Road Patrolmen Must Get Busy As State Demands Action
The attorney general urges county attorneys to enforce the Foster road patrol law effective July 4 as boards of supervisors rush to appoint patrolmen and assign road duties. Reports indicate many boards have yet to name patrolmen and delays are blamed on perceived January start. The law requires patrolmen to maintain designated county roads, clear ditches, fix ruts, and keep bridges in repair, with officials warned of possible legal action for neglect of duty.
