Mrs. ]. A. McCarley, in person and
BY her attorney, appeared before the
hoard this day, requesting relief
against the action Of Mr.. Mack Bate
nan. who it was claimed, has closed
an old county settlement road leading
to and from the property of Mrs. Nc
Carley to the public road, by building
pasture fences across such road, it
being contended that the property of
Mrs. McCarley is thereby hemmed in
30 that no practicable route of egress
and ingress is available to the near
est public road. It further appearing
that the road referred to is only a
country or private road, consequently
not giving this board any jurisdic-
ton or supervision over same, but by
chapter 1926 Laws Of Florida, as en-
acted in 1917, gives Mrs. McCarley
apparent authority and right to in
stall gates where such road crosses
any fence. and gives her the right of
easement over and upon the lands Of
any persons lying between the shut
OF premises and the nearest public
road. We therefore recommend that
Mr.. Bateman allow and permit Mrs.
McCarley to erect and install gates
where his pasture, or other fences,
cross any road which may be neces.
sary In order to give Mrs. McCarley
an outlet from her property to the
nearest public road, and such gates
to be erected and maintained in ac-
cordance with the provisions of Sec
sion 2, chapter 1926, Laws of Florida.
