Highway System

This chapter discusses Article XVI of the Oklahoma constitution, which concerns public roads. Building and maintaining a state highway system is a mandatory governmental function over which the state enjoys “sovereign immunity.” Section 1 states that “the Legislature is directed to establish a Department of Highways, and shall have the power to create improvement districts and provide for building and maintaining public roads, and may provide for the utilization of convict and punitive labor thereon.” Section 2 clarifies that the state does not attempt to preempt the federal government’s actions and rights with regard to the public highways. It also assures that this provision was not intended to take away the rights of a Native American tribe. Section 3 gives the legislature broad powers to use its discretion to make, and to generate money for, a system of levees, drains, and irrigation ditches. The state may pay for such items through taxation.

Highway System

The process was developed for collecting and analyzing cellular coverage data by applying the results of analysis to analog cellular coverage in the state of Kansas. The type of analysis that is appropriate depends on the purpose for which the information is to be used. Two types of analyses were examined—fixed coverage and mobile coverage. Fixed coverage analysis is needed for such functions as automatic collision notification in which any individual cellular connection can occur from a fixed location. The study showed that the fixed cellular coverage of the Kansas state highway system was good. Only 0.4% of the highway by length had inadequate signal strength for using a 3-W phone (a typical car phone) and 1.7% for using a 0.6-W phone (a typical handheld unit). In contrast, the mobile coverage analysis identified numerous areas where a call from a moving vehicle would be severely limited in duration. This type of analysis is needed for applications such as communications for emergency medical services, for which a vehicle must sustain continuous communications. For example, more than 9% of the state highways by length cannot sustain a call of 30 min with a 0.6-W phone, and in some areas the percentage is considerably higher. For certain applications, this difference may simply translate to inconvenience, but for other purposes it can be very important. The results of the two types of analyses highlight different characteristics of the coverage footprint; one addresses absolute coverage and the other continuity of coverage. The results of the analysis technique relate more directly to the unique characteristics of wireless communications utilization in transportation applications.

On behalf of the City of Lockhart (the City), TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) recently conducted an intensive archeological survey for the City’s sidewalk improvements project located in Lockhart, Caldwell County, Texas. According to design plans, the project will entail the construction of a 10-foot (ft) wide by 2,220 ft long concrete sidewalk that will enhance connectivity and accessibility through Lockhart City Park (Figures 1-1 and 1-2). The Area of Potential Effects (APE) is 0.98 acres in size (Appendix A: Design Plans). Concrete path construction will cause disturbance of up to one foot below the existing grade along the alignment of the path. As the project will be located on lands under purview of an entity of the State of Texas, the project is subject to compliance with the Antiquities Code of Texas (ACT). During coordination with the Texas Historical Commission (THC) it was determined that the APE located east of State Highway (Hwy) 183 would require survey prior to construction (Appendix B: Regulatory Correspondence). Archeological survey was conducted on October 8, 2019 by Benjamin Johnson and Steven Sarich and on October 17, 2019 by Pollyanna Clark, Josh Haefner, Benjamin Johnson and Steven Sarich. During the survey, five shovel tests were excavated and four no dig locations were recorded. Due to the proximity of the APE to marked graves, the presence of the broken grave marker deposited downslope, and the inaccuracy of the currently mapped cemetery boundary on the THC Atlas, TRC recommended that the portion of the APE that coincides with the Lockhart Cemetery be subject to machine scraping. On November 5, 2019 the survey area was revisited to conduct mechanical scraping where the APE was noted to be in proximity to marked burials. No evidence of any cultural materials or grave shafts were encountered during monitoring of scraping.

An account of the re-measurement of the cube, cylinder, and sphere, used by the late Sir George Shuckburgh Evelyn, in his inquiries respecting a standard of weights and measures

Weights And Measures

The experiments above adverted to are detailed in the Philoso­phical Transactions for 1798; and though the greatest attention was bestowed on those parts of the inquiry relating to the weight of the solids, the method of measuring them is not so fully detailed; Cap­tain Kater, therefore, was desirous of re-investigating the latter sub­ject before the Commissioners of Weights and Measures should make their final report. The author then proceeds to describe the state of the apparatus; and the means which he adopted in effecting this measurement of three sides of the cube gives for its content 124.1969 inches.
