State aid, in the modern sense however, does not recognize toll roads, nor does it assuuie the entire burden of the improvement as was at first done in a part of New En land. Rather is the present approved phin the one of appor- tioning the cost between the state and its local subdivisions. This sohem was Ili-st introduced by the State oi Ngew Jersey less than a score of ears ag , and her example was quickly iolloired hy Massa- chusetts a.nd Vermont, i i Tlaere are tlu‘ea diferent and distinct imetliods of carrying out good roads op- efikions under state direction, each prac- &ic\ having its adherents among the sis- bnfwod of states.

U yet in its infancy insofar as practical suits achieved are concerned is attes ' by the fact that there are upwards ol 225.000 miles of ublie roads in tho Uni States. Up to date only about 176, miles of these roads, or little more than ` per cent. of the total have been improved' Such roads as have been improved ha for the most part, been surfaced wi gravel, but there iran increasing dilpv , tion to ues stone and special niateri for surfacin .
