A ROAD case of considerable interest
to persons living along the line of the
Central Ohio in this county. has just
been decided by the Supreme Court.
For fifty years or more, and prior to the
building of the Central Ohio rail way, a
public road way was established by dedi-
cation, from Lewis Mills along little
McMahon's creek to Belmont. When the
railroad was built, its line frequently in
tersected the roadway and sometimes
occupied it, in which case the road was
changed to suit the purposes of the
railroad company. At many points the
road was left within the fifty feet, the
company's right of way, and road super
visors for this reason refused to keep it
in repair at these points. Upon examin-
alton of the records it was ascertaiDed
that the road had not been legally es-
tablished as county road, whercupon
the county commissioners, about four
years ago, upon the petition of Ira Lewis
and others, took the necessary steps to
establish it as county highway, SO that
it might come under the supervision of
the road supervisor as other roads. To
this proceeding the B. & o. authorities
objected and secured a temporary in
junction. The injunction was dissolved
in the common pleas. The case was
taken to the district court, and the de-
cision of the court below. refusing the
Injunction, was affirmed. 1t was then
taken up on error to the supreme court
where the judgment was again affirmed.
The report of the case says "ths evidence
showed such dedication 'in pals by the
railroad company for county road az
made it right to deny an Injunction"

CORRECTION.

In the report OF the May meeting of the Far.
mer'1 Club, l seemed to have been misunder,
stood. First-The selection read was selected
by Mrs. s. E. Nichols; and in the calculations
made by my little boy, and from which !
read, as to the cost of barb fence, two locust
posts and four boards to the rod would cost
one and one-third dollars per rod; and for 100
acres fenced in ten-acre fields, $2120 90, or a
little over $13 90 per acre. In this there
would be mile of line fence to be deducted
If you joined fences all around; but on most
farms | think this would be made up by roads,
lanes to the house, lots about the barn, &c,
TO fence the quarter into twenty acre. fields,
would cost about $40 per acre for new board
fence. Some members thought a new rail
fence would cost from T5c 10 81 per rod .
This OF course made an allowance for the
timber, something like our Wheeling Creek
friends have been selling 1t att to railroad. 1t
was this estimate that some of our members
thought too high. l may possibly have said
that new board fence with locust posts on
farm fenced in ten>acre fields as contrasted
with one having no fences, would probably
briEg on the market frem $50 to S25 more
per acre. NATHAN B. NICHOLS,
