PART 14_RIGHTS-OF-WAY--Table of Contents
 
Subpart D_Under Title 23, U.S.C. (Interstate and Defense Highway System)
 
Sec. 14.51  Extent of grant.

    By decision of the Secretary, Nevada Department of Highways, 
A.24151, September 1945, it was held that the law imports discretion and 
indicates no intent to vest in the State a right at the end of the four 
months' period without further action by the Department having 
jurisdiction. It was held further that the interest transferred under 
the statute is merely a right-of-way or right to take materials and that 
the Government may reserve the right to dispose of leasable minerals.
