Mr. W. W. Lane
Arizona State fighway Engineer,
Highway Building,
Phoenix, Arizona.
Dear Mr. Lane s
I have examined and return to you herewith your file per-
taining to House Bill 148 of the Ninth Arizona Legislature, relat
Ing to bridges across the Verde River or its tributaries on the
Clarkdale*CampVerde-Possil Creek Highway.
Replying to the letter of Mr. C. G. Morrison Senior
Highwa Engineer, United States Department of Agriculture, iBureau
of Public Roads, under date of March 93rd, 1929, I am of opinion
as followsa
Item 1 should be answered in the negative.
Items 2 and 3 should be answered in the affirmtive.
In my opinion this conclusion controls when the authority
which has Jurisdiction to locate or relocate this road determines
that by reason of the reasonable probability of the construction
of the Verde Dem, it will be Iapractical to construct a bridge at
or near Camp Verde that authority my then proceed upon that so-
sount to locate mA re-least. the road. Thereupon the Arisons
State Highway Engineer  the Board of   pervisiams of Yavapsi County,
and the Bureau of Publia Reads my Jointly determine the sites of
bridges across the Verde River tributaries along the road as re.
lestedl thereupon, provided eney is mtched as required, the
State appropriation should become available.
The answer to Item 4 of the letter depends upon whether
there is a righteof-y aeros the Verde River at the site of the
asmed bridge which is prior and pa&aunt in point of right to
the right-of-wmy for the reservotr site. As I wderstand, to date
no spocifie right-of-way has been required for such an asfhed
bridge. Undonbtedly a right to the reservoir site has been so-
quIred. If the right to the reservoir site has been sequired,
it vndoubtedly would be tapossible to obtain a Gonflicting right-
ot-wmy for the assumed bridge. Each is of public, or at least, of
semi-public use in the ease of the reservoir aite, an  in case of
a coatliet, the emparative advantages of each and the comparative
diffieulties of one giving way to the other would be weighed. Un-
questionably, the reservoir sito would stand as against the attempt
to place upon it a right-of-way for the assumed bridge.
Yours truly,
H. A. ELLIMT,
SPECIAL COUNSEL,
HAEST                   ARI7NA STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
Enal.
