New Highway Law Creates County Highway Superintendent
The new law, effective after the governor's proclamation, creates a county highway superintendent with authority to spend up to 50 for bridge and culvert repairs without consent. In counties with under 400 miles of improved roads the salary ends up near 1,500 per year or less, and assistants share road duties. County commissioners select the superintendent and may set local road taxes, with Daviess County anticipated to have several applicants.
