The. signers of the within petition
give their views and reasons for the
proposed change in said highway as
follows:
First-aIt will cost less to construct
the same on this route.
Second-It leads to church, a
schoolhouse, store and blacksmith
shop, to cemetery; also mail route
over the entire distance.
Whereas, on the old route mail
traveles it only quarter mile. 1t
will be a safe road while on the old
route there is a high hill on one side
nearly two thirds of the distance.
A statement relating to a proposed
change in county system of highways
was referred to the above named
special committee.
STATEMENT OF THE SUPERVISORS
OF THE TOWN OF MARYLAND RE
LATINO TO A PROPOSED CHANGE
IN COUNTY SYSTEM OF HIGH
WAYS.
To the Honorable the County Board of
Pierce County
The board of supervisors of the town
of Hartland respectfully show:
That the state highway engineer has
condemned that portion of the county
highway system in the town of Hart
Isabelle Valley in section nine of said
town. That it is of very little public
advantage to attempt to follow the
rest of that part of the system in said
town and we believe that change as
hereinafter set forth would be of great
advantage to the town and the travel
ing public, the change suggested be-
TO establish two lines or routes
through said town of Hartland as fol-
lows:
The east route to commence at the
northwest corner of section one in said
town and to run directly south on the
section line to the northwest corner of
section thirty-six, thence on the town
line between the town of Hart1and and
the town of Isabelle one mile west to
the northwest corner of section two in
the town of Isabelle, thence south
eighty rods, thence southwesterly to
until it intersectS the state highway
between Maiden Rock and Bay City.
The west route to commence at the
northeast corner of section eight in
town of Hartland running thence
south three -fourths of a mile along
the present highway, thence west one
mile to the highway running on the
section line between sections seven and
eight, thence south along the highway
to the southeast corner of the north
east quarter OF Secllon nineteen lnence
southwesterly along the highway to
the northwest corner of the southeast
quarter of the southeast quarter Of said
section nineteen, thence south to south
line of said section nineteen, thence
east on said section line to the south
east corner of said section nineteen,
thence south to the southeast corner
of the northeast quarter of section
thirty of said town, thence southwest
erly following the present highway to
the intersection of such highway with
the highway running southerly on the
to the southwest corner Of the town
of Hartland, thence west to the village
