Lucas raised the point that there
was legal aspect that should be look
ed into. Chairman Smith agreed with
this view and called attention to the
Act 80 which limited the fund for the
construction, maintenance and repair
of roads
Archer called attention to the tact
that such method had been in vogue
before several years ago.
Chairman Smith said that 1t was un-
doubtedly proper to do so at that
time which had been before the county
government.
On suggestion of Chairman Smith the
report was amended so as to merely
recommend that the claim be allowed
in order that a regular appropriation
could be made. The report was there
upon referred to the committee on pub
