Annapolis
The new State Roads Commission
held its nrst meeting. Governor
Richie attending.
The commission decided in effect
that no contracts for lateral roads
will be awarded until the several coun-
ties shall have contributed OF guar
anteed their share of the cost OF con
struction as provided by the new loan,
one-half OF the cost being borne by the
state and onehalf by the counties with
such deductions as may be possible
by federal aid and by funds now avail
able.
The commission considered the two
following propositions. which are i'm
mediately pressing;
The amount Of unobligated funds
on hand available for new construc-
ton. 1t was not possible TO ascer-
tain from the commissions books and
reports what this amount is without
an audit. The commission felt that
it was necessary 20 know accurately
how much free money Is available
for new road construction before con
sidering the question Of what new
roads should be built. Accordingly,
the State Auditor was called before
the commission, and he viii at once
audit the commissions books. and
report to the next meeting OF the
commission, to be held on Thursday,
June IL at II A. NJ, what the exact
situation is when 1t will at once be
made known to the public.
A new system of bookkeeping will
then be inaugurated, from which the
financial condition Of the road funds
will be at all times known, and made
public by periodical reports.
Table Is Studied.
The commission closely studied the
following table, which shows the road
mileage in each county, the percent.
age OF the total road fund to be pro
vided by each county and the
amount OF each countys share for
the first year. To the total sum Of
s750,00O will be added appropriations
by the Federal government for inr
proyements Of post roads, and any
funds now available, funds from
these sources being about equal to
