Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 June 1911 — PETITION HELD GOOD. [ARTICLE]

PETITION HELD GOOD.

County Commissioners Decide Jordan Tp. Road Matter. The county commissioners held an adjourned session Saturday to hear evidence in the gravel road petition of C. E. Sage, et al. for a system of improved highways in Jordan township. A diagram of the proposed improvement was recently published in The Democrat. The principal objections seem to be as to the east and west road, the objectors claiming that it is too far south, one mile north Of the Carpenter tp., line. A -few ’ withdrawals from the petition had been filed, but the board held the petition was signed by a majority of the freehold voters of the township, and was sufficient. L. S. Alter was appointed engineer and George May and A. J. Bellows viewers, to meet and qualify at the office of the county auditor on July 1, and report on or before the first day of the August term. James H. Chapman, one of the objectors, prayed an appeal to the circuit court.
