system Of State highways, which
comprises 1860 miles out of a total
highway mileage. exclusive of roads
and streets in the compact portion
of cities and villages, of 23,104 miles.
The system, therefore, is little less
than seven per cent Of the entire road
mileage. It connects all cities. all
shire towns and all of the larger
towns; as matter of fact, there are
c3S cities and towns out of 521 which
are directly connected by the State
highway system. In these 238 cities
ard towns are found seventy three
per cent of the States valuation, and
the Commission believes in conse-
ouence that it is fair to assume that
substantially three-quarters of the
highway travel will be found upon
this mileage of roads.
StateAid System
The State aid system consists of
between 5000 and $500 miles of road
We have been working on about 5000
miles, the policy of the Commission
being to complete one road in a
and the average State aid road is six
miles long and there are a little over
five hundred towns which have desig-
hated State aid roads
The original provision for mainten-
ance was that the Highway Com
mission should maintain the improv-
ed portions Of the State and State aid
systems and the further. direction
vas given that the maintenance
should be done by patrol as far as
possible. In the earlier years State
aid work was done in disconnected
Ipatches. The policy had generally
prevailed of rebuilding the worst sec
ton of the State aid road in each
some low swampy place. In conse-
quence 1t was difficult to establish a
| patrol. because the improved sections
were so disconnected. In 1915 the
legislature provided that towns should
cooperate with the Highway Com
/ mission in selecting mileage Of I'm
improved road to be added to the inn
proved road. so that patrol mainten-
arce could be carried on on a con-
| tinuous section OF highway This
| has resulted in patrol maintenance
on substantially the whole system Of
State and State aid highways. For
the last six years we have had from
1900 to $500 miles OF road under pa
troll each year, employing about 500
ratrolmen. The work has been car
ried on in about $50 towns and the
few disconnected sections of i'm
proved State aid road which could
rot be patrofled have been cared for
on fifty fifty basis between the
State and the town.
