REVISED MAP OF
PROPOSED HIGHWAY
We present herewith a" revis
ed map of the highway routes
designated by the road bonding
bill. This map corrects many
of the errors made in the hastily
prepared sketches that were
published soon after the legisla
ture passed the bill. It also
shows the cities and towns along
the state highways. '
While this is not an official
map, it has been inspected in
formally by the members of the
State Highway Commission. The
Commissioners are precluded
by their official position from
expressing any opinion qs to ex
actly whore tho roads will go.
until such timo as they hold
hearings in the different coun
ties and take such formal action
as the law requires in locating
and designating the highways
permanently.
Tho kiod of roads contemplat
ed in tho bonding act is shown
in small type.
"Paved roads" are those des
ignated to bo bard. surfaced af-
ter I lie counties prepare the road
bods. This simply includes
grading. It does not involve
the couuly in the expeuso of ce
monl or crushed rock foundation
as part of the paving.
"E'ost roads" aru highways
constructed in co operutlou with
the Federal government. Any
designatd highway over whicb
mail is or may be carried is sub
ject to classification a a po.sl
mad. It is proposed to grade
the pobt toads aud put a suita
ble surface ou same, (not a pave
mont) the sum for this to come
from tho Federal government
and the 6lute bond Issue.
"Forest roads" are the same.
as "Post roads." except that
thov must be built within or
j loading to National forests. Tlvr
(expense is shared bv tho irnv
j eminent, the state and tho couu.
'ties.
i "Paved aud Tost roads" aro
i roads which are to be paved by
, the state over such miluage as
the counties may prepare ready
for paving; the remainder of the
mileage of those roads will bo
improved an "Post road."
The bonding act confers full
jurisdiction upon the Stale High
way Commission to make minor
chauges iu location, aud tliu Com
mission has expressed its policy,
mm, i a
which is to learn the facts iu
each locality before making final
locations, so each state road may
be placed where it should bo to
serve tho population of tho couu
ties traversed by it. Not until
after these hearings havo been
held io nil the counties will it be
finally determined where till
these Istate roads will bo con
structed, so there will be ample
opportunity for correction of
errors or changing of such local
routings where same may be
done to better serve the county
population.
