Special to Times-Republican.
Traer, Sept. 2l.-The hearing on the
j. NJ. Bicket road matter consumed two
days time before the board of super
visors last week. The board, after
much discussion, decided to open the
road provided the petitioners for the
road, by Nov. 1, paid damages as fol-
lows: Mrs. j. G. Sfaley, $3.50; Frank
Podhasky, s425; c. H. Everts, $500:
John Hanus. Jr., 1925; Frank Halup-
nick, s112.5O; H. Schuett, s119.50, and
John Stepanek, 1915. The costs of the
proceedings must also be paid by the
petitioners. 1t is the current report that
both sides are somewhat dissatisfied
and in all probability an appeal will be
taken to the district court within the
time prescribed by law. The amounts
allowed the several claimants are said
to be the largest amounts ever allowed
in Tama county as damages in road
case.
