101.29  Providing machines; payment for same.--The authorities adopting the use of voting machines shall, as soon as practicable, provide for each polling place one or more voting machines in complete working order, and the authorities in charge of elections shall preserve and keep such machines repaired and have custody of same when not in use at any election. If it is impracticable to supply each election district with voting machines at any election, as many may be supplied as it is practicable to procure, and these may be used in the districts as the officers adopting the machine may direct. The board of county commissioners or the municipal authorities, on the adoption and rental or purchase of voting machines, shall provide for the payment for such machines.
