This book is a biennial report from the Connecticut State Highway Commissioner to the Governor, providing a comprehensive overview of the state's highway system from 1907 to 1908. It begins with a digest of all highway laws passed in the state from 1895 to 1907, when a new law led to significant changes in how the state funded and maintained its highway system. The author describes the negative consequences of leaving repair and maintenance costs solely to towns and provides an overview of the transition to state responsibility for repairs and maintenance. The report also discusses the increased use of the automobile and the impact of this new technology on the highway system, including the decreased use of horse-drawn vehicles on certain roads. The author concludes that this and other changes necessitated a change in the way the state approached highway maintenance and repair, affirming that the report's insights remain significant for understanding the evolution of highway systems worldwide.
