Report Of viewers to examine the fol-
lowing proposed public highway, com
menciDg at a point $50 feet east of the
northeast corner Of the northwest quar-
ter of section 80, township 9, south of
range s. east, b. Fl. NJ, and running
thence in a northwesterly direction pa
rallel with the f., T.. & NJ. V. Railway to
the county line between Custer and Per
nihgton county, report rs follows:
We find on examination, the proposed
route as already viewed a desirable and
a practicable one for a public Highway.
v e also find that this proposed high
way will absorb over six acres of desir-
able land from the claim of Mr.. Jones,
Frank Hesnard being agent or ~tenantj
also requiring said Jones to construct a
fence of mile In length, now fenced by
X. X. Co. This proposed highway not
being on a section line, W.. do assess the
damages of Mr.. Jones as follows:
Fence wire.....--"..............$ SO 90
Fence posts "a 90
renee staples......."........... 90
Labor to construct fence......- Is 90
Land at $40 per acre.......--...- 100 90
Total....-.-...... ..............$ 1856 90
This being a correct estimate as
agreed between us.
