Opinion on Routes.-An opinion has
been given to Samuel d. Foster, chief
engineer of the State Highway De-
partment by Deputy Attorney General
Wolf to the effect that the State is
liable for maintenance of a State
route which has been relocated, only
where established by the last act.
| The case arose because of a change of

of Cruise and Evitts. Now it goes by
way of Bedford Springs. The care of
the former route reverts to local au-
thorities.
