Gentlem en:--
would respectfully recon-
mend taht a charge be made in
the location OF the Lincoln High
way from a point just south from
the center of Section 3i-78-44, to
a point north of the \. l.. Haight
residence i'm said Section.
On account of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad company HAVING
hauled out all the dirt adjacent
TO their track down to an cleva-
ton slightly below that of their
tarck, and excellent road can be
obtained by moving the highway
west to line adjacent to their
right OF way, thus making the
highway parallel to and adj
jaccnt to tire railroad through
Section 34-7s This change
i'll materially lessen the cost OF
constructing good grade a, this
point because as no located
be required to build satisfac-
tory road.
would therefore respectfully
recOmm md that the necessary
legal steps be taken to secure
the necessary right of way IT,.
make this change and that the
road now traevlcd between the
points mentioned be vacated.
Respectfully submitted.

Report.
Logan, Iowa, April IL, 1918.
To the Hoaorable Board of Sup
ervisors,
| Harrison County, Iowa,
lGentlemen:--
Pursuant to your instructions
have made a survey of the pro-
posed change of location of a
part of the Lincoln Highway
through Section 3A-7S-ll, and
would report as follows:
| The signing of a consent petit
ton. without cost to the county,
| by the owner of the land neecs-
sary for the change had reduced
the cost of making the change.
TO build a road on the present
line to conform TO the present
standard With grade OF 6 per
cenL or less would require the
|remoNal of at least 5000 cubic
yards of dirt TO build a road
adjacent to the right of way of the
/! Illinois Central railroad to |
per cent grade for all of The dis
tame except about 100 feet will
requirc approximately $500 cubic
yards of dirt. AT the south end
of the proposed grade 4 pc
ccnL grade will be required for
a distance of 400 feet. The Hi
nois Central railroad company
has agreed to build This part of
| the road
| | Would therefore recommend
the establishment of a road be-
lginning at a point 39l feet south
Of the center line running cast
land west through Section 3l-7s-
"A, 80 feet east of the right OF
way line of the Illinois Central
railroad and running thence
northeasterly, parallel TO and at
a distance of 80 feet from the
east right of way line of the Hi
nois Central railroad to inter
sect the present highway where
the same lies adjacent to the
fright Of way of The Illinois Cent
raj railroad on the ne ", ne u (,
Section 34-7S-44, said road to be
60 feet in width as shown in the
present petition of Minnie Haighi,.
| would also recommend the
vacation of the present highway
lying to the east of the line above
described and between tn points
of BEGINNING and ending of said
road.
A small portion OF the proposed
change lies on the land of Sarah
E. Henderson, who has consented
to the change in connection with
giving her consent to widening
