be handled as if no new road bill had
been enacted.
One of the provisions of Paragraph
II relates to those counties that de-
sire to anticipate the construction Of
primary roads that cross their county
and reads as follows:
eff any county desires to construct
any part of any primary road before
the state may construct same under
plan and system herein designated,
such county shall make request of the
State Highway Commission so to do.
when such request is made, the state
highway commission shall immediate
ly investigate such request, and, if
they find that the county has funds
available to construct any part of
such road, and viii pay for the con-
struction thereof, the State Highway
Commission may take up Immediately
by the construction of such road, but
they shall not do so until the county
has taken such steps as they may
require to make available subjects TO
their order sufficient funds to pay for
the construction Of such road When
the county has satisfied these require
ments, the State Highway commits
sion may proceed TO construct such
road in the same way and manner un-
der the same regulations that they
construct other roads as herein pro-
vided. They shall keep careful ac-
count of the money thus of which
such road is a part shall have been
completed, the state shall refund TO
the county the full amount of money
thus advanced with proper certifica-
ton of the State Highway commits
sion"
This is the only provision in the
new read bill which has any connec-
ton with reimbursement and you will
carefully note that an arrangement
of this kind will need to be perfected
with the new State Highway Com
mission, and that it will in no way
be mandatory for them to enter into
such agreement, being purely within
their discretion. I feel sure in some
Instances, to hasten the construction
of certain important projects in oul
state, and this Commission will sec
lift to enter into such agreement witt
counties that have fund is available
for the financing of the project, bu
do not believe that indiscriminate us'
will be made of this plan, as it woult
create too large a liability for future
wears to take care of. You will alsc
note that even though such an ar
Irangement is made, no reimburse
ment can be given until the projec
of which the road in that particula
county is a part has been completes
in it's entirely.
To my mind, the two above men
toned paragraphs are of more con
Germ to the various counties at tn
present time than any other part o
this new road bill, and I trust tina
this explanation, although persona
: one, will be of some benefit to you i
more thorough understanding of tn
present status of road construction u
until the time the new law become
effective.
