located within three (3) miles of such municipality or within one-

fourth (1/4) mile of any state or federal highway located anywhere

in the county, or within one-half (1/2) mile of any water supply or

reservoir owned by the municipality, excluding, however, any

incorporated area, except as hereinafter provided; and further

provided that such county is hereby granted authority to adopt,

amend, extend, add to or carry out within the jurisdictional limits

hereby granted authority to adopt, amend, extend, add to or carry

out, throughout the unincorporated area of the county, additional
