He pointed. out that recent changes in the Highways Act have made a great difference in the man- ner in which County money is appor- tioned for work on streets in urban municipalities. Where formerly each municipality received a certain amount each year, which, if unused, remained to their credit, these bal- ..anc_es havecall been turned back into the general fund and now if. the town wants to have a road builtwith the assistance . of County money they must appeal to the road commission; whose duty it is to decide the type of road that shall be built and how much money should be spent; This makes it necessaryfor the represent- atives of the town to keep in touch .with the commission and puts a great deal of work on them... !'I'.. .......-..L .3 LL.` Winounn nnihvnif. deal or Work on mem..
