Mr. Lee E. Norbury, Executive Secretary
State Soil and Water Districts Commission
705 Hitt, University of Missouri
Columbia, Missouri 65201
Dear Mr. Norbury:
We have received the following communication from the Office of Counsel of the Missouri State Highway Commission which we believe eliminates the need for a detailed answer to your question asking whether a sign on the highways of Missouri maintained by a soil and water conservation district constitutes a directional or other official sign within the meaning of Section 226.520, RSMo Supp. 1973:
"There has been a change in policy of the Highway Commission and the change would make the soil conservation signs eligible for a permit within their own district. The permits must be applied for from the regional district office of the Highway Department. Furthermore, it has been recommended by this office and by the Division of Maintenance and Traffic that these signs would have to qualify under the directional signs provision. . ."
If you need any further information in this respect, we will be pleased to assist you.
Very truly yours,
John C. Danforth
Attorney General
