was ordered placed on record, to-wit:
Whereas, the road laws are such that
the purchase price for right-of- way over
private property for the use of public
highways must be paid out of the dis,
trict road fund Of the particular dis
trict where the road is located, and
Whereas, the said district road fund
receives but % per cent. Of the county
of property road tax collected
in said respective road districts, which
amount is insufficient to pay any
reasonable damage by any district;
Therefore, be it resolved that no pc
tition for public road shah be consid-
cred by the board of county commits
sioners, unless accompanied by the
release Of damages from the owners Of
lands over which such roads shall pass,
as required by Sec. 93i Of the Revised
statutes of Idaho, and that upon pre-
sentation and filing Of petition and
release as aforesaid, the board of com
shall proceed to investigate,
and if it is shown to the satisfaction of
the board that the order establishing
such road and making it public high
way, from which time only, shall the
same be regrded as public road.
BY the above proceedings the expense
Of viewing, and in a great many instan-
les surveying will be saved, and can be
applied to the construction of much
needed roads.
