On Petition.
Motion to open road.
We, the undersigned. having
been appointed by the Judge Of
Madison county court, to act as
commissioners in the above et~'ef
action, proceeded on the 21st DAY
Of October, 1920, to perform, said
duty and herewith respectfully
submit the following report:
We find that the route OF. said
new road as petitioned for, will
require the taking by the county
for road purposes a portion of the
lands of various persons, all OF
whom with the exception of Nor
ris Bogie, will donate free of
charge, the right of way.
No fencing will be required
which will be chargeable to the
county, with the exception of that
required along the lands of Nor
ris Bogie and Aubert Burrus.
Mention of which is made later in
this report in estimating the costs
of the road.
Your commissioners further re-
port that a map giving the grades
and bearings of the said proposed

In view of the heavy cost of the
construction of this road. it is the
opinion of the commissioners
herein that feasible and better
location could be made over tie
bottom lands nearer the Creek at
a more reasonable cost, which
would provide an outlet to virtu-
ally all the citizens along the
creek whose names appear on the
Detition. The commissioners
herein would further report that
in their opinion there should be
road established for the benefit of
the citizens of this &C immunity as
it is badly needed as their present
road is in bad condition and is To-
Gated in the creek, where it cam
not be improved.
1t further appears that in the
route petitioned for no yard, gar
den orchard or burying ground
will be taken nor any part there
of, nor will the location injure or
destroy any buildings.
Wherefore, having complied
with the law governing our ac-
tions and report and the orders of
the court herein, your commits
sioners would respectfully submit
this as their report and ask that
they be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
J. G. BAXTER,
LA. HAM.
