Inter- County Road System for
Improvement with this fund:

Inter-County Road System for
Improvement with this fund:
The Lincoln Highway across
Harrison County beginning at the
North line of Section Two (2),
Township Eighty-one (S1) North,
Range Forty-one (44) West 5th
p. NJ, and following said high
way as now located or as will be
located in the near future
Through the towns of Dunlap,
Woodbine, Logan and Missouri
Valley to the south line of Section
Thirty-four (34), Township Sew
enty-eight (7s) North, Range
Forty-four (44) West of the 5th
P. M. as indicated on the attached
map.
In selecting the roads to be
the board should re-
quest the county engineer to pre-
sent tentative estimates of the
cost according to the nature of
The Improvement designated by
the board, and should then select
only a sufficient number of miles
to make up the county's allot-
ment of the Federal County Co
Operative Road Fund, plus any
funds which the county or inter
ested parties may wish to add to
such allotment.
Under the federal law and the
rules of the Secretary of Agri-
culture. the cost of extra work,
engineering, inspection, and con-
|tingencies must be provided for
in the original estimate. These
costs shall not exceed ten per
cent of the total estimated cost of
the project. Accordingly, the
county engineer, in making up his
tentative estimate of cost of any
proposed project, shall set aside
ten per cent of his county's ap-
portionment to cover the cost of
extra work, engineering, inspec-
ton, and contingence, and shall
then base the size of the project
on the remaining portion of the
|county's apportionment. Should
the actual cost of extra work,
engineering, inspection, and con-
|tingencies, be less than the ten
per cent set aside, the unexpend-
ed balance will be used in extend
ing the work as far as possible.
That we designate such road
for improvement by constructing
TO finished grades, providing the
necessary drainage and elimina-
|tion of danger at railroad cross
ings,
That we pledge the good faith
of the county:
(1) To provide funds for and
cause to be constructed of per-
manent construction all culverts
on said project, and all bridges,
except as otherwise agreed upon
by the State Highway Commission
and the board of supervisors.
(2) To provide the necessary
funds for, and to secure the nee
cssary right of way as may be re-
quired by the finished plans, and
60 To enter into contract
with the State Highway Commits
sion to cause said road to be i'm
proved in accordance with the
plans and specifications, and to
maintain said improvements in
accordance with the Federal Aid
Road Act and the rules made
thereunder.
