This case grows out of a bill filed by Mr. Bellows for $262.34 for money paid out on account of Gallagher ditch assessments, the point at issue being, as we understand it, whether the county should pay highway assessments or the township. The commissioners allowed the bill at $35, which would be the assessment on the Range Line gravel road only. The suit is to determine if the county should not pay all of the various highway assessments, amounting to the sum for which claim was filed.
