RURAL INDEX MAPS
                 Act of Jun. 29, 1923, P.L. 913, No. 351              Cl. 36
                                  AN ACT

     Authorizing the Secretary of Agriculture separately, or jointly
        with the county commissioners, to provide for the
        installation of rural index maps and signs.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That the Secretary of
     Agriculture separately, or jointly with the county commissioners
     of any county, is hereby authorized by contract, or otherwise,
     to cause to be prepared for the use of his department, and such
     other departments and agencies of the State Government as may
     have use for the same, a rural index map of the several counties
     of the Commonwealth. Such maps shall be prepared on such simple
     arrangement or system as will readily locate, by direction,
     distance, and road or highway, from the principal community
     centre, each rural residence in the county.  The said secretary
     may also place at each such rural residence an appropriate sign
     showing the location thereof by direction and distance from the
     community centre.
        Section 2.  The county commissioners of any county are
     authorized to enter into agreements with the Secretary of
     Agriculture for the preparation of said maps and the location of
     said signs; and, for such purposes, are authorized to expend
     such moneys from the county treasury as may be agreed upon.
        Section 3.  For the purpose of reducing the cost of the
     installation of the system hereinbefore provided for, the
     Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to permit the use of
     advertising matter in connection with such maps and any
     directories attached thereto, and may sell copies thereof.
