Sec. 1.
It is the public policy of this State that county
engineers and superintendents of highways should not suffer
pecuniary loss because of any injury to persons or property
resulting from their failure to perform or negligence in performing
any official duty and which injury arises out of the use of highways,
culverts, bridges, or shoulders for which they have some degree of
supervisory, maintenance, repair or construction responsibility and
that persons who suffer such injury should not be entirely precluded
from recovery of loss occasioned by any such injury.
