guarantees to each county $4,000 per
mile for the roads specified and in
case the terrain is such that amount
is not sufficient to construct the min
imum IL foot roadway bound with
gravel as the federal requirements
specify, then that county will be al
lowed more funds with which to con-
struct such a road.
If any of the $50, ,O00, 900 is left when
the system as provided is entirely con-
structed the State Highway Depart
ment is empowered 10 improve exist
ing roads or build new ones.
