Whereas, The provisions of the Highway Law, and maps and plans heretofore filed, do not afford adequate information upon which to base the future policy of the State in respect of the construction and improvement of highways; and

Whereas, It is of the utmost importance that the extent of the State highway system, and of the highways to be included therein, be definitely determined and approved so that the construction and improvement of such system may be continued and completed with a due regard for the financial resources and the needs of the State; and

Whereas, Forty counties of the State are now building county systems of county and town roads, it is of the utmost importance that these counties should have exact knowledge as to which roads the State will improve in order that the county may map its next most important roads for improvement.

Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That the joint legislative committee be appointed pursuant to resolution adopted April 18, 1919, to investigate in reference to the highways to be designated for improvement in each county of the State containing towns, with moneys to be derived from Federal apportionment and State appropriations, be continued with all the powers and duties conferred or imposed by such resolution.

Resolved. That such committee shall also investigate the State highway system and determine what highways shall be included therein for construction and improvement as State highways or State and county highways, so that, together with those improved by Federal aid, there shall be established a system of connected State highways.

Resolved, That such committee shall prepare a map and plan for such system of highways and shall submit the same to the Legislature with its final report on or before the 15th day of February, 1921, together with such legislation as may be needed to carry into effect its recommendations for the construction and completion of such system.
