Providing County Gives Same
Amount.

Middlesex county road conditions
are dispjeasing to the state highway
commission and the allotment to the
county of s16O,00o for road work has
been granted by the commission only
ON the condition that the county lay
aside q similar sun for road work.

compIimented for their roc condt-
lions, while Middlesex was the only
one TO come In for and for
a conditional appropriation.

every county more than 1t asked for
from the motor vehicle funds. This
money goes toward repairing and
maintaining the highways of the
state. A portion of the fund was
also reserved as an emergency to
take care of that portion of the new
highway system which the commis~
sion has adopted. Wherever the COM
mission takes owe the highway sys-

sponsibility of it's maintenance. The
commission reserved 10000 for the
coming ear out of the motor vehicle
funds for this purpose.

bly, Ocean, Monmouth and Hudson,
were complimented for the manner
in which they spent their past allot-
ments and the hne results obtained.
In Passatc and several other counties
the allotments made for this year
were accompanied by a condition
that these counties repair some very
essential links in their roads that
have been neglected in the past.
