.JOHN C. DANFORTH ATTORNEY GENERAL. OFFICES OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MISSOURI JEFFERSON CITY January 29, 1975 OPINION LETTER NO. 16 Mr. Lee E. Norbury, Executive Secretary State Soil and Water Districts Commission 705 Hitt, University of .Hissouri Columbia, Missouri 65201 ·Dear Mr. Norbury: . We have received the following communication from the Of- fice 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 main- tained by a soil and water conservation district constitutes a directional or other official sign within the m~aning 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 un- der the directional signs provision. . " If you need any further information in this respect, we will be pleased to assist you. ~v:r~_:l';e JOHN C. DANFORTH Attorney General
