In the matter of the ROmmel joint
road improvement, a petition having
been filed with the Board for the im-
provement of a road on the county
line between Mercer and Auglaize
counties. and il appearing that the
petitioners constituted a majority of
the land owners affected, the joint
board met on the nth and went up
on the line of the improvement and
determined the necessity therof.
The following is the line of said
road: Beginning at the west line of
Burkettsville, on the county line be-
tween Darke and Mercer counties;
thence on and along said county line.
In the matter of the Mile Greek
joint ditch between Auglaize and
Mercer Counties the engineer was or
dered to prepare plans and estimates
for the grading of the County Line
road along said ditch, where the ex-
cavated earth from said ditch lies on
the road; also that the Mercer coun-
ty board sell the Frank bridge top
and abuttment protection
The board meeing last Friday on
the matter of the Cell ditch found
that same will be conducive to the
public health, convenience and well
fare, and a benefit to the lots and
lands affected and therefore found in
favor of same. They further found
that the route described was the best
route an dgranted the petition accor-
dinghy.
The Board then fixed June Is at
o'clock as the time for the hearing of
all other matters pertaining to the
