HIGHWAYS, ESTABLISHING CERTAIN STATE
                  Act of May 28, 1943, P.L. 796, No. 333              Cl. 36
                                  AN ACT

     Establishing as state highways, certain county highways and
        requiring their construction, repair and maintenance as such.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  That where any county is responsible for the
     construction or maintenance of any highway, such highway shall,
     if and when the county commissioners consent thereto by
     resolution, a copy of which shall be filed in the office of the
     clerk of the courts of the proper county and with the Department
     of Highways, be adopted by the Commonwealth as a State highway
     and shall thereafter be constructed, repaired and maintained at
     the expense of the Commonwealth as State highways are now
     constructed, repaired and maintained under the provisions of
     existing laws: Provided, That no highway shall be taken over by
     the Commonwealth under the provisions of this act, unless such
     highway was a county highway on the twenty-eighth day of May,
     one thousand nine hundred forty-three, nor if a contract for the
     improvement thereof has been entered into between a contractor
     and the Commonwealth or local authorities, or both, until such
     contract shall have been completed: Provided further, That the
     Commonwealth shall not become responsible under the terms of
     this act for any bridge, viaduct or other structure, except
     drainage structures, having a total spanned length of ten feet
     or less, measured along the center line of the highway.
