3 § 344-r. Portion of the state highway system to be dedicated to
4 Specialist Jason Johnston. All that portion of the state highway system
5 constituting state route thirty-one-A from its intersection with Power-
6 line Road to its intersection with state route ninety-eight in the town
7 of Albion, county of Orleans, shall be dedicated to Specialist Jason
8 Johnston.

10 lation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state highway system
