The first step that has been taken

pose there is appropriated, by the
State, the sum of $500 per mile,
payable in monthly installments, up
on presentation to the State Auditor
of certificates signed by the Chair
man of the County Highway Board
and the State Highway Commission
er. This certificate will set forth the
number of miles of road on each
route.
It is further provided the County
Court of each county shall appoint a
County Highway Board Of three
members, whose term of office will
be two years and who shall serve
without pay. Within ten days from
the date Of their appointment they
shall meet and organize by selecting
one OF their number Chairman and
another Secretary. The Secretary

Highway Commissioner at jefferson
City Z copy Of the minutes Of such
meeting. The County Highway En-
rineer shall be an ex-officio member
