Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Highway Code of the State of New York: Containing the Highway Law of 1908, as Revised by the Joint Committee of the Senate Assembly to Investigate the Subject of Highways; The Motor Vehicle Law of 1904, and All Other Constitutional and Statutory Provisions Relating to Highways and Bridges; Wit The Highway Law of 1908 marks a new era in the development of the highway system of the State of New York. It is a revision and codification of all general laws pertaining to the construction and maintenance of highways and bridges, and the raising and expenditure of state, county and town moneys therefor, and in any way relating to the use of and the rights of the public on such highways and bridges, and the powers and duties of state, county and town officers in respect thereto. But it does more than revise and codify existing laws; it originates new methods of state and county administration of highway affairs; it logically and effectively unites centralization with local control and responsibility, on the one hand, by creating a state commission with full power to aid, supervise and direct the local officer in administering highway affairs in his locality, and on the other, by preserving to the local officer all his power and responsibility in respect to local conditions and the expenditure of town and county funds; it outlines a comprehensive system of trunk highways and provides for their construction at the sole expense of the state; it abolishes the time-worn and ineffective labor system of taxation for the maintenance of town highways and substitutes therefor a money tax to be levied by the board of supervisors upon estimates duly submitted by the town superintendent of highways and revised by the town board, subject to reasonable limitations as to amounts which may be raised without a vote of a town meeting; it provides for the proper audit of town expenditures for highways and bridges and the systematic and uniform accounting for receipts and expenditures by highway officers, under the supervision of and in the form prescribed by the state commission of highways; it has more fully protected the interests of county and town in the construction of county highways and has provided more effectual safeguards in the award of contracts for the construction of state and county highways. These are only a few of the changes made by this important act. No other legislature has attempted such comprehensive modification of existing highway conditions.
