Coleman ct al
Chas. Coleman. John Catlin and VIM.
Conant made complaint to the Board re-
garding the fencing OF a county road be-
tween Chas Coleman's and NJ. A. CO.
nant's farm. We find the fences on both
sides OF the road have been built and
maintained for period of about twenty
seven years and while the lines are not
straight from one corner of the section
to the other and buildings have been
built and yards and fences so long es-
tablished we think it to the best inter-
est of all parties concerned not to change
the road or fences from their present To-
cation at this time: therefore, we rec
ommcnd the wire fence on the north side
of the road remain as it now stands and
the new fence now about to be built on
the south size of the road run uniform
and parallel with the fence on the north
side, maintaining a uniform width of go
feet between them for county road.
this being the decision OF the Board OF
County Commissioners and the County
Engineer.
