The county commissioners sat all day yesterday to hear a complaint on the Howard road, road No. 19. The road is located on Garfield Table and has been under dispute for many years. It was established about twenty-eight years ago and at the time it was thought to be on the section line. However recent surveys have proven that it is about twenty rods off the line.
Many civil cases have been the result of the road for many years past.
County Surveyor Cochran was called out there this spring to establish the road, and he made a survey and showed that the road was far off the line. The civil suits and contentions had arisen over the fact that the road as it stood cut out several acres of land from some farms while others had several acres added to them.
A petition was presented to the county commissioners by C. P. Howard and others asking that the road be put on the section line and between forty and fifty witnesses were called.
The case lasted nearly all day and the commissioners took the case under consideration and later decided to have the road placed where it belongs.
