Nevada Highway Act Created State System and Tax Plan
The Reno Gazette reports the State Highway Act creating a state highway department with a skilled engineer, a seven to ten cent tax per hundred dollars, and county contributions. Three highway directors will oversee the engineer, who will lay out and contract road work. The plan prioritizes surveys and preparations for 1918 with larger activity in 1919 and beyond.
