valuable information IL has to.the tax
payers and voters:
Tucumcari, N. NJ, May 2, 1917
Hon. Harry II. McElroy,
City.
Dear Sir:
In answer to your inquiry Of the
28th inst will state that after meeting
with the State Highway Board at their
last meeting at Santa Fe, April 20, and
getting a thorough construction of the
new law, I will advise that the county
commissioners can apportion this bond
money to roads, that are not yet de-
signated on the county records.
will quote you one section of the new
law that gives light on THIS very point
"The several Boards of county COM
missioners of the state are hereby en-
powered and directed to have prepared
in accordance with the specifications
to be prescribed by the state highway
commission, map which shall show
the complete system Of county high
ways, both existing and prospective in
their respective counties, which map
shall be filed with the state highway
commission and copy thereof with
the County Clerk, such map shall be
altered or changed from time to time
as may be necessary in order to keep
it up to date"
Also in our conference with the
state board asked the same question
you have asked me and used the same
road for an example, the Board assur-
ed me by virtue of it's being used as
highway for period of ten years, and
in view Of its going to be designated
as county highway, portion of
the bond money can be expended or
set aside for future expenditure on it
or any other road of similar circum-
stances, but in my judgment some one
in each locality should take steps at
an early date to have their roads des-
ignated and thereby eliminate any
confusion that might arise. | also
wish to speak few words of praise
for this state highway board. | be-
lieve the Governor used good judgment
in selecting the members of this board
as they treated US very courteous; they
impressed each of us as being a nice
clean set of gentlemen. | feel sure
they fully realize the responsibility
they are under and will make every
reasonable effort possible to cooper
ate with the Board Of County Commits
siontrs in the construction and main
tanning OF Highways throughout the
State.
J can further assure you that tn,
Board Of County Commissioners will
+rrortion the bond issue money as
fairly Grd impartially as possible to
the different localities. other than the
East End West road. as provisions
Rave ,,rcady been madn to take care
Of that. Trusting this answers your
questions satisfactorily, remain.
Very truly yours,
w. A. Dodson,
County Commissioners -. Dist.
tucumcari, Quay County, N. NJ.
