§ 61. Payment by counties of a portion of the cost of construction

under repair contracts. Whenever in the maintenance and repair of state

highways the department of transportation shall have determined upon the

necessity of resurfacing, reconstructing or repairing such highway, the

county wherein the highway is located may by resolution provide that not

to exceed fifty per centum of the cost of such resurfacing,

reconstructing or repairing shall be borne by the county. The provisions

of this chapter shall apply to such resurfacing, reconstructing and

repairing of state highways in the same manner as to the original

construction thereof in so far as the same may be applicable thereto.
