Pursuant 10 an order of the board OF gu
pervisors of Jefferson county, we the IN
derspned commissioners therein appoint
cd have gone upon the road, prayed for in
the petition of James Logic and others,
would beg leave respectfully TO report that
we have carefully examined the same'and
are of the opinion their prayer is reason
able. and ougb. TO be granted. as II is in
dispensably necessary to the travelling
community as ihoroughiare to churches,
depo, and post Office; and further that an
old road which has been in use from time
immemorial, rnnning nearly with The pro-
posed new road, has recently been closed
by high and heavy rail ience' so that
persons desiring TO 60 10 church. depot or
post office, would have to go crcuitous
and roundabout, way. We have therefore
located the same as follows, tina. ie. be-
ginning a, stone A. supposed TO be IN
the county line, and corner to James NJ.
Vanmelre and Sou,hwood's heirs; thence
along their line to l, thence with Sonth-
wood e. Hamill 10 2, (,he entire road 30
feet wide to be taken off the Souihwood
land thence a, Q, making slight curve,
cutting off small corner Of Mrs. Ham
ills land, and thence llamill's line and
Gorrell's heirs TO 8, in their line, thence
a straight line 10 B. along an old road to
the road leading from Suider's Mill TO
Kearneysville; this straight section from
8 to b. will pass obliquely through the
lands of Gorrel's heirs and Mrs. HamIil,
bu, will abou. equalze the quantities on
either side. We have assessed the dam
ages OF Soulhwood's heirs a. thirty dol
lars, and Gorrell's heirs and Mrs. Hamlll
q. forty dollars each. All Of which is re-
specially submitted this ooh May, 1869.
