(a) A hard surfaced state or county highway may be extended into the corporate limits of a municipality to connect with the paving of such municipality under the following conditions:

(1) When any state or county highway within any county has been completed with hard surface to the limits of any municipality which maintains a system of street paving but none of the paved streets of which reach to or connect with such hard surfaced state or county highway; or

(2) When such paved streets are not at a greater distance than two (2) miles from such hard surfaced highway; or

(3) If the board of county commissioners of such county finds and so certifies of record that such municipality is unable to extend its paving to connect with such hard surfaced state or county highway by reason of the value of abutting real estate that would be liable for such paving being inadequate to sustain the cost thereof; or

(4) If it will be for the best interests of the citizens and residents of such county that such hard surfaced highways be connected with the paving in such municipality by a hard surfaced road.

(b) Provided, however, that the cost of such extension within such municipality as herein provided shall be borne by the county within which such municipality is located.

(c) Provided, further, that when federal aid may be obtained, the board of county commissioners shall take such action as will secure federal aid available for the construction of any hard surfaced road or street as authorized by this section.
