The first state agencies formed for the purpose of constructing
roadways were established in 1895. In that year, the Bureau of
Highways was created to study the laws, physical features, and
economic and legal status of highways in the State (Stats. 1895,
ch. 203). In addition, a Tahoe Wagon Road Commissioner was
appointed to investigate the possibilities of construction of a
road to Lake Tahoe (Stats. 1895, ch. 119). For permission to
