The 2003 amendment, effective July 1, 2003, added the section heading; and substituted "secretary" for "state highway engineer".
County road fund is intended to be used for the establishment, construction and maintenance of county roads and may not be used for other purposes nor may the same be transferred to other county funds. A highway traffic patrolman is not even remotely connected with the construction and maintenance of county roads and his salary cannot properly be chargeable or disbursed from the county road fund. 1955 Op.
