"At the Dwight Morrow School,
16th Avenue from Arthur to Houston.
"The tentative agreement is as follows:
The City of Amarillo will pay for the excavat-
ing and grading of the roads. The school dis-
tricts will pay for the topping of the roads.
The property owners will pay for the curb and
gutter work and the County will pay for the
calliche and for putting it on the ground.
"We would like to point out some addi-
tional facts:
"(1) That all of this work is to be
done in Precinct #1 and better than 90% of
the road and bridge fund is made up from
automobile license fees paid by residents
of Precinct #1.
"(2) That better than 90% of the peo-
ple of Potter County reside in Precinct #1.
"(3) That.the road improvements to be
.done are around ad near three schools and
that students of these schools in some in-
stances come from other precincts-and during
the winter months, the roads not being. hard
surfaced creates an imbearable situation.
S (4) Numerous people in the City of
Amarillo have pointed out to the Commission-
ers Court the inequity in their minds of not
being able to spend county road and bridge
funds for streets in the City of Amarillo in
Precinct. #1 where over 90% of the money in
making up the fund comes from, except on
main arteries through the city which connect
with roads coming into the city limits and
which roads are already improved adequately.
"In view of the above .set out facts the
Commissioners Court submits to you the ques-
tion .of whether or not the county road and
bridge fund can be spent on the streets enum-
erated and set out above and designated on
the map furnished you and under the conditions
reflected in the fact situatiqn set out above."
Opinion No. V-261, addressed to you, dated
