Report of the viewers on the road to
lead from the St. Mary's and Olean
Road near Adam Pistner's to the.Miles
burg nnd Smethport Turnpike near R.
Brown's place. "Tho undersigned
persons appointed by the within order
of court to view anil lay out the said
road therein named respectfully re
port That having been present at the
view of the ground proposed for such
road and having been first sworn ac
cording to law, in pursuance of said
order we have viewed and laid out
and tlo return for public use the fol
lowing road to-wit: Beginning at
the terminus of a road leading from
St. Mary's and Olean road near the
farm of Adam Pistner (or the south
east corner of R. W. Brown's land;)
thence through said Brown's land
north thirty-four degrees west for
sixty and one-quarter of a rod to a
post; thence north thirty-nine degrees
and thirty minutes west for fourteen
and one-half rods to a post ; thence
north forty-two degrees west for fifty
eight rods to the intersection of
Smethport aud Milesburg turnpike,
being in length one hundred and
thirty-two and three-quarters of a rod.
The said road is partly on improved
land and runs along an old road
which was granted by the Court and
used for several years, in fact, uutil
Mr. Brown got up a petition and had
the said road vacated. A plot or draft
of said road and land is hereunto an
nexed which said road so as aforesaid
laid out we are of tho opinion Is neces
sary for publio road. Ten days u-
tice was given County Commissioners,
to the owners nnd occupants of land
through which the contemplated roai
might pass, of the timethe viewers
would be there, and Mr. It. Brownllie
owner of the land, attended. We en
deavored, but failed, to procure writ
ten releases from R. W. Brown, and
nssesed his damages accurlng to him
through this road (two and one-half
acres) (& $50.00. Fencing of 2G4 rodsi
$1.00 per rod. total $380.00. We
asked him to sign release for thin
amount which the said Brown de
clined to do, on the ground the dama
ges were not assessed high enough.
