public road previously existing is obstructed thereby, the owner
of such mill or other water works, shall make a convenient and
safe way over the breast of said dam, at least twelve feet wide,
and keep the same in repair, or if a safe way for carriages can-
not be made on the breast of said dam, the said owner shall
build a bridge twelve feet wide either above or below said dam,
and connect the same conveniently with such public road, so
that the same shall be easily passable for wagons or carriages,
and such owner shall keep the said bridge in repair.

works, may cross a public road existing when such race shall be
made, the owner or occupier of such mill or other water-works,
shall keep a good and sufficient bridge not less than twelve feet
in width, over such race.

20. Where the owner or occupier of any mill or other water-
works, shall refuse or neglect to make either of the bridges or
the way over the breast of the dam, mentioned in the two pre-
ceding sections, or keep the same in good repair, the supervisor
having charge of said road, shall proceed forthwith to erect or
repair the same, and return an exact account of the expense
thereof, on oath, to the County Commissioners at their next
meeting.

21. If the County Commissioners shall be satisfied that the
account returned by any supervisor under the preceding section
is correct, they shall place the same in the hands of the sheriff,
who shall collect the same from the owner, occupier or possessor
of such mill or other water-works, in the same manner as other
county charges; and he shall pay the same, when collected, to
the County Commissioners, for the use of the county.

22. All persons who shall wantonly and maliciously impair or
destroy any index in wood or stone, or any finger board erected
for the information of travellers in this State, shall be fined not
exceeding five dollars for each offence, one-half to the informer,
and the other half to the use of the county where the offence
was committed.
