being to aorreotly erldenoe upon the reoord that whloh for
so&a reason had not been anterod of reoord,at tha propr
time.
        Referring to the oontext of the nuno pro tuna order
above quoted, It ~111 bs noted that the Highway Commfssion
expressly finds "that throuqh lnadrertenoe   In drawing up
Elm&e #7997, it tallod  to reflect tha aotloa of the High-
way Cow~~Ia~lon of that data . . . -, ati that, therefore,
to oorreot auoh error aad otisslon 80 that the reoordm ntaf
