Mr.. Albert Johnson,
County Attorney,
Sandstone, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
This is to acknowledge receipt of
your letter of November 9th.
Therein you inquire whether the
county may legally erect electric
lights on bridge on state aid road
running through village.
l am of the opinion that the in
quiry must be answered in the af-
firmative, providing the street or road
on which the bridge is located within
the village limits has been legally
designated as state aid road.
The is no statute expressly auth
Orizing county to erect and main
tain lights on roads within the juris-
diction of the county, as there is in
case of towns maintaining the same
on town roads. However, am of
the opinion that a county may erect
and maintain lights on public high
ways where it is reasonably neces-
sary so to do to render same reason
ably safe for travel, where the county
is under duty to maintain such roads.
Yours truly,
CHARLES e. PHILLIPS,
CEP-D Assistant Attorney General.
