R ural R oad A id Backed by Senator

state Senator W arren M. Anderson is co-sponsoring a new town highway assistance bill which will provide more than $250 million over the next decade to protect and upgrade roads in the ru ra l areas of New York State.

Senator Anderson pointed out th a t in the past 18 years, town and sta te governments have in­vested more than $168 million in improving 17,000 miles of the S ta te ’s 52,000-mile town highway system.

In Delaware county, 873 miles of roads have been im­proved between 1952 and 1969 with an expenditure of more than $7.5 million. This cost was shared by the • town and sta te governments. The orig­inal assistance prograr i, popu­larly known as the Erv. la 1 Ian, will expire in 1972.

Senator Anderson sta ted hat as a result of hearings last summer and the continuing need, this new town highway proposal will aid the towns by doubling construction assist­ance and adding two new op­tions:

1. Increasing the aid ceiling for eligible road construction from $9,000 to $18^000 per mile, with slightly higher construc­tion standards.

2. S ta te will share surfacing cost of roads and subsequent construction up to $4,500 a mile.

3. Bridges up to 25 feet in length, on the above-described roads, would qualify for the same percentage of aid as towns would receive under items 1 and 2.

4. The S ta te ’s share would not be less than 25 per cent nor m ore than 75 per cent of the total approved expendi­tures for all projects up to $36,- 000, by the town, in any one year.
