which passed the house last Wednes-
day by a vote of 282 to AZ, will if it
becomes a law, give 1854, 100 to
Kentucky for good roads building,
provided the same amount is raised
by the counties through which the
road pass.
The federal plan is to give annual
ly from an appropriation of $685.
100000 appropriations to each state.
The requirement is a tax of only 5
cents on each 500. which would pro-
duce a revenue of 100000 annually
producing from these two sources
81, 1888, $50 which, when supplement-
ed by tax from the counties of an
equal sum would provide 81, 1861, 800,
or a sufficient income to build within
eleven years 6 200 miles of road con-
Meeting every country seat in the
state with every other one.
The amount apportioned to each
state is reckoned on the percentage
of total population and post road
mileage in the state.
| AS Kentucky is one of the twenty
two states that have no road laws
each county desiring to receive fed
eral aid may do so by applying t
the governor. who will in turn apply
to the secretary of agriculture, anc
if approved the county will receive
its apportionment based on its p pu
lation and mileage of its post roads
