To the Hon. the Legislative Assembly
OF the State Of Wis onsin.
Your petitioners the Board of Superyi-
sors of the County of Grant beg leave 10
pr. sent to Your notice the enactment OF
said Board %hcreunto annexed and ask some
action from your Hon. body in regard to
the subject matter Of which it treats.
We wish to call your attention to the
numerous State Roads authorized to tie
laid out and established within the limits
Of Graut County by the different Legisla-
lures OF this State. almost all of which are
confined entirely to the limits of this com
~, and which are proper subjects for the
consideration and determination Of the
County Board Of Supervisors.
We would most respectfully reprpsen, 10
your Hon. body that in consequence of the
passage Of these laws 10y thehegi~ atnre the
County Of Grant has been subjected TO
tine payment Of thousands of dollars, whicl,
we deem unfair to be imposed upon its
citizens without their consent, and without
ever having been asked for by them.
In view Of these facts we ask your Hon.
body to pass a general law, land if YOU
deem a general law on the subject inprac.
ticable then we ask the enactment of one
to apply specially to Grant County, in sub
stance AS follows:
That hereafter the counties through
which any State Road, or any part Of a
State Road is proposed to be located shall
not tie liable for the expense of LAYING out
and establishing or surveying any such
road, unless the County Board of Super
sisors OF such counties shall first give their
consent to the establishment of such road.
and agree TO pay the expenses connected
with The laying out and establishing of the
