in said county to examine all public roads in their respective road
districts, and if any of said roads are found to be less than thirty
feet wide, and if the said supervisors find that at any point said
roads cannot be improved or repaired without widening the same,

and remove ditches, cut down and remove trees, or any other ob-
structions, so that the said road may be rendered passable and con-
venient ; provided, such widening shall not exceed thirty feet.

supervisors in the performance of their duty under the preceding
section, in removing his fence or other obstruction, he may call in
the county surveyor for the purpose of ascertaining where the
centre of said road is, so as tot know where the fifteen feet from
the said centre of the said road will run and be located; and if
the said surveyor shall decide in favor of the location made by

and that it is an injury to said party so appealing, then the county
commissioners shall pay the said surveyor four dollars for each
day he may be employed in surveying said road; but said sur-
veyor shall not charge for any survey made on any road unless he
