TO tourists who come into
this state for recreation make ii
doubly more imperative for the State
To expend more money on good roads.
The licensing of automobiles is a
great asset, as at almost any time the
State has on hand a large amount
from which to apportion amounts to
the aid of the towns. 1t Is from thi..
found that these amounts will be
drawn.
