ROADS.

By the act of 1868, c. 189, James H. Steele and Charles A. Lawrence of Frederick
county, and Thomas B. Buckingham of Carroll county, are appointed commissioners,
with power to examine the location for a public road leading from the Frederick
road, in Frederick county: beginning at a point west of Cochrain's School House
Branch, and running thence to the Wooeman Road, north of Talbott's Branch:
thence to the Buffalo Road; thence to the Roop Road in Carroll county, and thence
to the Gillis Road, by the most convenient and practicable route, and to determine,
whether in their opinion, the public interests require a public road to be opened on
said location, and if they shall be of that opinion, they shall proceed to locate the
same in such manner as may best promote the public interests, allowing to the land-
holders through whose lands it may pass, such damages as they may deem just.
The commissioners, and such persons as they may employ in the course of their
duties, shall be entitled to like compensation with examiners and their employees,
under the provisions of the Code relating to county roads, and they shall report a
plat of said road, if they shall determine to locate and lay out the same, together
with the reasons for their determination, and a statement of the damages allowed
to each landholder, and of their expenses and of the probable cost of opening said
road to the county commissioners of Frederick and Carroll counties respectively, and
the said county commissioners may approve and confirm or reject the same, and in
case the same shall be confirmed by the county commissioners of both said counties,
the damages, costs and expenses of so much thereof as lies in Frederick county,
shall be levied on the assessable property of said county, and of so much thereof as
lies in Carroll county, on the assessable property of that county, and after said report
of said commissioners shall have been confirmed as aforesaid, but not otherwise, the
said road may be opened, and remain a public road in like manner, and to like effect
with all other public roads in said counties respectively.
