toll had been discontinued long ago
and which was used as a county road
when the turnpikes were purchased
The four magistrates were equally di
yided and Judge Burnside voted
against the allowance, claiming thai
the law provided for repairing count,
roads, and that the funds raised for
turnpikes could not be appropriated
for that purpose, rs other county roads
could claim the same. Squire l. My
ers made a motion TO divide the turn.
pixies into four districts aud that each
magistrate take charge o! the district
nearest his residence, supervise the
work on the roads and draw orders on
the county treasurer for the same, al
lowing themselves $500 each per year
for their services. They all voted for
the motion. Judge Burnside refused
70 sign the order and objected TO II,
going 20 record on the grounds that a
; justice of the peace cannot draw an or.
der on the treasurer, aud claiming fur
ther, that the magistrates have no
= right To vote themselves salary for
,, that purpose. He also claims that suci
, a proceeding ignores the Judge and tn,
clerk, who must record all orders an,
