In the matter of the road pe'Jiion
or Bird Barrett et a'.
This matter came to be beard at
this time on the report of the
Board of County Road Viewers for
a second reading, as provided by
law, said report being in words
following to- it:
To the Honorable County Court:
We, the undersigned board of
County Road Viewers, appointed by j
the Honorable Court, to view, sur
vey and lay oat a county road as
prayed for in the petition of Bird
Barrett and otbeii, bee l&ive to
report:
That pursuant to said order we
met at the beginning of the pro
posed road on tie 4th day of June
1909 the same being the time and
place flxel by said order for the
rree ing of the undersigned Board
of County Road Viewers and took
to our assistance John G. Wrav
end Luther Trump as chain bearers
and Bird Sarrett as marker and
proceeded to view, survey and lay
out said road a prayed for in said
petition, a near as in our opinion
a good road can be made at a
reasonable expense, taking into
consideration the utility, conveni
ence and inconvenience and ex
pense which will result to individu
als as well as the public, if such
road shall be established and opened.
The said road was surveyed under
our directions, aid the same was
conspicuously marked throughout,
the corners and distances thereon
noted, and all tree3 on the line of
said road were marked on each of
the sides thereof corresponding
with the dlre:tlan of said road,
with three notches cut through
the bark and one inch into the
wood, and all trees adjacent to the
said line of sail road were plainly
blazed on the side facing said road.
The beginning and termination of
said road and the termination of
each mile and intermediate points
have ben marked in the ma.iner
provided by law, as will more fully
appear by the ce.tiXied return of
the surveyor of said road, which
is hereunto attached and made a
part of thl3 report.
That in our opinion the said pro
posed road should be established
for the following reasons:
It makes much easier grade than
- old road and accommodates more
people and the travellne public.
The portion of the old road sought
to be vacated contains grades as
high as 18.7 per cent. The steepest
grade on the proposed change is
6.5 per ceat.
No damages claimed and none al
lowed. And said report of the board of
county road viewers having been
publicly read in open court on two
several days of the present term
of the court, and it appearing to
the court that said board of road
viewers report favorably thereon
and recommend that said proposed
road be established as a county
road and be declared as a public
highway and all the proceedings
according to law, and no remon
strance or claim for damages hav
ing been filed herein, and there
having been no cause shown why
this proposed rood should not be
declared a public highway and
ordered open according; to law, and
the court being satisfied from tho
report of the board of county roal
viewers that such road will be of
public utility; the report of the
viewers being favorable thereto,
and all the flle3 and records of
said proceeilngs having been sub
mitted to the district attorney, who
has advised this court as to the
lesality of said proceedings, it is
therefore consljered and orde
by the court th'-t the report of
the board of county road viewers be

and that said proposed road be de
clared public highway of Wallowa
