At this time the following opinion
by Roger G. Wearne, Prosecuting At

You have this day requested on op.
iniOn as to the right of the County
Commissioners of this county to dis.
pose of gravel from lands owned by
the county the same to be used by
the State Highway Department in the
of public highways with
in this county. Section 3423 Compiled |
Statutes gives the Board of County |
Commissioners power to sell at public
auction after thirty days notice, ETC.,
any property real or personal, belong
ing to the county not necessary for its
use, etc. know of no other provision
for the disposition of property owned
by the county.
AS 1 understand the facts in this
instance, it would be impracticahle to
wait until such notice could ~be given.
1t is also my understanding that 1t Is
n the public interest that this road
should be made available for
he building of this State Highway
With a minimum of expense and delay
t is the declared policy of the law to
the building of highways and
is my opinion that, where such ma
erial is devoted exclusively to the
'uilding of public highways within
his county, no harm could result or
ublic interest suffer If the STATE
Highway Department or their duly
authorized representative were per
litted to remove from the said county
roperty and employ in the building
public highways within this county
UGH gravel or other road material As
hey may require.
Yours very truly,
oyer G. Wearne, Prosecuting Atty
Thereupon the Board adjourned un.
