In 1904 the first law authorizing State aid for road building put this program under the supervision of the Highway Division of the Survey Commis- sion, which performed this function until the creation of the State Roads Commission by Chapter 141, Acts of 1908 (Code 1957, 1969 Repl. Vol., 1970 Supp., Art. 89B, sees. 1-235). By Chapter 526, Acts of 1970, the State Roads Commission became a part of the Department of Transportation, its name changed to the State Highway Admin- istration, and the title of Director of Highways changed to State Highway Administrator (Code 1957, 1971 Repl. Vol., Art. 41, sec. 207F). |
