Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Highway Commissioner to the Governor: For the Years Ended December 31, 1907 and 1908, Including State Specifications and Public Laws Governing Town Management of Highways Under this law, the yearly appropriation was increased to one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars making a total of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the two years, to be used for general work. It having been found, under the law of 1897, that while towns having a large grand list experienced no difficulty in taking care of their obligations in accepting State aid, quite a hard ship was imposed on towns not so strong financially, in dis charging their obligations. So the basis of award of the State appropriation was changed. In all towns having a grand list of over one million dollars the State contributed two-thirds of the expense, while in towns having a grand list of less than one million dollars the State's contribution was three - fourths. The maximum amount to be expended by any one town in any one year was not to exceed forty-five hundred dollars The law also provided that towns should pay contractors for the work as it progressed, the State to reimburse the towns, to the extent of its obligation,8 highway commissioner's biennial report, 1907508.
