■'nnounced But whether these
allocations will satisf-' the various

he s°n. For while many of the muni

allocations to be made on the basis of
nopula.tion, they have been made on
he basis of maintenance needs as de
termined by careful surveys made by
Itat* highway engineers.
The allocations made total $470,546
for 857 53 miles of streets traversed by
State highways in cities and towns
with an aggregate population of 1,-
047.845 people. This leaves neatly
$30,000 of the $500,000 still unused,
but which may be used before the ex

“While we do not expect those cities

apportioned on the basis of popula

the basis we have used in allocating
this money is much fairer than the
