entitled "an act to provide that the United States shall aid the
states in the construction of rural post roads, and for other
purposes," together with all acts and legislation, amendatory or

construction, improvement, maintenance or repair of public roads
or highways. The transportation commission is authorized to
enter into all contracts and agreements with the United States
government relating to the construction and maintenance of roads
under the provisions of the act or acts of congress to submit
the scheme or program or construction or maintenance as may be
required by the federal highway administration and to do all
other things necessary fully to carry out the cooperation
contemplated and provided for by the act or acts, for the
construction or improvement of highways under the act, the good
faith of the state is pledged to make available funds sufficient
to equal the sums apportioned to the state by or under the
United States government during each of the years for which
federal funds are appropriated by section 3 of the act and to
maintain the roads so constructed with the aid of funds
appropriated and to make adequate provisions for carrying out
maintenance. Cooperative agreements under the provisions of the
act shall be entered into with the federal highway
administration only by the commission, but may be for the
construction or improvement of either a state highway or a
county road. If the road to be improved under such cooperative
agreement is a state highway, the state's share of the expense
shall be borne entirely by the state; if the highway to be
improved or constructed under such cooperative agreement is not
a state highway, the state's share of the cost of the work shall
be divided between the state and the county upon such basis as
the commission shall determine, and before an agreement is
entered into with the federal highway administration the county
must furnish the right-of-way and shall have entered into an
agreement with the commission whereby it shall agree to pay its
share of the cost and to pay the cost of all subsequent
maintenance, work which shall be performed by and under the
supervision of the director of the department of transportation,
and the county also shall pay into the state highway fund its
share of the estimated cost of the construction.
