Came Henry DeHaven NORMAN,
formerly county judge of Breckenridge
county, and requested of the Breckin-
ridge County Fiscal Court that it vote
upon the passage of the following reso-
luton, viz:
BE it resolved by the Fiscal Court of
Breckenridge county, Kentucky, that it
is our opinion that there is no road
law upon the statute books Of
Kentucky which practically fits the
needs, demands and conditions of
Breckinridge county; that this court and
our county favor an amendment to the
present road law which will permit our
county to avail itself of state aid, at
least, so long as the money received
from the state is applied on an inter
county seat road under state supervi-
sion and reasonable regulation of the de-
partment, but to be applied either in
dirt work, grading and preparing there.
fore, or piking, as the Fiscal Court may
determine; and that said court further
recommend an amendment, to the pres
ent law, or the action necessary to the
enactment of new law, which will per-
NIT vote to be taken i'll any magiste-
rial district, of any county, desiring
same, and the issuing of bonds by such
district, or districts, under proper regu-
lation, in a reasonable and legal amount,
tor the purpose of the construction re-
pair and maintenance of the public roads
of such district, or districts, under state
aid, and state supervision, or with the
Fiscal Courts direction, as may seem
best and, further, that the present law
be amended, or construed, so as to 4
permit the construction of metal roads
on lasting and substantial basis, but
on less expensive and extensive grades,
specifications and requirements; the
purpose of these suggestions and this
action being not intended as a criticism
but simply a suggestion to get road
law more general, equitable and elastic
in its application, and better adapted to
and more easily applied in the poorer
counties of the class in which Breckin-
ridge belongs. If districts could vote
bonds, the suggestion as to state aid
would not be so urgent, but we believe
majority of the votes cast should con-
troll"
Whereupon, it is moved by Justice ID.
c. Heron, and seconded by Justice Chas.
Robbins, that the foregoing resolution
be adopted as the sense and urgent re-
quest of this court to Breckenridge coun-
