27:13-3.  Time for filing programs;  hearings;  co-ordination of programs
    The commissioner may fix a date on or before which counties and municipalities shall file their annual work program, but in case of emergencies  which were not anticipated, amendments thereto may at any time be filed and  approved.

    Prior to approving the programs and extending state aid to the projects set  forth therein the commissioner may hold hearings with the governing bodies of  the counties or municipalities concerned, with a view to recommending such  additions to, removals from or changes in the work program as will best enable  the counties and municipalities to develop the highways under their  jurisdiction in co-operation and co-ordination with the state highway system  and with each other.  The commissioner may deny the extension of state aid to  projects which in his judgment do not comply with this requirement.
