There is no tiAie limitation on the use of State street-aid funds so some municipalities carry forward unused funds for future years. Many of the smaller towns accumu late their funds for several years to build up a large enough amount for a big, needed project. How did the municipalities use their State street-aid funds during fiscal 1956? A total of $1,724,909 or 33 per cent was spent for new paving. The second largest amount —51,504,366 or 29 per cent—was spent for maintenance. Twelve per cent or $634,986 went for resurfac ing. The remaining 26 per cent of the funds were spent on. drainage and storm sewer work, equipment, stabilization, curb and gutter work, widening, right of way, grading, gas, oil and repairs,' engineering, opening new streets, debt service, traffic control, bridge construction, administration, map survey, and bridge repairs. The first State street-aid alloca tions were made to incorporated, active, eligible and qualified cities and towns as of July 1, 1951. Since) then, the five annual allocations through fiscal 1956 have totalled $25,839,838. During this five-year' period, however, the cities and towns have used only $23,685,906, leaving an unused balance of $2,- 153,932 for future use. The report said that “No abso? lute value can be placed on- the benefits received by the cities and! towns from State street-aid funds. Undoubtedly, though, the street work resulting f*>m these funds has had a far greater value than the actual money spent. “The availability of this new revenue has stimulated additional large amounts of other municipal funds to be spent for local street purposes. Many cities have levied special assessments for street con struction to help them use some of their State street-aid funds and other street funds over and over again for street construction. “However, the allocation of $25,- 839,838 in State funds to the cities and towns during the past five years has greatly contributed to the realization of many needed im provements on streets which ar6 not on the State highway system.” State street-aid funds are, deriv ed from a one-half of one cent of | the State gasoline tax. The funds are distributed in cash to the par ticipating municipalities on the ba sis of 50 per cent on relative popu lation and 50 per cent on relative local non-highway system street mileage.

When you place your name on the back of a check at the left end, without qualification, you’re saying chat you personally have received the value of that check. This is known as a “blank” endorsement. Should you endorse a check this way at home and lose it enroute to the bank, the finder might get the money instead of you. To protect yourself, wait until you’re ready to A,'check can be endft&M. t° * specific individual of film you -are not cashing or depositing it yourself. When you write on the back, “Pay to the order» Jm. Doe” and sign, your name below, John Doe ean cash it es his endorsement below yours. You, have transferred the value o the_«4ieck to him.
